Can a Bone-Building drug protect patients with breast cancer spread to bones?
NCT ID NCT07776613
First seen Aug 20, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase II trial tests whether romosozumab, a bone-building drug, can improve bone formation in people with metastatic breast cancer that has spread to the bones and who also have osteoporosis. Participants receive monthly injections of romosozumab for a year. The study measures changes in bone turnover markers and monitors safety to see if this approach could help reduce fracture risk in this population.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- romosozumab
- What this could lead to
- If effective, romosozumab could offer a new way to strengthen bones and reduce fracture risk in people with breast cancer that has spread to the bones.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase study, so results may not apply broadly. Romosozumab may have side effects, and its benefit in this specific population is not yet proven.

Inclusion Criteria: * ≥18 years of age at the time of giving informed consent; * Patients diagnosed with hormone-receptor positive (ER/PR \>1%) metastatic breast cancer to bones on any endocrine therapy with or without targeted therapy (i.e. CDK 4/6 inhibitors, PI3K inhibitors, anti-HER2-therapy); * Evidence of osteoporosis on dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan; must following: * osteoporosis on dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan; or history of fragility fracture of the spine or hip; or of morphometric spine fracture; Exclusion Criteria: * Prior therapy with a bone-modifying agent (intraveous bisphosphonates or subcutaneous denosumab) for metastatic bone disease; * 25 (OH) vitamin D levels \< 20 ng/mL; Vitamin D repletion will be permitted and subjects will be be rescreened once 25 (OH) vitamin D level ³ 20 ng/mL; * History of myocardial infarction or stroke within the preceding year; * Current hyper- or hypocalcemia, defined as albumin-adjusted serum calcium outside the normal range per institutional standard (\<8.5 or \>10.5 mg/dL); Calcium repletion will be permitted and subjects will be be rescreened once values are within the institutional standard. * History of non-healed dental or oral surgery; * History of osteonecrosis of the jaw
