What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

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
