Bone drug shows promise for rare mast cell disorder
NCT ID NCT03401060
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether denosumab, a drug given as a shot every 6 months, can improve bone density in people with osteoporosis caused by systemic mastocytosis. 24 adults with the condition took part. The goal was to see if the drug strengthens bones and prevents fractures better than a placebo.

Inclusion Criteria: * Male or female \>/= 18 years of age at time of informed consent * Willingness and ability to sign informed consent, comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests and other study procedures. * Patient with Indolent systemic or cutaneous mastocytosis according to WHO criteria (Appendix 4) with any specific treatment including corticosteroid, chemotherapy and immunomodulating drugs. * Patient with: * osteoporosis defined as bone mineral density T score ≤ -2.5 at the lumbar spine, OR * osteopenia defined as BMD T-score \>-2,5 and ≤ -1 at the lumbar spine and low energy fracture (defined as fractures that are associated with decreased bone mineral density. Are excluded fractures of skull, face, mandible, metacarpals, fingers, or toes, pathologic fracture, and fracture that are associated with severe trauma). (in case of osteoarthritis at the lumbar spine, the T score at left femoral neck or total left hip can be used to define osteoporosis or osteopenia) Exclusion Criteria: * Patient with aggressive mastocytosis or/and Associated Hematologic Non-Mastocytosis Disease (AHNMD) * Patient with conditions that influence bone metabolism (primitive hyperparathyroidism, hyperaldosteronism, hypercorticism, etc …) * Patient treated with intravenous bisphosphonate within 1 year prior to enrolment or with any other antiosteoporotic treatment within 3 months before enrolment. (per os bisphosphonate, strontium ranelate) Calcium and vitamin supplementation will be accepted * Patient previously treated with denosumab * Patient with hypocalcemia and/or hypo25-hydroxyvitamin D level non substituted prior enrolment * Woman without contraceptive treatment if of childbearing age. * Pregnant or breastfeeding woman * Patient with contraindication to denosumab * Patient with medical, psychiatric or other conditions that may interfere with patient safety * Patient with dental problem that need any dental surgery within 6 months after enrolment. * Patient with clearance of creatinine less than 30 mL/min/1,73m2 (MDRD) or patient receiving dialysis
