Phase II Study of Denosumab to Define the Role of Bone Related Biomarkers in Breast Cancer Bone Metastasis
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if denosumab in combination with a
hormonal drug can help lower the number of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in patients with
breast cancer that has spread to the bone. The safety of this combination will also be
studied.
This is an investigational study. Denosumab is FDA approved and commercially available to
prevent bone-related events caused by breast cancer that has spread to the bone. Using
denosumab to lower CTCs in patients with breast cancer that has spread to the bone is
investigational.
You may have the option of continuing denosumab after the study ends.
Up to 35 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.

Study Drug Administration:
If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study, you will receive denosumab
through a needle under your skin on Day 1 of each 28-day study cycle.
Starting on Day 1 of week 4, you will also begin taking a hormonal drug. The study doctor
will choose the hormonal drug you receive based on your previous hormonal therapy for breast
cancer. The study doctor will give you instructions for taking your hormonal drug.
Study Visits:
On Day 1 of week 4:
- You will have a physical exam
- Blood (about 3 tablespoons) will be drawn for routine tests
- Blood (about 5 teaspoons) will be drawn for CTC testing and to check your immune system.
- Urine will be collected to test for a biomarker that is used to measure the rate of bone
breakdown.
- If the study doctor thinks it is needed, you will have a PET scan, a bone scan, or an
MRI to check the status of the disease.
On Day 1 of Cycle 2 and Cycle 3, blood (about 1 teaspoon) will be drawn for routine tests.
Length of Study:
You may receive the denosumab and hormonal therapy combination for up to 13 weeks. You will
be taken off study if the disease gets worse or intolerable side effects occur.
End of Study Visit:
After your last dose of the study drug, the following tests and procedures will be performed:
- You will have a physical exam.
- Blood (about 3 tablespoons) will be drawn for routine tests.
- Blood (about 5 teaspoons) will be drawn for CTC testing and to check your immune system.
- Urine will be collected to test for a biomarker that is used to measure the rate of bone
breakdown.

MRI to check the status of the disease.

Inclusion Criteria:
1. Patients have histological confirmation of breast carcinoma.
2. Patients have progressive metastatic disease with predominantly bone metastasis with 1
or more lesions and at least 1 bone lesion has pathological confirmation, have not
been treated or have been treated with any prior therapies (including bisphosphonate
treatment and/or radiation therapy). Patients can have soft tissue involvement (Lymph
node and skin) and/or metastatic lesions at major organ sites (i.e. lung, liver, etc).
3. Patients have positive ER expression in the primary tumor site by IHC (defined as
>/=10%) (PR status is not required)
4. Adequate hematologic function: 1)Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >/= 1.0 x 10^9/L, 2)
Platelet count >/= 50 x 10^9/L, 3) Hemoglobin >/= 9.0 g/dL
5. Adequate cardiac function (LVEF >/= 45%) if patient has known cardiac dysfunction
history
6. Adequate Renal function: Calculated creatinine clearance >30 ml/min
7. Adequate Hepatic function: 1) Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) = 2.5 x ULN; 2)
Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) = 2.5 x ULN; 3) Alkaline phosphatase (Alp) = 2.5 x
