Denosumab: A Potential Treatment Option for Aneurysmal Bone Cysts
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Denosumab (Xgeva) for Bone Cyst Aneurysmal and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 6 participants.
Detailed Summary
The efficacy of traditional therapeutic approaches for aneurysmal bone cysts (ABC), such as surgery, embolization, sclerotherapy and radiotherapy, are often compromised for lesions in axial skeletons and adolescents complicated with pathological fracture. Therefore, denosumab, a new drug that has been successfully used in giant cell tumor of bone but has seldom used in ABC, was used to treat ABC in this trial.
