RANKL Inhibition and Mammographic Breast Density

Official Title

Randomized Clinical Trial of RANKL Inhibition with Denosumab on Mammographic Density in High Risk Premenopausal Women with Dense Breasts

Study Details

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine and physicians at Siteman Cancer Center are carrying out a study to determine whether a drug called denosumab (currently in use to prevent fractures and treat osteoporosis) can reduce breast density in women who have dense breasts. This study could help identify novel ways to prevent breast cancer in younger women.
