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.
