Subjects who are surgically sterile (eg, history of hysterectomy) or whose sexual partner is sterile (eg, history of vasectomy) are not required to use contraceptive measures
  • Laboratory tests are within clinically acceptable range
  • Clinically acceptable physical exam and no history or evidence of any clinically significant medical disorder that would pose a risk to subject safety or interfere with study evaluations or procedures.

Exclusion criteria

  • Female subject with a prior history of breast cancer; breast implant in the breast to be biopsied; Known history of fibrocystic breast disease
  • Subject is unable or unwilling to provide breast biopsy tissue from the upper outer quadrant of her breast
  • Pregnant or plans to become pregnant while exposed to investigational product
  • Lactating/breastfeeding or plans to breastfeed while exposed to investigational product
  • Recent use of any non-approved medications or devices
  • Uncontrolled thyroid disorder
  • Significant dental/oral disease

  • Positive urine screen for alcohol and/or drugs

Treatment and study plan

Denosumab

Drug

Single sucutaneous dose

Percutaneous core needle breast biopsy

Procedure

Primary outcomes

  1. Log Ratio of Post-baseline to Baseline Ki-67 Index in Mammary Epithelial Cells

    Time frame: Baseline and Day 28

    Ki-67 is a marker for cell proliferation. Participants underwent percutaneous core needle breast biopsies on Day 1 (Baseline, prior to treatment) and Day 28. Levels of Ki67 were measured using immunohistochemical staining and digital imaging. The proliferation index was calculated as the percentage of Ki-67 positive terminal ductal lobular unit (TDLU) and duct epithelial cells. The higher the percentage, the higher the rate of epithelial cell proliferation.
