Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Participant has provided informed consent prior to initiation of any study specific activities/procedures.
  • Chinese male or female adults aged ≥ 18 years or skeletally mature adolescents (ie, radiographic evidence of at least 1 mature long bone [eg, humerus with closed growth epiphyseal plate]) ≥ 12 years of age.
  • Skeletally mature adolescents must weigh at least 45 kg.
  • Pathologically confirmed giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) within 1 year before study enrollment (central pathology review).
  • Measurable evidence of active disease within 1 year before study enrollment.
  • Participants with surgically unsalvageable disease (eg, sacral, spinal GCTB, or multiple lesions including pulmonary metastases) OR participants whose planned surgery includes joint resection, limb amputation, hemipelvectomy or surgical procedure resulting in severe morbidity.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status ([ECOG PS] of ≤ 2).

Exclusion criteria

  • Known or suspected current diagnosis of underlying malignancy including high-grade sarcoma, osteosarcoma, fibrosarcoma, malignant giant cell sarcoma.
  • Known diagnosis of malignancy derived from non-musculoskeletal system within the past 5 years (participants with definitively treated basal cell carcinoma and cervical carcinoma in situ are permitted).
  • Known or suspected current diagnosis of brown cell tumor of bone or Paget's disease.
  • Known or suspected current diagnosis of non GCTB giant cell-rich tumors.
  • Prior history or current evidence of osteonecrosis/osteomyelitis of the jaw.
  • Active dental or jaw condition which requires oral surgery, including tooth extraction.
  • Non-healed wound after dental/oral surgery.
  • Planned invasive dental procedure for the course of the study.
  • Any planned treatment with intravenous (IV) or oral bisphosphonates during the study.
  • Currently receiving other GCTB-specific treatment (eg, radiation, chemotherapy, or embolization).
  • Current or previous XGEVA treatment
  • Concurrent bisphosphonate treatment
  • Currently receiving treatment in another investigational device or drug study, or less than 30 days since ending treatment on another investigational device or drug study(ies). Other investigational procedures while participating in this study are excluded.
  • Female participant is pregnant or breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant or breastfeed during treatment and for an additional 5 months after the last dose of XGEVA.
  • Female participants of childbearing potential unwilling to use 2 highly effective method of contraception or acceptable method of effective contraception during treatment and for an additional 5 months after the last dose of XGEVA.
  • Female participants of childbearing potential with a positive pregnancy test assessed at screening by a serum pregnancy test and/or urine pregnancy test.
  • Male participants with a female partner of childbearing potential who are unwilling to practice sexual abstinence (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraception during treatment and for an additional 5 months after the last dose of XGEVA.
  • Male participants with a pregnant partner who are unwilling to practice abstinence or use a condom during treatment and for an additional 5 months after the last dose of XGEVA.
  • Male participants unwilling to abstain from donating sperm during treatment and for an additional 5 months after the last dose of XGEVA.
  • Participant has known sensitivity to any of the products to be administered during dosing.
  • Participant likely to not be available to complete all protocol-required study visits or procedures, and/or to comply with all required study procedures (eg, Clinical Outcome Assessments) to the best of the participant and investigator's knowledge.
  • Unstable systemic disease including active infection, uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina, congestive heart failure, or myocardial infarction within 6 months before enrollment.
  • History or evidence of any other clinically significant disorder, condition or disease (with the exception of those outlined above) that, in the opinion of the investigator or Amgen physician, if consulted, would pose a risk to participant safety or interfere with the study evaluation, procedures or completion.
  • Participant has any kind of disorder that compromises the ability of the participant to give written informed consent and/or to comply with study procedures.

Treatment and study plan

XGEVA®

Drug

Participants will receive XGEVA® 120 mg subcutaneously (SC) once every 4 weeks (Q4W) with a loading dose of 120 mg SC on day 8 and day 15.

Other names: Denosumab

Primary outcomes

  1. Objective tumor response

    Time frame: Up to 36 months

    Objective tumor response is defined as the percentage of participants with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) evaluated based on European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) criteria and Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST).

Secondary outcomes

  1. Time to disease progression or recurrence in participants with unsalvageable giant cell tumor of bone (GCTM) (Cohort 1 only)

    Time frame: From baseline until end of treatment, up to a maximum of 36 months

  2. Number of participants with surgically salvageable giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) after treatment (Cohort 1 only)

    Time frame: Month 36

  3. Time to disease progression or recurrence for participants with complete response (CR) from time of surgery (Cohort 2 only)

    Time frame: From time of surgery until end of treatment, up to a maximum of 36 months

  4. Number of participants who do not require surgery in participants with salvageable giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) (Cohort 2 only)

    Time frame: Up to 36 months

  5. Number of participants with surgically downstaging in participants with salvageable giant cell tumor of bone (GCTB) (Cohort 2 only)

    Time frame: Up to 36 months

  6. Change from baseline in bone turnover markers (urinary N-telopeptide [uNTX]/creatinine ratio)

    Time frame: Baseline to Month 36

  7. Change from baseline in severity of pain assessed by Brief Pain Inventory - Short Form (BPI-SF) score

    Time frame: Baseline to Month 36

    Pain severity will be assessed using Brief Pain Inventory - Short Form. The minimum score is 0 (no pain) and the maximum score is 10 (worst pain imaginable). The higher the score means a worse outcome of more pain.

  8. Number of participants who experience one or more treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)

    Time frame: Baseline to end of safety follow-up, up to approximately 37 months

  9. Number of participants who experience adverse events of special interest

    Time frame: Baseline to end of safety follow-up, up to approximately 37 months

    Adverse events of special interest include hypocalcemia, hypercalcemia following investigational product discontinuation, atypical femoral fracture, and osteonecrosis of the jaw.

  10. Serum XGEVA concentration levels

    Time frame: Up to 36 months
