Design
Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive denosumab 120 mg or matching placebo subcutaneously (SC) every 4 weeks (Q4W; ± 7 days) for 6 months followed by denosumab 120 mg or matching placebo SC every 3 months (Q3M; i.e. every 12 weeks ± 14 days) for 4½ years (approximately 54 months), for a total treatment duration of 5 years (approximately 60 months).
Objectives
Primary: Tocompare the treatment effect of denosumab with that of placebo on prolonging bone metastasis-free survival (BMFS) in subjects with early-stage breast cancer at high risk of disease recurrence Secondary Objectives: To compare the treatment effect of denosumab with that of placebo on: Disease-free survival (DFS) Overall survival (OS) Distant recurrence-free survival (DRFS) Safety Objectives: Toassess the safety and tolerability of denosumab compared with placebo.
Endpoints
Primary:
BMFS (determined by the time from randomization to the first observation of bone metastasis or death from any cause)
Secondary:
DFS (determined by the time from randomization to the first observation of disease recurrence or death from any cause)
OS (determined by the time from randomization to death from any cause)
DRFS (determined by the time from randomization to the first observation of distant metastasis or death from any cause)
