Osteonecrosis of the Jaw (ONJ) Case Registry
The purpose of the ONJ case registry is to describe the natural history of positively-adjudicated ONJ in subjects with cancer with an observation period of 5 years. Most of these subjects are expected to have received bone antiresorptive agents such as bisphosphonates or denosumab together with cancer-specific therapies (eg, chemotherapy, steroids, or anti-angiogenics). It is also possible that the registry will include subjects with cancer who developed ONJ without exposure to any antiresorptive therapy.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
327
Resolution rate and time to ONJ resolution
* Resolution: complete coverage of the exposed bone by mucosa in the absence of clinical symptoms * Improvement: a decrease in the stage or severity of the lesion * Progression: an increase in the stage or severity of the lesion * Stable: not resolved, improved, or progressed
Time frame: 5 years
The clinical features of ONJ, including severity and staging at enrollment
Time frame: 5 years
The frequency of risk factors for incident ONJ
Characterize the frequency of risk factors for incident ONJ such as a history of inflammatory dental disease (periodontal and dental abscesses), dentoalveolar procedures, smoking, use of antiangiogenic agents, and duration/dosing regimens of antiresorptive medications prior to the development of ONJ
Time frame: 5 years
Therapeutic treatment patterns for ONJ
Characterize treatment patterns of antiresorptive medications subsequent to incident ONJ such as the proportion of subjects who continue to be treated with antiresorptive medications by specific agents and ONJ severity and stage
Time frame: 5 years
Treatment patterns of antiresorptive agents subsequent to incident ONJ
Characterize subsequent treatment patterns for ONJ including antimicrobial oral rinses, antibiotics, and surgery
Time frame: 5 years
