This study will assess the safety and tolerability of denosumab in smoldering multiple myeloma subjects as well to see if denosumab can reduce subjects' risk of getting multiple myeloma.
This is an open label, Phase II trial of denosumab 120mg subcutaneous (SC) for patients with smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM). Subjects will be recruited from the James P. Wilmot Cancer Center, University of Rochester in Rochester, New York. Patients seen in the inpatient or outpatient setting with histologically confirmed SMM will be evaluated for this study. 20 patients will be treated as follows: Denosumab: day 1 = 120mg SC every 4 weeks for 12 cycles. Cycles will be 28 days in length. Patients will be followed after completion of the study per standard of care for progression free survival for an additional 2 years after the last dose of denosumab. All patients will take daily vitamin D and calcium supplements of at least 1200mg elemental calcium and 800IU of vitamin D unless documented hypercalcemia develops on study. Pre-existing hypocalcemia must be corrected prior to initiating therapy with denosumab. Serum vitamin D levels will be checked during screening and should be repleted to a total 25-hydroxyvitamin D level ≥30ng/mL.

Proportion of Subjects With a Downgraded Risk of Progression of Smoldering Multiple Myeloma if the Risk Category Decreases.
Risk Categories: Low Risk:Patient has SMM, but none of the listed risk factors Low-Intermediate Risk: 1 risk factor is present High-Intermediate Risk: 2 risk factors are present High Risk: 3 risk factors are present Risk Factors: 1. BM plasma cell % ≥50 2. M-protein ≥ 3g/dL 3. Involved/ un-involved free light chains ≥ 8
Time frame: 1 year
Proportion of Participants With Skeletal Related Events
Skeletal related events were defined as pathological fractures, radiation to bone, surgery to bone, or fractures requiring stabilization, confirmed by imaging. Participants were counted once if they experienced at least one skeletal related event during the 1 year follow up period.
Time frame: 1 year
Proportion of Participants With Progression to Multiple Myeloma
Progression to multiple myeloma was assessed according to International Myeloma Working Group criteria during the 1 year follow up period following treatment initiation.
Time frame: 1 year
Proportion of Participants With Progression Free Survival at 3 Years
Progression free survival was defined as the absence of disease progression or death from any cause at the 3 year assessment time point.
Time frame: 3 years
Proportion of Participants With Change in Bone Mineral Density From Screening to 1 Year
Bone mineral density was assessed using dual energy X ray absorptiometry scans at screening and approximately 1 year after treatment initiation. Participants with evaluable scans within the protocol specified assessment window were included in the analysis.
Time frame: 1 year
