E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To evaluate the effect of alendronate versus no treatment on bone mineral density (BMD) in the following 12 months after the denosumab and aromatase inhibitors (AI) discontinuation in low fracture risk (defined as a10-years predicted fracture risk < 20% for major osteoporotic fractures and < 3% for femur fractures according the FRAX algorithm) osteopenic women with post-menopausal non-metastatic hormonal receptor positive (HR+) breast cancer. |
Valutare l’effetto di alendronato rispetto a nessun trattamento sulla densità minerale ossea (Bone Mineral Density – BMD) nei 12 mesi successivi all’interruzione della terapia con denosumab e inibitori dell’aromatasi (Aromatase Inhibitors – AI) in donne a basso rischio di frattura (definito come un rischio previsto di frattura a 10 anni < 20% per fratture osteoporotiche maggiori e < 3% per fratture al femore secondo l’algoritmo FRAX) osteopeniche affette da carcinoma mammario post-menopausa non metastatico positivo per il recettore ormonale (HR+). |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
In low fracture risk osteopenic women with post-menopausal non-metastatic hormonal receptor positive (HR+) breast cancer, to evaluate the effect of alendronate versus no treatment: 1. on the turnover biomarkers in the following 3, 12 and 24 months after the denosumab and aromatase inhibitors (AI) discontinuation 2. on bone mineral density (BMD) at the end of 24 months of follow up after the denosumab and aromatase inhibitors (AI) discontinuation 3. on vertebral and non-vertebral fractures in the following two years after the denosumab and AI discontinuation 4. on morphometric vertebral fractures in the following 12 and 24 months after the denosumab and AI discontinuation in low fracture risk osteopenic women with post-menopausal breast cancer. 5. To monitor the adverse events/clinical in treated and untreated patients. |
In donne a basso rischio di frattura osteopeniche affette da carcinoma mammario post-menopausa non metastatico positivo per il recettore ormonale (HR+), valutare l’effetto di alendronato rispetto a nessun trattamento: 1. sui biomarker di turnover nei 3, 12 e 24 mesi successivi all’interruzione della terapia con denosumab e inibitori dell’aromatasi (AI) 2. sulla densità minerale ossea (BMD) al termine di 24 mesi di follow-up dopo l’interruzione della terapia con denosumab AI 3. sulle fratture vertebrali e non vertebrali nei due anni successivi all’interruzione della terapia con denosumab e AI 4. sulle fratture vertebrali morfometriche nei 12 e 24 mesi successivi all’interruzione della terapia con denosumab e AI in donne a basso rischio di frattura osteopeniche affette da carcinoma mammario post-menopausa 5. Monitorare gli eventi avversi/clinici nelle pazienti trattate e non trattate. |
