Kurzbeschreibung/Zielsetzung

The GeparX study investigated whether denosumab as add-on treatment to nab-paclitaxel-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) with two different schedules (125mg/m² weekly vs. day 1, 8 q22) may increase pathological complete response (pCR) rate. The addition of denosumab to NACT did not improve pCR rates as recently published. In this study, we investigated whether RANK expression, as part of the denosumab target pathway, a) may retrospectively identify a subgroup of patients with additional clinical benefit of denosumab or b) may predict response to nab-paclitaxel NACT.
