  2. Giant Cell Tumor of Bone (GCTB) • Aggressive, primary osteolytic tumor • Causes local pain and impairs mobility and function1 • No approved or effective medical therapy • Surgical intervention often associated with significant morbidity2 • Mendenhall WM et al. Am J Clin Oncol. 2006;29:96–9. • Balke M et al. J Cancer Res Clin Oncol. 2009;135:149–58.

  3. RANK and RANKL in Giant Cell Tumor of Bone • Tumors contain osteoclast-like giant cells expressing RANK and stromal cells expressing RANK ligand (RANKL), a key mediator of osteoclast formation, activation, function, and survival.1-4 • Excessive RANKL secretion causes an imbalance in bone remodeling in favor of bone breakdown.5-7 RANK expression in GCTB8 1.

  5. Denosumab in Giant Cell Tumor of Bone • Fully human monoclonal antibody that binds to RANKL1 • Inhibits osteoclast-mediated bone destruction • Initial open-label, proof-of-concept, phase 2 study of denosumab in GCTB (N = 37):2 • Tumor response in 86% of patients with GCTB • Clinical benefit in 84% of patients (reduced pain or improvement in functional status per investigator) • No serious treatment-related adverse events • Bekker PJ et al. J Bone Miner Res. 2004;19:1059–66. • Thomas D et al. Lancet Oncol. 2010;11:275–80.

  6. Phase 2 Follow-on Study: Interim Analysis Day Month 1 8 15 2 3 4 5 6 Months 7– N Denosumab 120 mg sc Adults or skeletally mature adolescents with GCTB • Cohort 2: Salvageable GCTB, surgery planned • Safety • Surgery: delay, avoidance, or reduced morbidity • Cohort 1: Surgically unsalvageable GCTB • Safety • Disease progression (investigators’ assessment) SC: subcutaneous

  7. ResultsSubject Demographics and Disease Characteristics N = All enrolled subjects

  8. Safety ResultsDenosumab Exposure and Adverse Events * N = number of subjects who received at least 1 dose of denosumab

  9. Efficacy Response per Investigator AssessmentNo Disease Progression in the Majority of Subjects Cohort 1: Surgically Unsalvageable N = 73* Cohort 2: Salvageable, Surgery Planned N = 23* 38 (52%) 1 (1%) 2 (3%) * N = the number of subjects who received denosumab, had the opportunity to be on study for ≥6 months, and had disease progression data at the time of analysis. The disease response data analysis was based on the best response reported during the assessment period.

  10. Efficacy: Cohort 2At 12 Months, Most Subjects in Cohort 2 Had No Surgery or a Less Morbid Surgical Procedure Than Planned * In order from most morbid to least morbid † Other planned skeletal procedures included replacement of proximal tibia, sacral lesion/bone resection, and pelvic resection (1 each).

  14. Summary • Denosumab was well tolerated by these subjects with GCTB; no new risks were observed in this population • ONJ, a known risk with denosumab, was observed at a low rate consistent with that seen in other studies • Disease progression was halted in 99% of subjects • Of 23 subjects for whom surgery was planned: • 15 had no surgery • 8 had less morbid surgeries than planned • This study is ongoing; denosumab continues to be studied as a potential treatment for GCTB
