Drug Details
Denosumab, marketed as Xgeva, is a medication used to address bone-related issues in individuals with certain cancers. It is specifically effective for those with multiple myeloma or cancers like breast and prostate cancer that have metastasized to the bones. Additionally, it helps manage high calcium levels in the blood caused by cancer, a condition known as hypercalcemia of malignancy. For patients with giant cell tumor of the bone who are ineligible for surgical treatment, denosumab can also be beneficial. As a RANKL inhibitor, denosumab functions by blocking the RANKL protein, which in turn prevents osteoclasts—cells responsible for bone breakdown—from functioning. This action helps maintain bone strength and integrity. Administered as a subcutaneous injection typically once a month by a healthcare professional, denosumab is generally well-tolerated, though some individuals may experience side effects such as fatigue and nausea.
