In a recent study, Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor Kappa-B Ligand (RANKL) was found to be abundantly expressed in cells within diverse LCH lesions from adult patients, especially in inflammatory infiltrates, a finding in line with a previously reported high osteoprotegerin (OPG) and low RANKL levels in the serum of patients with or without bone involvement. RANKL expression was associated with concomitant p65 Nuclear Factor Kappa-B (NFκB) nuclear staining, the main downstream effector of RANKL signaling, suggesting that lesional cell activation may be triggered locally by RANKL. Combining the serum and the lesional results, it can be inferred that there is an ongoing process of countervailing OPG production against lesional RANKL, which could be one of the self defense mechanisms among LCH patients. Therefore, the use of denosumab seems a rational treatment option in LCH in order to support and enhance the defensive OPG action and hopefully control or even interrupt the lesional immunological process.\n\nThe primary study objective is to assess the therapeutic efficacy of denosumab 120 mg every 8 weeks (Q8W) sc in adult LCH patients.\n\nSecondary Objectives:\n\n1. To define an uniform treatment approach for LCH patients with mild symptoms and low risk disease.\n2. To explore the efficacy of denosumab 120 mg Q8W sc in reducing disease reactivations after treatment completion.\n3. To illustrate the safety profile of denosumab in LCH patients. The primary efficacy endpoint is defined as the percentage of patients with progression of disease at Month 8.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Adults (\\>18 years of age)\n* Definitive diagnosis of LCH \\[Based on clinic-pathological evidence with microscopic examination and at least one of the following immunological staining: Langerin (CD 207) positivity, Cluster of Differentiation 1a (CD1a) positivity, Presence of Birbeck granules on electronic microscopy\\]\n* Mild symptoms (symptoms of low intensity; no need for hospitalization) and low risk disease needing first line systemic therapy for LCH because of:\n\n * single system disease with multifocal lesions, or\n * single system disease with "special site" lesions (vertebral lesions with intraspinal extension, craniofacial bone lesions with soft tissue extension), or\n * multi-system disease without involvement of risk organs \\[hematopoietic system, spleen, liver, tumorous central nervous system (CNS)\\].\n* Have signed the informed consent form (consent should be taken before any study-specific procedure is performed).\n* A patient should undergo a PET-CT imaging test, in order for him to be deemed suitable for the study.
