Children treated by bone marrow transplantation (BMT) experience bone toxicity. Those bone damages are caused by both a decrease of bone formation and an increase of bone destruction after BMT.For long term survivors, bone complications are major determinants of impaired quality of life. No standard treatment currently exists to prevent those bone injuries. Denosumab is a treatment which specifically blocks bone destruction for 4 to 6 months in adults. This trial will study whether it is safe to prescribe Denosumab to children after BMT in the aim of preventing bone complications.
Participant will receive one subcutaneous dose of Denosumab within 2 weeks after confirmation of bone marrow engraftment. The dose of treatment will be escalated between participants. Denosumab is supposed to be effective for several months (4 to 6 months). The biologic activity of Denosumab will be followed by the measure in the blood of a biomarker of bone destruction called CTX. This biomarker is supposed to decrease after Denosumab infusion, reflecting the blockade of bone destruction by the treatment. Bone density will be assessed by a radiologic test named DXA which a standard test. All blood and radiologic tests mandated by the study will be done at the same time as standard follow-up after bone marrow transplant. Thus, participants will not have extra visits at the outpatient clinic, or extra blood punctures, for the specific purpose of the study. Participants will be followed for 36 months after bone marrow transplantation.For experiencing graft versus host disease, a second dose of Denosumab will be allowed, followed by subsequent doses evry 4 to 6 months till a maximum of 4 doses within 24months after bone marrow transplantation.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Denosumab | Experimental | Phase 1, 3+3 design with inter-patient dose escalation from 1mg/kg/dose to 2mg/kg/dose, and possibility of a dose de-escalation of 0.5mg/kg/dose, A modification of 3+3 design is implemented to take into account the achievement of bone resorption blockade by Denosumab. CTX is a biologic marker of bone resorption. Provided a decrease of CTX blood level will be observed under the lower limit (2,5th percentile) for age and sex, or under 20% of the pre-treatment level, there will be no reason to continue escalating the dose. This modified 3+3 design prevents exposure of children to dose escalations that would not be needed regarding the medical and biological aims of this trial. |

| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Denosumab | Drug | Denosumab, one sub-cutaneous infusion, given within 2 weeks after engraftment defined as neutrophils > 0,5x10(9)/L and chimerism ≥ 10% of donor origin. Before starting Denosumab several requirements have to be met: 1) Calcemia and Phosphatemia in the normal ranges, 2) adequate Calcium and Vitamin D intakes according to age. Biological activity of Denosumab measured by CTX blood level, expected to last for 4 to 6 months after one infusion. Possibility of subsequent infusions at the same dose level, every 5 to 6 months, for patient remaining on corticotherapy, provided no DLT occurred and provided CTX blood level decreased under the required threshold, after the previous infusions of Denosumab |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum Tolerable Dose (MTD) | The MTD is defined as:
| MTD will be definitively established at 6 months after the last patient has been entered into the study. Given the anticipated rate of accrual, the primary outcome measure should be determined within 2 years after opening the study. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Evolution of CTX (a biological marker of bone resorption) level in blood | Duration of CTX level in blood on Denosumab treatment under the lower limit for age and sex, or less than 20% of the value before starting the conditioning regimen | Dosage before transplantation, before beginning Denosumab, then monthly till 6 months, then at 12 months, 18 months, 24 and 36 months after starting Denosumab |
