简要总结
The aim of this trial is to evaluate high-dose antiresorptive drug holiday related to tooth extraction with primary mucosal closure (surgical extraction) including how a drug holiday affects the health related quality of life.
Research question: Does a drug holiday have any influence on health related quality of life or the incidence of developing osteonecrosis of the jaw after surgical tooth extraction? The investigators hypothesize that a drug holiday 1 month before to 3 months after surgical tooth extraction in cancer patients do not influence the development of osteonecrosis of the jaw and may even affect the health related quality of life negatively.
详细描述
Osteonecrosis of the jaw is a known adverse reaction to antiresorptive medication, including bisphosphonate and denosumab. The globally accepted term is Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaws (MRONJ). Since 2003 there has been a worldwide focus at medication-related osteonecrosis, even though there still exist several of unanswered questions - one of them is the effect of a drug holiday in relation to tooth extraction. A drug holiday is a temporary discontinuation of a drug and has been suggested among risk reduction strategies in the literature. It is still unknown whether a drug holiday plays a significant role in relation to tooth extraction for the development of osteonecrosis. The investigators want to investigate the importance of an antiresorptive drug holiday (bisphosphonate, denosumab) in relation to tooth extraction.
The aim of this trial is therefore to clarify the meaning of high-dose antiresorptive drug holiday related to tooth extraction with primary mucosal closure in cancer patients and reveal how a drug holiday affects the health related quality of life. A continuation of the patients' antiresorptive treatment can possibly lead to increased risk of osteonecrosis of the jaw, but with the operation procedure with primary closure it is unlikely. It is beneficial for the cancer patients to continue the high dose antiresorptive therapy because a drug holiday is a stop in their anti-cancer treatment with risk of increased pain as well as unwanted skeletal events to occur, and potentially progress of metastases to follow.

盲法说明
The allocation of the patients is not known to the clinical investigator, the surgeon or the outcome assessor but to the patient's oncologic doctor and nurse, who are in charge of drug delivery, and a supervisor (Klaus Gotfredsen) not involved in any registrations or surgeries.
The participating patients will not be blinded. The patients do know which group they are randomized to and therefore do know if they are treated with or without drug holiday during the trial period (1+3 months). The patients are carefully instructed not to reveal which group they belong during the trial to the assessor.
Klaus Gotfredsen will make sure that the patients randomized to the intervention group will continue their antiresorptive therapy and the patients randomized to the control group will be treated with drug holiday this in close collaboration with the oncological departments. The medicine will be giving to the patient by the department's nurse.

结局指标
主要结局
Development of osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) or incomplete healing at 3 months follow-up
时间窗: 3 months follow-up
The outcome assessor has 3 options for registration related to ONJ occurrence: * Complete healing = mucosal covering = no sign of ONJ, defined as complete wound healing; Intact mucosa, that is total mucosal covering over the tooth extraction area. * Incomplete healing = presence of fibrin covering partly or over all mucosal operation area; Defined as the presence of fibrin at the surface of the operation area, thus still being a wound. * ONJ present, defined according to the AAOMS position paper 2014 (4), all three items have to be present: 1. Current or previous treatment with antiresorptive agents. 2. Exposed bone or bone that can be probed through an extraoral or intraoral fistula that has persisted for longer than 8 weeks. 3. No history of radiation therapy to the jaws or obvious metastatic disease to the jaws.
EQ-5D-5L: Change in patients health related quality of life from allocation/enrollment
时间窗: The patient will be asked to fulfill the EQ-5D-5L at allocation/enrollment and again at 1, 3 and 6 months follow-up.
The patients are given the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire. The 5-level EQ-5D version (EQ-%D-5L) was introduced by the EuroQol Group in 2009 and consists of two pages: the EQ-5D descriptive system and the EQ visual analogue scale (EQ VAS). The descriptive system comprises five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, serve problems and extreme problems. The digits for the five dimensions can be combined into a 5-digit number that describes the patient's health state. The Danish dataset (SPSS syntax crosswalk values EQ-5D-5L Denmark) will be used to analyze patients´ responses.
次要结局
- Pain from the jaw(This is asked prior to tooth extraction (time 0), at suture removal (time 10-14 days), at 1-month follow-up and at 3 and 6 months follow-up and is registered in the datasheet.)
- Incidence of unwanted skeletal events(Incidence (number of) unwanted skeletal events during the period and is registered at 3 and 6 months follow-up.)
- Progression of cancer disease(The patient will be weighted at baseline, time of tooth removal, 1 month follow-up, 3 and 6 months follow-up visit.)
