Objectives Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary malignant bone tumour, and mainly affects adolescents and young adults. Although there has been substantial improvement in management of OS with surgery and chemotherapy, further survival increase has not been achieved over the past two decades.Methods We focused on the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL) osteoclast (OCL) system as a biological target for OS. RANKL is a critical factor for OCL formation and bone resorption activity. The primary lesion in bone and ensuing metastasis in OS both require the induction of OCLs. RANK-Fc is a potent RANKL antagonist and inhibitor of OCL formation and activity.Key findings In an orthotopic model in Balb/c nu/nu mice, a twice weekly dosing regimen of 350 mu g of RANK-Fc per mouse subcutaneously (n = 5) reduced lung metastasis (P>0.05), preserved bone structure and reduced tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)(+) OCLs (P
