Zoledronate on bone mineral density in patients with cancer remission and anti-neoplastic treatment induced bone loss
ISRCTN ISRCTN36205515
ClinicalTrials.gov identifier
Public title Zoledronate on bone mineral density in patients with cancer remission and anti-neoplastic treatment induced bone loss
Scientific title Effect of an annual infusion of zoledronate on bone mineral density in patients on long term follow up with cancer remission and anti-neoplastic treatment induced bone loss study
Acronym Annual zoledronate
Serial number at source 1195
Study hypothesis No previous study has been carried out in men and women in long term remission from cancers such as breast cancer, lymphoma and testicular cancer with treatment induced osteopenia or osteoporosis. The aim of the proposed study was to determine whether in such patients, an annual 4 mg dose of intraveous (IV) zoledronic acid results in significant increase in bone mineral density (BMD) measured one year later. Further more to assess whether any benefit obtained in such patients is maintained.
