About this study

Official title: A Multicenter,Open Label, Randomized Trial Evaluating the Duration of Infusion of Zoledronic Acid 4 mg IV in Multiple Myeloma Patients With Bone Metastases

The purpose of this trial is to study the safety of treating patients with multiple myeloma and at least one bone lesion with zoledronic acid 4mg intravenously (IV) every 3 - 4 weeks for 2 years. Patients will receive a zoledronic acid infusion for 15 minutes or 30 minutes.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • zoledronic acidDrug

    Also called ZOMETA®

    4 mg zoledronic acid in 250 mL of calcium-free solution (i.e., 0.9% sodium chloride or 5% glucose) administered intravenously.

Study groups in NCT00104104
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
15 Minute InfusionExperimentalParticipants received 4 mg zoledronic acid intravenously, in 250 mL of fluid, every 3-4 weeks for up to 24 months, over a 15-minute infusion time, but increasing to a 30-minute infusion time if they experienced a clinically relevant rise in serum creatinine that resolved in less than 12 weeks
Receives: Drug: zoledronic acid
30 Minute InfusionExperimentalParticipants received 4 mg zoledronic acid intravenously, in 250 mL of fluid, every 3-4 weeks for up to 24 months, over a 30-minute infusion time, but increasing to a 45-minute infusion time if they experienced a clinically relevant rise in serum creatinine that resolved in less than 12-weeks.
Receives: Drug: zoledronic acid

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The Number of Participants With a Significant Increase in Serum Creatinine at 12 Months

    The primary renal safety endpoint was the number of participants with a clinically relevant increase in serum creatinine at 12 months. Serum creatinine was determined prior to each zoledronic acid infusion for all Participants and was considered to be significantly increased if there was an increase of 0.5 mg/dL or more or a doubling of the baseline serum creatinine value.

    Measured: Baseline and 12 Months

  2. The Number of Participants With Disease Progression

    Measured: 24 Months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. The Number of Participants With a Significant Increase in Serum Creatinine at 24 Months

    Serum Creatinine was considered to be significantly increased if there was an increase of 0.5 mg/dL or more or a doubling of the baseline serum creatinine value.

    Measured: Baseline and 24 Months

  2. Time to First Significant Increase in Serum Creatinine

    Median time to event in participants who had a clinically relevant increase in serum creatinine.

    Measured: Up to 24 months

  3. Zoledronic Acid Concentrations

    Samples for drug concentration analysis were drawn at 10 and 15 minutes into the infusion for participants in the 15-minute infusion group and at 25 and 30 minutes into the infusion for patients in the 30-minute infusion group. The mean and median zoledronic acid concentrations were greater in the 15-minute group than in the 30-minute group at both sampling timepoints.

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing zoledronic acid in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 68 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jun 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 68 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Jun 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The Number of Participants With a Significant Increase in Serum Creatinine at 12 Months (time frame: Baseline and 12 Months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Jun 2011.
