What participants receive

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

  • Zolderonic acid (Zometa)Drug

What is being measured

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

  1. Bone mineral density of lumber spine

    Measured: 12 months after administration of zolderonic acid

  2. Bone mineral density of femoral neck

    Measured: 12 months after administration of zolderonic acid

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in serum creatinine, calcium, phosphate and alkaline phosphatase

    Measured: From time of enrollment to 3 months after the last intervention

  2. Change in creatinine clearance

    Measured: From time of enrollment to 3 months after the last intervention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Zolderonic acid (Zometa) in people with Prostatic Neoplasms and Bone Density, run by Hospital Authority, Hong Kong at 1 site in China.

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 1 inclusion and 5 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 23 Oct 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Bone mineral density of lumber spine (time frame: 12 months after administration of zolderonic acid). 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 23 Oct 2013.
