Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to examine for changes in the bone scan after treating with zoledronic acid (Zometa™). This study is designed to show if intravenous (IV) bisphosphonates, which are infused by vein, such as pamidronate (Aredia™) or zoledronic acid (Zometa™), cause changes in the result of bone scans in… Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 110 years
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients receiving intravenous biphosphonate therapy (zoledronic acid 4 mg or renal dose equivalent) as part of their treatment regimen, who are diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer involving surrounding bone.
  • Patients must have had prior treatment zoledronic acid (4 mg or adjusted dose for renal function) within 8 weeks.
  • The patients clinical status as assessed by a treating physician must be deemed appropriate for continuing treatment with zoledronic acid
  • The patient's clinical status, as assessed by a treating physician, must be deemed appropriate for an evaluation with a bone scan
  • The patient's medical status as assessed by a treating physician must be medically appropriate to receive zoledronic acid within the study time frame and in association with the study bone scan

Who cannot join

  • No evidence of bone metastases, or less than 3 osseous lesions felt to be consistent with bone metastases, on most recent bone scan performed for clinical indications prior to study entry.
  • Patients with illnesses, or conditions that would prevent them from understanding the nature of the study and complying with the protocol requirements

About this study

The purpose of this study is to examine for changes in the bone scan after treating with zoledronic acid (Zometa™). This study is designed to show if intravenous (IV) bisphosphonates, which are infused by vein, such as pamidronate (Aredia™) or zoledronic acid (Zometa™), cause changes in the result of bone scans in women with metastatic breast cancer. Both bone scans and the IV bisphosphonates are components of routine care of women with breast cancer that has spread to the bone.

Read the detailed description

Presently, intravenous bisphosphonates are routinely used every 3 to 4 weeks in patients with osseous metastases from breast cancer. However, there is no data addressing the effects of intravenous bisphosphonate therapy on the results of bone scan imaging. Therefore, the first step in the collaboration between MSKCC Breast Cancer Medicine Service and Nuclear Medicine Service is to define whether or not intravenous bisphosphonate therapy affects the results of bone imaging with the standard technetium, Tc-99m MDP. Women receiving intravenous bisphosphonate therapy for breast cancer metastases involving bone at MSKCC are eligible for this diagnostic clinical is no therapeutic intent in this study.

Bone Scan performed before intravenous bisphosphonate therapy (baseline as clinically indicated). Ideally, the bone scan will be performed immediately before to, bisphosphonate therapy.

Zoledronic acid, intravenous bisphosphonate therapy (as clinically indicated)

Bone Scan performed within 1 day after intravenous bisphosphonate therapy (study test).

Number of lesions seen in the baseline and study test will be counted and compared for changes in imaging results induced by intravenous bisphosphonate therapy.

The number of lesions detected by bone scan pre and post therapy will be recorded and the difference will be calculated.

What participants receive

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

  • Zometa™Radiation

    Also called Zoledronic acid

    Patients who will be receiving zoledronic acid therapy and are scheduled for an extent of disease evaluation with bone scan would undergo a second bone scan within 1 day of zoledronic acid therapy to assess changes in imaging.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluate whether routine clinical use of intravenous zoledronic acid therapy affects technetium methylidene diphosphonate (Tc-99 MDP) uptake in bone metastases.

    Measured: January 2009

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Zometa™ in people with Osseous Lesions From Metastatic Breast Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 1 site 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 5 inclusion and 2 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 24 Dec 2015. 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 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

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?

Evaluate whether routine clinical use of intravenous zoledronic acid therapy affects technetium methylidene diphosphonate (Tc-99 MDP) uptake in bone metastases. (time frame: January 2009). 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 24 Dec 2015.
