About this study

Bone metastases are common in patients with advanced lung cancer and can have devastating consequences. Preventing or delaying bone metastases may improve outcomes. Bisphosphonates are inhibitors of osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. The current indications for bisphosphonates include the treatment of metabolic disorders of bone metabolism (e.g., osteoporosis and Paget's disease), the treatment of hypercalcaemia of malignancy (HCM), and the prevention of skeletal-related events(SREs)from malignant bone disease. Clinical trials also confirm that bisphosphonates, and zoledronic acid(ZOL) in particular, can prevent bone loss from cancer treatment.There is also emerging evidence that the benefits of bisphosphonate therapy in the oncology setting are more extensive. This study will evaluate whether the addition of ZOL 4 mg every 3 months for up to 1 years in patients with stage IIIB/IV lung cancer could reduce the rate of bone metastases ,improve progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival(OS), and delay time to bone metastases .

What participants receive

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

  • Zoledronic acidDrug

    Also called Zometa

    Zoledronic acid 4 mg in 5 mL concentrated solution prepared with 100 mL calcium free infusion solution (0.9 % sodium chloride)

Study groups in NCT02622607

Receives: Drug: Zoledronic acid
ControlNo interventionNo investigational treatment

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Bone Metastases at 12 Months

    Percentage of participants developing at least 1 bone metastasis, whether or not symptomatic. Bone scans were scheduled at screening and at 6-monthly intervals after study entry, or when symptoms suggested the presence of bone metastases. Positive bone scans required confirmation by x-ray, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or computed tomography (CT).

    Measured: Months 12

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Progression-Free Survival

    Progression-free survival is defined as the time from randomization to the date of the first documented progression or recurrence of disease or death from any cause. Time to disease progression (TTP) was assessed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guidelines with evaluations every 3 months.

    Measured: Up to 24 months

  2. Percentage of Participants With Overall Survival

    Measured: Months 6, 12, 18, and 24 ]

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Zoledronic acid in people with Lung Cancer, run by Tang-Du Hospital 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 7 inclusion and 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jul 2017. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact He-Long Zhang, M.D. (13519128910, zhanghelong@medmail.com.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of Participants With Bone Metastases at 12 Months (time frame: Months 12). 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 21 Jul 2017.
