Objectives Primary - Compare the efficacy of zoledronate vs ibandronate, in terms of preventing the occurrence of skeletal-related events (SRE) (e.g., fracture, spinal cord compression, radiotherapy or surgery for bone symptoms or events, or hypercalcemia ≥ grade 3), in women with stage IV breast cancer and bone metastases.
Secondary - Compare the change in patient-reported measures of pain and use of analgesics in patients treated with these drugs.
- Compare the time to first clinically apparent SRE in patients treated with these drugs.
- Compare the toxicity of these drugs.
- Compare the changes in performance status and overall survival of patients treated with these drugs.
Entry Criteria Disease Characteristics:
- Histologically confirmed stage IV breast cancer at primary diagnosis or at recurrence
- At least 1 dominant osteolytic or osteoblastic or mixed metastatic lesion outside any prior radiation field
- Lesion measures ≥ 1.0 cm by x-ray, CT scan, and/or MRI
- Controlled asymptomatic brain metastases allowed
- Controlled bone pain, defined as a physician/health care provider rating of ≤ grade 2 pain-SELECT (Bone) on the NCI CTC for Adverse Events Version 3.0 rating scale, required
- Current evidence of vertebral or nonvertebral fractures or spinal compression due to cancer, as determined by the treating physician, allowed
- No Paget's disease of the bone
- Estrogen receptor (ER) or progesterone receptor (PR) status known
Prior/Concurrent Therapy:
- See Disease Characteristics
- No prior bisphosphonates for metastatic bone disease
- More than 28 days since prior aminoglycoside antibiotics
- At least 28 days since prior oral bisphosphonates for osteoporosis
- More than 6 months since prior bisphosphonates used for adjuvant therapy
- Concurrent treatment, including chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, and/or biologic therapy for metastatic breast cancer allowed
- No concurrent participation in another clinical treatment trial for this cancer unless the patient is no longer receiving the intervention and is in the follow-up phase of the other clinical trial
Patient Characteristics:
- Female patient
- Menopausal status not specified
- Zubrod performance status 0-2
- Creatinine normal
- Creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min
- Serum calcium < 12 mg/dL
- Not pregnant or nursing
- Fertile patients must use effective contraception
- Must be able to receive IV medication and oral medication (i.e., must have physical integrity of the upper gastrointestinal tract)
- No malabsorption syndrome
- No primary hyperparathyroidism
- No known history of aspirin-sensitive asthma
- No other prior malignancy except for the following:
- Adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer
- In situ cervical cancer
- Adequately treated stage I or II cancer currently in complete remission
- Any other cancer for which the patient has been disease-free for at least 5 years
- No uncontrolled medical illness or infection, including, but not limited to, the following:
- Unstable angina
- Recent myocardial infarction
- Life-threatening cardiac arrhythmia
Expected Enrollment 488A total of 488 patients will be accrued for this study. Outcomes Primary Outcome(s)Skeletal-related events (SRE)
Secondary Outcome(s)Change in patient's rating of worst pain as measured by the Brief Pain Inventory Survival and time to first clinically apparent SRE Tolerability and toxicity as measured by NCI CTCAE v3.0 Changes in performance status
Outline This is a multicenter, randomized study. Patients are stratified according to hormone receptor status (estrogen receptor [ER] and progesterone receptor [PR] negative vs ER and/or PR positive) and current evidence of fracture (vertebral or nonvertebral) or spinal compression (yes vs no). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms. - Arm I: Patients receive oral ibandronate once daily on days 1-28.
- Arm II: Patients receive zoledronate IV over 15 minutes on day 1.
In both arms, treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 18 courses in the absence of unacceptable toxicity. Quality of life and pain are assessed at baseline, every 3 courses during study treatment, and at the end of study treatment. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for up to 3 years.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol. Back to Top |
