Purpose

RATIONALE: Zoledronate, clodronate, or ibandronate may delay or prevent bone metastases in patients with nonmetastatic breast cancer. It is not yet known whether zoledronate is more effective than clodronate or ibandronate in treating breast cancer.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying zoledronate to see how well it works compared to clodronate or ibandronate in treating women who have undergone surgery for stage I, stage II, or stage III breast cancer.

Primary Outcome Measures:

Histologic confirmation of disease recurrence [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Sites of first disease recurrence [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Disease-free survival [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Overall survival [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Zubrod performance status [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment:	4500
Study Start Date:	July 2005
Estimated Primary Completion Date:	December 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Arm I: Experimental Patients receive zoledronate IV over 15 minutes once a month for 6 months and then once every 3 months for 2.5 years.	Drug: zoledronic acid Given IV
Arm II: Active Comparator Patients receive oral clodronate once daily for 3 years.	Drug: clodronate disodium Given orally
Arm III: Experimental Patients receive oral ibandronate once daily for 3 years.	Drug: ibandronate sodium Given orally

Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

Compare disease-free survival and overall survival of women with resected primary stage I-III adenocarcinoma of the breast treated with adjuvant zoledronate vs clodronate vs ibandronate.
Compare the distributions of sites of first disease recurrence in patients treated with these drugs.
Compare adverse events in patients treated with these drugs.
Correlate parathyroid hormone related protein status and N-telopeptide levels at baseline with disease-free survival and sites of first recurrence in patients treated with these drugs.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are randomized to 1 of 3 treatment arms.

Arm I: Patients receive zoledronate IV over 15 minutes once a month for 6 months and then once every 3 months for 2.5 years.
Arm II: Patients receive oral clodronate once daily for 3 years.
Arm III: Patients receive oral ibandronate once daily for 3 years. Treatment in all arms continues in the absence of disease recurrence or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 6 months until disease recurrence and then annually for up to 10 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 4,500 will be accrued for this study.
