Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Treatment, Randomized, Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Active Control, Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study
Official Title: Randomized, Double-Blind, Safety and Efficacy Trial With Intravenous Zoledronic Acid for the Treatment of Paget's Disease of Bone Using Risedronate as a Comparator

Further study details as provided by Novartis:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Demonstrate non-inferiority of zoledronic acid to risedronate with respect
  • to the proportion of patients who achieve therapeutic response.

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Assess the effects of intraveneous zoledronic acid 5.0 mg (once) and oral
  • risedronate 30 mg qd (2 months) in diminishing resorption bone markers.

Estimated Enrollment: 176
Study Start Date: April 2002
Estimated Study Completion Date: December 2009
Primary Completion Date: December 2003 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
1: Active Comparator Drug: zoledronic acid and placebo
2: Active Comparator Drug: risedronate and placebo

Detailed Description:

Efficacy: The primary efficacy variable was the proportion of patients who achieved therapeutic response. A therapeutic response was defined as a reduction of at least 75% from baseline in serum alkaline phosphatase (SAP) excess (difference between measured level and midpoint to the normal range) or normalization of SAP.

Safety: Safety assessments consisted of monitoring and recording all adverse events and serious adverse events, the regular monitoring of hematology, blood chemistry, serum PTH, and urinalysis, regular measurement of vital signs and the performance of physical examinations. Special safety evaluations included bone biopsies, and the assessment of renal abnormalities.
