Multiple myeloma is a disease of B-lymphocytes producing malignant plasma cells. Malignant plasma cells induce osteolytic lesions, which is characteristic for progression of multiple myeloma. It is the aim of this study to investigate whether zoledronic acid has an influence on the progression of multiple myeloma.
Condition | Intervention | Phase |

Multiple Myeloma Stage I |
Drug: Zoledronic acid |
Phase III |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Treatment, Randomized, Open Label, Placebo Control, Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study |
Official Title: | Therapy With Zoledronic Acid in Patients With Multiple Myeloma Stage I |
Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older |
Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria
Evidence of myeloma according to the criteria of the British Columbia Cancer Agency (for the diagnosis, 2 of the 3 criteria must be met):
Exclusion criteria:
A calculated creatinine clearance < 30 ml/minute. Creatinine clearance (CrCl) is calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault formula:
CrCl= [140-age (years)] x weight (kg) {x 0.85 for female patients} [72 x serum creatinine (mg/dL)]
Other protocol-defined inclusion and exclusion criteria may apply.
