Scientific titleEffect of an annual infusion of zoledronate on bone mineral density in patients on long term follow up with cancer remission and anti-neoplastic treatment induced bone loss study
Study acronymAnnual zoledronate
Study objectivesNo previous study has been carried out in men and women in long term remission from cancers such as breast cancer, lymphoma and testicular cancer with treatment induced osteopenia or osteoporosis. The aim of the proposed study was to determine whether in such patients, an annual 4 mg dose of intraveous (IV) zoledronic acid results in significant increase in bone mineral density (BMD) measured one year later. Further more to assess whether any benefit obtained in such patients is maintained.
Ethics approval(s)South Sheffield LREC approved on the 3rd September 2001 (ref: SSLREC/01/113)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedTopic: National Cancer Research Network; Subtopic: All Cancers/Misc Sites; Disease: Breast, Colon, Lymphoma (Hodgkin's), Lymphoma (non-Hodgkin's), Testis, Melanoma
InterventionZoledronic acid 4 mg intravenously once a year. DEXA scans at baseline, 1, and 2 years of lumbar spine and hip
