Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this prospective, randomized, open-label, multicentric clinical study is to assess the effícacy and tolerability of zoledronic acid 4 mg IV infused over 15 minutes every 4 weeks for a total of 6 infusions, in combination with standard or reduced dose radiotherapy in patients with breast cancer and metastatic bone disease associated with pain.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Female patients aged ≥ 18 years.
* Histologically confirmed diagnosis of breast cancer with at least one bone metastases.
* Radiologically documented solitary or multiple osteolytic or osteoblastic lesions in axial skeleton or in the extremities in which radiotherapy is indicated.
* Pain and/or analgesic score ≥ 3 (see section 3.5.2) at the bone site to be irradiated.
* ECOG performance status ≤ 2.
* Life expectancy more than 6 months.

Exclusion Criteria

* Patients in whom the target lesion(s) is not detectable by conventional techniques (i.e. X-rays MRI or CT scan).
* Presence of pathological fracture in the target lesion(s).
* Prior irradiation of the painful area(s) to be irradiated.
* Known hypersensitivity to zoledronic acid or other biphosphonates.
* Previous treatment with bisphosphonates for the current disease; any treatment with biphosphonates for other indications should anyway have been discontinued at least two years before randomization into the study.
* Skeleton-related complications (e.g., pathological fractures, orthopedic intervention to treat or stabilize an osteolytic defect, spinal cord compression) during the last 3 weeks prior to the first infusion of trial medication.
* Change in anticancer therapy within the 2 weeks prior to screening assessments and/or test treatment start.
* Patients with severe renal function (serum creatinine \> 400 umol/l or \> 4.5 mg/dl or calculated creatinine clearance ≤ 30 ml/minute) or with prior renal transplantation. Creatinine clearance will be calculated using the following formula:

Creatinine clearance = (140-age\[yr\])(body weight \[kg\]) x 0.85 (72) (serum creatinine \[mg/dL\]) or Creatinine clearance = (140-age\[yr\])(body weight \[kg\]) x 0.85 (0.814) (serum creatinine \[µmol/L\])

* Corrected (adjusted for serum albumin) serum calcium concentration \< 8.0 mg/dl (2.00 mmol/L).
* Patients with clinically symptomatic brain metastases
* Bone metabolism disorder, e.g. Paget disease, primary hyperparathyroidism
* Serious intercurrent illness other than breast cancer that can interfere with the evaluation of the effect of the therapy.
* Pregnancy and lactation.
* Women of childbearing potential not on an effective form of contraception.
* Known history or present abuse of alcohol or drugs (accepted social alcohol usage will not exclude the patient)
* Patients who, in the opinion of the investigator, are unlikely to cooperate fully during the study.
