Brief Summary

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

An open, multicenter and prospective study to evaluate the impact of the treatment with zoledronic acid 4 mg, on the quality of life and the skeletal-related events in patients with prostate cancer and bone metastasis that responds to hormonal therapy. Zoledronic acid is given to patients in a 15 minute-infusion every 4 weeks until a skeletal-related event occurs.
