Objectives

Primary

  1. Compare pain response at 4 and 12 weeks post-treatment in patients with localized metastatic bone pain treated with single-dose ibandronate vs single-dose local radiotherapy .

Secondary

  1. Compare the quality of life of patients treated with these regimens.
  2. Correlate urinary markers of osteoclast activity (pyridinoline and deoxypyridinoline) with the clinical outcome of patients treated with these regimens.

Expected Enrollment

580

A total of 470 patients (235 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study.

Outline

This is a randomized, open-label, crossover, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to primary tumor type and participating center. Patients are randomized into 1 of 2 treatment arms.

  • Arm I: Patients receive a single dose of local radiotherapy to the site of pain (8Gy/1f).


  • Arm II: Patients receive a single dose of ibandronate IV over 15 minutes.


Patients who do not achieve a partial or complete response at 4 weeks crossover to the alternate arm.

Quality of life is assessed at baseline and then at 4 and 12 weeks. Pain is assessed at baseline, at 4, 8, and 12 weeks, and then at 6 months.

Patients are followed at 4, 8, and 12 weeks and then at 6 and 12 months.

Registry Information
Official Title A Multicentre Randomised Trial Of Single Dose Radiotherapy Compared To Ibandronate For Localised Metastatic Bone Pain
Trial Start Date 2003-04-01
Registered in ClinicalTrials.gov NCT00082927
Date Submitted to PDQ 2004-03-11
Information Last Verified 2007-03-28

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
