Study Type:   Interventional
Study Design:   Diagnostic, Non-Randomized, Open Label, Uncontrolled, Single Group Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study
Official Title:   Bone Metabolic Markers, TRAP, and Zometa's Effect on Bone Metastasis Due to Lung Cancer

Further study details as provided by James Graham Brown Cancer Center:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Blood specimens to measure TRAP level [ Time Frame: baseline, every 2 weeks for 6 weeks after the first Zometa infusion, then monthly until progression of bone metastatic disease ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Brief Pain Questionnaire to evaluate subject's pain [ Time Frame: at baseline, and months 2, 4, 6 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Bone imaging tests (bone scan, PET scan, MRI, and/or x-ray) will be done to measure progression of bone metastasis [ Time Frame: at baseline and 4 months after first Zometa infusion ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment:   40
Study Start Date:   February 2005
Estimated Study Completion Date:   June 2009
Estimated Primary Completion Date:   December 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Intervention Details:
    Drug: zoledronic acid
    3.0-4.0 mg by IV (in the vein), once a month for 6 months
Detailed Description:

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate a new blood test as a way to follow the effect of Zometa in treating bone metastases. The blood test will look for a protein, called TRAP, which is released into the blood stream by the breakdown of bone. This study will compare the TRAP blood test with other blood tests for bone destruction.
