  Purpose

The primary objective of this study is to determine whether zoledronic acid (Zometa) given once annually increases bone mineral density in men receiving hormone therapy for prostate cancer.

Further study details as provided by Massachusetts General Hospital:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • To compare change in bone mineral density from baseline to one year between men treated with Zometa (zoledronic acid) and men treated with placebo. [ Time Frame: 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • To compare changes in biochemical markers of bone turnover between men treated with zoledronic acid and men treated with placebo [ Time Frame: 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • to assess the safety and tolerability of zoledronic acid. [ Time Frame: 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Enrollment: 60
Study Start Date: September 2003
Primary Completion Date: February 2006 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Group 1 Drug: Zoledronic acid
Given intravenously once.
Other Name: Zometa
Placebo Comparator: Group 2 Other: Placebo
Given intravenously once.

Detailed Description:
  • Patients will be randomized into 2 groups. At the screening visit, a bone mineral density test will be performed to determine if the patient has osteoporosis or not. Patients with osteoporosis will be treated with Zometa. Patients without osteoporosis will be randomly assigned to receive either Zometa or a placebo.
  • Zometa is administered intravenously over a 15 minute prior once in this one year study.
  • All patients will asked to take an over-the-counter oral calcium (500mg daily) and a daily multi-vitamin (containing 400-500 I.U of vitamin D) during the study.
  • All patients will have clinic visits every 3 months for blood tests and to report any side effects they may be experiencing. At month 12, a bone mineral density test will be repeated.
