A Phase I Pilot Trial to Study the Safety and Efficacy of Concomitant Radiotherapy and Zoledronic Acid for the Palliation of Bone Metastases From Breast Cancer, Prostate Cancer and Lung Cancer
In Brief
A Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating zoledronic acid for Bone Metastases and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 4 participants.
Detailed Summary
Zoledronic acid (Zometa) belongs to a class of drugs called bisphosphonates. Bisphosphonates are used in bone metastases to keep the cancerous lesion under control in the bone and to help prevent calcium level elevations in the blood. Cancer cell-culture studies at the Cleveland Clinic showed that zoledronic acid and radiation together have more cell killing effect than either one used alone. The purpose of this study is to monitor the healing of bone lesions when using zoledronic acid together with radiation treatment.
