Trial information
A Study of Bondronat (Ibandronate) in Patients With Malignant Bone Disease.
Status: Completed
Protocol number: ML20713
Sponsor: Roche Bulgaria EOOD
Company division: Pharmaceutical
Official Scientific Title: A randomized, open-label study of the effect of intravenous and oral Bondronat on the performance status of patients with malignant bone disease secondary to solid tumors and hematological malignancies
Brief summary: This study will assess the efficacy and safety of Bondronat, administered intravenously or orally, in patients with malignant bone disease and moderate to severe pain. Patients will be randomized to receive Bondronat either as a 6mg iv infusion every 3-4 weeks, or a 50mg tablet daily. Pain response and Karnofsky Performance Status will be measured at intervals throughout the study. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3-12 months and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals. Target sample size is 200.
Study phase: III
