- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Pain response at 4 and 12 weeks post treatment. Formal definition of response includes pain score and analgesic use to achieve complete or partial response.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <br> Quality of life and bone morbidity events including retreatment for bone pain, pathological fracture and spinal cord compression.<br><br> In addition, osteoclast activity will be measured using the urinary markers pyridinoline and deoxypyridinoline, and the relation of changing levels after treatment with response will be explored.<br>
