Registration Number
NCT00265200
Lead Sponsor
University of Louisville
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new blood test as a way to follow the effect of Zometa in treating bone metastases due to lung cancer.

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.
