- 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.
