- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Main Objective: To assess the efficacy of loading doses of ibandronic acid in patients with breast cancer and metastatic bone disease and moderate to severe bone pain. The main efficacy endpoint is bone pain response.;Secondary Objective: - Safety assessment will be based on the monitoring of clinical laboratory results <br> and on adverse event recording<br>- Mean Worst pain scale of the Brief Pain Inventory over the first 7 days<br>- Analgesic consumption expressed as opioid equivalents<br>- Karnofsky index;Primary end point(s): The main efficacy endpoint is bone pain response: 20% decrease in mean pain score over a 3-day period (day 5, 6, 7) compared to mean pain score over a 3-day period prior to baseline as determined by the Worst pain scale of the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), with no more than 50% increase in mean analgesic consumption over the same 3-day period compared to mean analgesic consumption over the 3-day period prior to baseline.
