Loading Dose or Standard Dose of Intravenous Ibandronate in Treating Patients With Lung Cancer and Skeletal Metastasis

Phase 4
Terminated
Conditions
Lung Cancer
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT00492843
Lead Sponsor
Chinese Society of Lung Cancer
Brief Summary

The objective of this trial is to assess the efficacy and safety of loading doses versus standard dose of intravenous Bondronat in reducing pain in patients with lung cancer and bone metastatic disease.

Detailed Description

Patients with lung cancer and bone metastatic disease may experience moderate or severe bone pain. Some researches have reported that loading doses Bondronat (6mg Bondronat on three consecutive days) had great efficacy in reducing pain in patients with malignant bone disease without unacceptable toxicities. So,we designed this clinical trial to compare the efficacy and safety profiles between loading doses Bondronat and standard dose Bondronat.Enrolled patients will receive an intravenous infusion of either 6mg Bondronat on three consecutive days or 6mg Bondronat on one day. The targeted sample size is 120 individuals. Primary outcome measures will be bone pain response ( ≥ 25% decrease in mean pain score with a maximum of 15% increase in mean analgesic consumption). Secondary outcome measures will be efficacy including ECOG Performance status, analgesic consumption, bone markers, and safety profiles including AE and laboratory parameters.

  • Patients with known hypersensitivity to any of the components of ibandronic acid
  • Patients who are pregnant or lactating
  • Radiotherapy to bone within the 28 days prior inclusion or during the trial duration
  • Patient who are currently treated with any other investigational therapy or have received it within 30 days of the first schedule day of dosing
