RATIONALE: It is not yet known whether zoledronate is effective in preventing bone loss in premenopausal women who are receiving adjuvant chemotherapy after undergoing surgery for early stage breast cancer.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to determine the effectiveness of zoledronate in preventing bone loss in premenopausal women who are receiving chemotherapy after surgery for early stage breast cancer.
OBJECTIVES:
OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to estrogen receptor status (positive vs negative), progesterone receptor status (positive vs negative), and adjuvant chemotherapy regimen. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
Quality of life is assessed at baseline and at 6 and 12 months.
Patients are followed at 1 year.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 120 patients (60 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study.
12,544 studies on the registry are indexed under Breast Neoplasms; 2,892 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 120 is above the median of 72 across 9,303 interventional studies indexed under Breast Neoplasms.
