Study summary

This 2 arm study will compare the efficacy of a regimen of intravenous (iv) and oral Bondronat with that of zoledronic acid in patients with malignant bone disease experiencing moderate to severe pain. Patients will be randomized to receive either Bondronat (6mg iv on days 1, 2 and 3 followed by Bondronat 5Omg po daily from day 22 to week 24) or zoledronic acid (4mg iv on day 1, and then every 3-4 weeks). The anticipated time of study treatment is 6-12 months, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.
