What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Reclast (ZOL446, zoledronic acid)Drug

    Also called Reclast, ZOL446

    5 mg i.v. annually ("real-life, physician prescribed")

  • CalciumDietary supplement

    1500 mg elemental calcium daily in divided doses (the divided doses were 2-3 times per day depending on the formulation)

  • Vitamin DDietary supplement

    800 IU vitamin D daily, particularly in the immediate 2 weeks following zoledronic acid administration

Study groups in NCT00668200
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
zoledronic acidOther5 mg of Reclast (ZOL446, zoledronic acid) injection in 100 mL ready to infuse solution administered intravenously via a vented line. The infusion time was to be not less than 15 minutes given over a constant infusion rate.
Receives: Drug: Reclast (ZOL446, zoledronic acid); Dietary Supplement: Calcium; Dietary Supplement: Vitamin D

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of Patients With Serum Calcium <2.07 mmol/L at 9-11 Days After Receiving Zoledronic Acid.

    To be included in the analysis, patients were required to have a baseline serum calcium of at least 2.07 mmol/L and at least one serum calcium measurement 9-11 days post-infusion of zoledronic acid. In case of multiple assessments, for baseline visit the last measurement prior to the first dose was used in the analysis, and for Visits 2 and 3, the lowest serum calcium in the visit window was used. hypocalcemia was defined as treatment-emergent serum calcium <2.07 mmol/L at 9-11 days after the study drug infusion.

    Measured: at Visit 2 (days 9 - 11 post-infusion), visit 3 (day 30)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change From Baseline in Serum Calcium (mmol/L) - Safety Population

    Change from baseline = endpoint - baseline, at each time point, only participants with a value at baseline and that time point are included in the change from baseline column. In case of multiple assessments, for baseline visit the last measurement prior to the first dose was used in the analysis, and for Visits 2 and 3, the lowest serum calcium in the visit window was used.

    Measured: Baseline, Visit 2 (days 9 - 11 post-infusion), visit 3 (day 30)

  2. Percentage of Newly Occurring Post-baseline Hypocalcemia Symptoms Based on Hypocalcemia Questionnaire at End of Study Visit 2 or Visit 3 (Safety Population)

    The end of study is not a separate time point. It is the last post-baseline, for majority the end of study was visit 2. There were 2 patients who had the end of study at Visit 3. If calcium at visit 2 was abnormal it was measured again at visit 3.

    Measured: End of study: Visit 2 (days 9 - 11 post-infusion) or visit 3 (day 30)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Reclast (ZOL446, zoledronic acid), Calcium and Vitamin D in people with Paget's Disease of the Bone and Hypocalcemia, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 9 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Mar 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 Mar 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of Patients With Serum Calcium <2.07 mmol/L at 9-11 Days After Receiving Zoledronic Acid. (time frame: at Visit 2 (days 9 - 11 post-infusion), visit 3 (day 30)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Mar 2015.
