About this study

Official title: Randomized, Open Label Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of the Intravenous and Oral Ibandronic Acid for Improving the Performance Status of Patients With Malignant Bone Disease Secondary to Solid Tumors and Hematological Malignancies

This study will assess the efficacy and safety of ibandronate (Bondronat), administered intravenously (IV) or orally (PO), in participants with malignant bone disease and moderate to severe pain. Participants will be randomized to receive ibandronate either as a 6-mg IV infusion every 3 to 4 weeks or a 50-mg tablet PO daily. Pain response and Karnofsky Performance Index (KPI) will be measured at intervals throughout the study. The anticipated time on study treatment is 4 months and the target sample size is 150 individuals.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Ibandronate in people with Pain; Bone Neoplasms; Neoplasm Metastasis, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 9 sites in Bulgaria.

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 4 inclusion and 3 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 2 Nov 2016. 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 Bulgaria. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Response rate according to reduction in BPI most acute pain score from Baseline (time frame: Month 4). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 2 Nov 2016.
