What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Deterioration in Renal Function According to Reduction in Creatinine Clearance (CrCl) From Baseline to Week 44

    CrCl was calculated from blood samples using the Cockcroft-Gault formula. Relevant deterioration in renal function was defined as CrCl reduction of 30 percent (%) from Baseline or an absolute value less than or equal to (≤) 30 milliliters per minute (mL/min) at Week 44. The last available value on/before Week 44 was used in the calculation. The percentage of participants with deterioration in renal function at Week 44 was reported.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 44

  2. Percentage of Participants With Deterioration in Renal Function According to Reduction in CrCl From Baseline to Week 92

    CrCl was calculated from blood samples using the Cockcroft-Gault formula. Relevant deterioration in renal function was defined as CrCl reduction of 30% from Baseline or an absolute value ≤30 mL/min at Week 92. The last available value on/before Week 92 was used in the calculation. The percentage of participants with deterioration in renal function at Week 92 was reported.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 92

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. Percentage of Participants With Skeletal-Related Events (SREs)

    SREs were defined according to the Bondronat Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC) to include radiotherapy to bone for treatment of fractures/impending fractures, surgery to bone for treatment of fractures, vertebral fractures, and non-vertebral fractures. The percentage of participants with at least 1 SRE during the study was reported.

    Measured: From Baseline to end of study (up to Week 96)

  2. Time to First SRE

    SREs were defined according to the Bondronat SmPC to include radiotherapy to bone for treatment of fractures/impending fractures, surgery to bone for treatment of fractures, vertebral fractures, and non-vertebral fractures. Time to first SRE was defined as the time from first dose of study drug to the time of SRE during the study. The median time to first SRE was estimated by Kaplan-Meier analysis and expressed in days.

    Measured: From Baseline to end of study (up to Week 96)

  3. Number of SREs for Each Participant

    SREs were defined according to the Bondronat SmPC to include radiotherapy to bone for treatment of fractures/impending fractures, surgery to bone for treatment of fractures, vertebral fractures, and non-vertebral fractures. The number of SREs was averaged across all participants, including those participants who did not experience SREs during the study.

    Measured: From Baseline to end of study (up to Week 96)

  4. Percentage of Participants With Osteonecrosis of Jaw

    The percentage of participants with at least 1 event of osteonecrosis of jaw during the study was reported.

    Measured: From Baseline to end of study (up to Week 96)

  5. Number of Events of Osteonecrosis of Jaw for Each Participant

    The number of events of osteonecrosis of jaw was averaged across all participants, including those participants who did not experience the event during the study.

    Measured: From Baseline to end of study (up to Week 96)

  6. Percentage of Participants With Zoledronate Dose Reduction

    The percentage of participants with at least 1 zoledronate dose reduction during the study was reported.

    Measured: From Baseline to end of study (up to Week 96)

  7. Number of Zoledronate Dose Reductions for Each Participant

    The number of zoledronate dose reductions was averaged across all participants, including those participants who did not have any dose reductions during the study.

    Measured: From Baseline to end of study (up to Week 96)

  8. Percent Change From Baseline in N-Acetyl-Beta-D-Glucosaminidase (B-NAG)

    The percent change in B-NAG was calculated as [Week 44 or 92 B-NAG minus Baseline B-NAG] divided by Baseline B-NAG, multiplied by 100. For the Week 44 analysis, the last available value on/before Week 44 was used in the calculation. For the Week 92 analysis, the last available value on/before Week 92 was used in the calculation.

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 44, 92

  9. Percent Change From Baseline in Alpha (A) 1-Microglobulin

    The percent change in A1-microglobulin was calculated as [Week 44 or 92 A1-microglobulin minus Baseline A1-microglobulin] divided by Baseline A1-microglobulin, multiplied by 100. For the Week 44 analysis, the last available value on/before Week 44 was used in the calculation. For the Week 92 analysis, the last available value on/before Week 92 was used in the calculation.

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 44, 92

  10. Percent Change From Baseline in Gamma-Glutamyltransferase (GGT)

    The percent change in GGT was calculated as [Week 44 or 92 GGT minus Baseline GGT] divided by Baseline GGT, multiplied by 100. For the Week 44 analysis, the last available value on/before Week 44 was used in the calculation. For the Week 92 analysis, the last available value on/before Week 92 was used in the calculation.

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 44, 92

  11. Percentage of Participants With Elevation of Serum Creatinine (SCr) From Baseline

    Elevation in SCr was defined as an increase greater than (>) 0.5 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) for participants with Baseline SCr less than (<) 1.4 mg/dL, or an increase >1.0 mg/dL for participants with Baseline SCr greater than or equal to (≥) 1.4 mg/dL. For the Week 44 analysis, the last available value on/before Week 44 was used. For the Week 92 analysis, the last available value on/before Week 92 was used. The percentage of participants with elevation of SCr at Weeks 44 and 92 was reported.

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 44, 92

  12. Percent Change From Baseline in CrCl

    CrCl was calculated from blood samples using the Cockcroft-Gault formula, and was also measured by urinalysis. The percent change in CrCl was calculated as [Week 44 or 92 CrCl minus Baseline CrCl] divided by Baseline CrCl, multiplied by 100. For the Week 44 analysis, the last available value on/before Week 44 was used in the calculation. For the Week 92 analysis, the last available value on/before Week 92 was used in the calculation.

    Measured: Baseline and Weeks 44, 92

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Ibandronate and Zoledronate in people with Multiple Myeloma, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 56 sites in Germany.

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 7 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 56 sites in Germany. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Jul 2016). 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 Participants With Deterioration in Renal Function According to Reduction in Creatinine Clearance (CrCl) From Baseline to Week 44 (time frame: Baseline, Week 44). 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 22 Jul 2016.
