NCT00127205

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Zoledronate, clodronate, or ibandronate may delay or prevent bone metastases in patients with nonmetastatic breast cancer. It is not yet known whether zoledronate is more effective than clodronate or ibandronate in treating breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying zoledronate to see how well it works compared to clodronate or ibandronate in treating women who have undergone surgery for stage I, stage II, or stage III breast cancer.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Disease-free Survival

    Time from date of registration to date of first observation of recurrence or death due to any cause. Patients last known to be alive who have not experienced recurrence of disease are censored at their last contact date. The outcome for the disease-free survival will be presented as 5 year survival rate.

    Disease assessments are completed every 6 months for 5 years then annually for 5 years or until death or recurrence

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Overall Survival

    follow up completed every 6 months for 5 years and then annually for 5 years or until death

  • Distributions of Sites of First Recurrence on the Three Arms.

    Disease assessments are completed every 6 months for 5 years then annually for 5 years or until death or recurrence

  • Number of Patients With Gr 3 Through 5 Adverse Events That Are Related to Study Drugs

    Toxicity assessment is repeated every 2 months for the first 6 months, then every 3 months until 3 years or end of treatment.

Study Arms (3)

Arm I

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients receive zoledronate IV over 15 minutes once a month for 6 months and then once every 3 months for 2.5 years.

Drug: zoledronic acid

Arm II

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients receive oral clodronate once daily for 35 months.

Drug: clodronate disodium

Arm III

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients receive oral ibandronate once daily for 35 months.

Drug: ibandronate sodium
