A Phase III Randomized Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Zometa® for the Prevention of Osteoporosis and Associated Fractures in Patients Receiving Radiation Therapy and Long Term LHRH Agonists for High-Grade and/or Locally Advanced Prostate Cancer


OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- Compare the potential benefit of bisphosphonate therapy comprising zoledronate plus
vitamin D and calcium supplement vs standard therapy with vitamin D and calcium
supplement in the prevention of osteoporosis and associated bone fractures in patients
with locally advanced nonmetastatic adenocarcinoma of the prostate undergoing
radiotherapy and luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist therapy.

Secondary

- Evaluate the potential benefit of these regimens on quality of life in these patients.

- Evaluate the potential benefit in bone mineral density over a period of 3 years for
patients treated with these regimens.

OUTLINE: This is randomized multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to T score
of the hip by dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan (< -1.0 but > -2.5 vs ≥ - 1.0) and
planned duration of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist therapy (1-2½ years
vs > 2½ years). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

- Arm I: Parents receive zoledronate IV over 15 minutes once every 6 months. Patients
also receive oral calcium and oral cholecaliciferol (vitamin D) once daily. Treatment
continues for 3 years in the absence of bone fractures, disease progression, or
unacceptable toxicity.

- Arm II: Patients receive oral calcium and oral vitamin D once daily. Treatment
continues for 3 years in the absence of bone fractures, disease progression, or
unacceptable toxicity.

All patients also undergo concurrent radiotherapy (external beam, brachytherapy, or both)
and LHRH agonist (e.g., leuoprolide acetate, goserelin, buserelin, or triptorelin) therapy.

Quality of life is assessed at baseline and every 6 months during treatment.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 1,272 patients will be accrued for this study.
