Status: Recruiting

Protocol Number: ML18508

Sponsor: Hoffmann-La Roche AG

Company Division: Pharmaceutical

Official Scientific Title: COMPARE: A randomized, open-label study to compare the nephrotoxicity of Bondronat and zoledronate in patients with multiple myeloma

Brief Summary: This study will compare the effect of intravenous Bondronat and zoledronate on renal toxicity, in terms of serum creatinine levels, and efficacy, in terms of skeletal events, in patients with multiple myeloma. The anticipated time on study treatment is 1-2 years, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals. Target sample size is 448.
