- Data show zoledronic acid, a bisphosphonate, provided significant
clinical anticancer benefit and significantly reduced risk of skeletal-
related events(1,2)
- Overall survival advantage observed with zoledronic acid plus
chemotherapy versus oral clodronate plus chemotherapy is independent of
skeletal-related event benefit(1)
- Results from a separate five-year follow-up study of hormone
receptor-positive premenopausal early breast cancer patients showed
significant improvement in progression-free survival with zoledronic
acid in this patient population(2)
New data to be presented tomorrow at the 46th Annual Meeting of the American
Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) in Chicago, IL, from the Myeloma IX study,
show that zoledronic acid plus first-line chemotherapy significantly improved
overall survival for newly diagnosed multiple myeloma patients by 16%
(P=0.0118) and progression-free survival by 12%, (P=0.0179) compared to oral
clodronate plus first-line chemotherapy(1).
