Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Treatment, Randomized, Double-Blind, Active Control, Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study

Official Title: Randomized, Double-Blind, Safety and Efficacy Trial with Intravenous Zoledronic Acid for the Treatment of Paget's Disease of Bone using Risedronate as a Comparator

Further Study Details: 
Primary Outcomes: Non-inferiority of zoledronic acid to risedronate, with respect to the proportion of patients who achieved therapeutic response

Study start: April 2002

Efficacy: The primary efficacy variable was the proportion of patients who achieved therapeutic response. A therapeutic response was defined as a reduction of at least 75% from baseline in serum alkaline phosphatase (SAP) excess (difference between measured level and midpoint to the normal range) or normalization of SAP.

Safety: Safety assessments consisted of monitoring and recording all adverse events and serious adverse events, the regular monitoring of hematology, blood chemistry, serum PTH, and urinalysis, regular measurement of vital signs and the performance of physical examinations. Special safety evaluations included bone biopsies, and the assessment of renal abnormalities.
