November 20, 2009 updated by: Novartis

A Randomized, Double-blind, Multi-centre Study to Evaluate the Fficacy and Safety of Zometa as a Treatment in Patients With Bone Metastases of Any Solid Tumors or Multiple Myeloma

Zoledronic acid is a medication that slows the breakdown of bone. This study will assess the efficacy and safety of zoledronic acid in Chinese patients with multiple myeloma or other solid tumors with bone metastases.
