Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Primary objective will be pain reduction on the pain scale (scale 0-10) at 12 weeks of treatment. Response of treatment will be defined as a reduction of at least two points of the pain scale.
Secondary outcome
Pain reduction on the pain scale at 4-8-16-20-24 weeks of treatment. Use of analgesics at 4-8-12-16-20-24 weeks of treatment.
New skeletal-related events (=time to progression, including fractures, need of repeated radiotherapy, surgery).
Side effects at 4-8-12-16-20-24 weeks of treatment.
Quality of Life, as measured by the EORTC-QLQ-C30 and EQ-5D, at 12-24 weeks.
Background summary
Although radiotherapy is highly effective to treat painful bone metastases of PC, the rate of re-treatment is considerable, and re-treatment of the same metastases needs to be done often after a short time and with a low response rate.
Ibandronate, 50 mg administered on a daily base for 6 months, might be effective to reduce pain from bone metastases, to reduce the need of analgesics, and to reduce the need of re-treatments with radiotherapy or other interventions.
Study objective
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of oral ibandronate (versus placebo) added to the standard radiotherapy regimen for painful bone metastases to reduce pain, to reduce the need of analgesics, and to reduce skeletal-related events (impending fractures, need of repeated radiotherapy, or surgery).
