Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Metastatic breast cancer to the bone with radiologically confirmed bone metastases
  • High-risk of subsequent SRE as reflected through either: elevated serum CTX (\> 400ng/L) and/or bone pain (using BPI) and/or prior SRE while on bisphosphonate therapy and/or progressive bone metastasis (by imaging)
  • On pamidronate therapy for at least 3 months
  • ECOG ≤ 2 and life expectancy \> 3 months
  • Serum creatinine ≤ 2.0 × ULN (zoledronic acid or pamidronate to be renal dosed as per institution standard)
  • No changes in systemic treatment in the 4 weeks prior to study entry or anticipated changes in the 4 weeks after entering the study. Markers of bone formation can be affected by a change in systemic therapies
  • Ability to take calcium and Vitamin D as per Health Canada recommended daily doses for the duration of the study
  • Ability to provide informed consent and complete study evaluations.

Exclusion

  • Patients with acute symptomatic pathological fractures or acute spinal cord compression until such time as the appropriate management (surgery and/or radiotherapy) has been completed
  • Acute hypercalcemia (\>3.5 mmol/L)
  • Hypersensitivity to any bisphosphonate
  • Patients with rapidly progressive non-bone metastases for whom delaying a change in systemic anti-cancer treatment for the 1 month biochemical marker evaluation period could have a detrimental impact on patient outcome.
  • Renal dysfunction (≥ 2x creatinine of the upper limit of normal )
  • Pregnancy or lactation
  • Patients with dental abscesses or patients potentially requiring tooth extraction while on study
