Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The difference in temperature change [from the morning on the day of infusion (day 0; pre-infusion) to the evening of the day after infusion (day 1; before dinner)] between the intervention and control arms.Timepoint: Day 0 in the morning, pre-infusion and day 1 in the evening, before dinner (where day 0 is the day of zoledronate infusion).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Difference in the proportion of participants in two arms who have a temperature increase from baseline to 100 degrees F (37.8 degrees C) in three days following the infusion, b) the difference in the proportion of participants needing rescue medications over the 3 days following the infusion, & c) the difference in acute phase reaction-symptom score between the two groups.Timepoint: The secondary outcomes are measured over three days following the infusion.
