Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The proportion of patients who develop bone metastases during the study. [Time Frame: until last follow up contact]

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Time to first bone metastasis; 2. Overall survival [Time Frame: Survival will be assessed until the last patient has finished the follow up period and is defined as time from visit 2 until death.]; 3. Time to PSA doubling; 4. Safety [Safety assessments will consist of regular monitoring and recording of the following parameters: a) Blood biochemistry: serum creatinine (to be evaluated prior to each administration of Zometa® (zoledronic acid)) b) Adverse events / serious adverse events (including new or, compared to baseline, worsened significant findings in physical examination or routine laboratory assessments). c) Laboratory evaluations, Hematology, Blood chemistry (“Complete Biochemistry”), Physical examination; 5. Bone mineral density (sub study in selected centres) [DXA (Dual energy x-ray Absorptiometrie (Visite1 and Visite 18)] and 6. Biochemical markers of bone turnover (sub study in selected centers only). [Skeletal alkaline phosphatase (sALP), Osteoprotegerin, N-terminal propeptide of type I procollagen, C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen, Cross-linked N-telopeptides of type I collagen (NTx), Tartarte-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRAP) (Viste 1 - Visite 18)]
