| Main Objective: There is evidence to suggest that suppression in markers of bone resorption may correlate with a reduction in skeletal related events and metastatic bone pain. Bone markers therefore act as useful determinants for assessing clinical responses to bisphosphonate therapy, which reduces bone resorption. The primary objective is to evaluate the serum levels of biochemical markers of bone turnover in patients with breast cancer and malignant bone disease switched from i.v. Zoledronic acid to oral Ibandronate. ;Secondary Objective: Safety parameters:Serum creatinine, calculated creatinine clerarance;Primary end point(s): The primary objective is to evaluate the serum levels of biochemical markers of bone turnover in patients with breast cancer and malignant bone disease switched from i.v. Zoledronic acid to oral Ibandronate. The change in bone resorption through Ibandronate will be described based on the monitoring of clinical laboratory results of the biochemical markers of bone turnover. The main efficacy endpoint is the stabilization of serum levels of the bone resorption marker s-CTX (cross linked C terminal telopeptide of type I collagen) 3 months after switching to the oral Ibandronate treatment regimen (50mg Ibandronate / day) | — |
