Abstract
Intravenous ibandronate at a dose of 6 mg every 3-4 weeks in patients with breast cancer and bone metastases produced a significant, 40% reduction in the relative risk of skeletal-related events. Oral ibandronate at a dose of 50 mg once daily for 96 weeks similarly reduced the overall skeletal morbidity, equating to a reduction in the relative risk of skeletal-related events of 38% relative to placebo. Ibandronate was generally well tolerated in clinical trials and their long-term extensions. Both type of administration significantly improve patients' health-related quality of life. There was no evidence of renal toxicity with iv. or oral ibandronate.
