Clinical Trial: Genetics in Predicting Risk of Bisphosphonate-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw in Patients With Cancer Receiving Zoledronic Acid

Study Type: Interventional




Official Title: POPULATION PHARMACOMETRICS FOR ASSESSING RISK OF BISPHOSPHONATE-RELATED OSTEONECROSIS OF THE JAW (BRONJ)

Brief Summary: This randomized clinical trial studies genetics in predicting risk of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw in patients with cancer receiving zoledronic acid. Zoledronic acid is an anti-resorptive drug used as part of cancer treatment. A serious side effect of these drugs is death of the jawbone, commonly called bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ). Genetic research may help doctors understand risk factors for BRONJ or who is more likely to get BRONJ and why.
