Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Zoledronic acid 5 mg iv
Treatment: Drugs - Placebo

Experimental: Zoledronic Acid - 5 mg/100 ml administered via a peripheral intravenous site as a slow infusion over 15 minutes. The intravenous (i.v.) infusion was delivered via vented infusion line (to allow constant flow) and 20-22 gauge angiocatheter, and preceded and followed by a 10 ml normal saline flush of the intravenous line for a total volume infused of 120 ml once a year.

Placebo Comparator: Placebo - 100 ml Placebo administered via a peripheral intravenous site as a slow infusion over 15 minutes. The i.v. infusion was delivered via vented infusion line (to allow constant flow) and 20-22 gauge angiocatheter, and preceded and followed by a 10 ml normal saline flush of the intravenous line for a total volume infused of 120 ml once a year.


Treatment: Drugs: Zoledronic acid 5 mg iv
Zoledronic acid 5 mg iv given once a year.

Treatment: Drugs: Placebo
