Zoledronic acid and ibandronic acid are listed in the Indonesian national formulary to prevent skeletal-related events (SRE) in patients diagnosed with bone metastasis in multiple myeloma (MM), with limited evidence to compare their effectiveness. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness and safety of zoledronic acid and ibandronic acid in delaying SRE. The method was the retrospective, with data obtained from the multicenter study for MM patients with bone metastasis (aged over 18 years), based on medical records between January 2016 and December 2018. Patients were assigned to zoledronic acid and ibandronic acid groups. The clinical outcome was the next SRE which consists of vertebral/bone fracture, spinal cord compression leading to the need for surgery or radiation, and adverse event (AE) due to 2 years of drugs usage. Result of this research was made up of a total of seventy (70) patients with  40  in the zoledronic acid group, and 30 in ibandronic acid. At median treatment duration of 8 months (range: 2 – 24 month), SRE incident in zoledronic acid and ibandronic acid were 20.0 % and 23.3 % respectively. Furthermore, their mean SRE free survival times were 21 months [95% confidence interval (CI) 19 - 23 months], and 19 months [95% CI, 16 – 22 months], respectively. Also, their time intervals were not significantly different (p>0.05). The osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) was AE which occurred more in zoledronic acid than ibandronic acid. The conclusion was zoledronic acid tends to delay SRE time compared to ibandronic acid, although more ONJ occur.

Objective To determine the incidence of skeletal-related events among multiple myeloma patients who received chemotherapy without a bone-modifying agent (zoledronic acid and denosumab) versus those who received chemotherapy with a bone-modifying agent. The secondary objective was to determine the incidence of skeletal-related events in patients without any prior history of skeletal-related events and who were treated with zoledronic acid every four weeks versus those who received zoledronic acid at an extended interval of every twelve weeks. Additional secondary objectives included the incidence of nephrotoxicity, hypocalcemia and osteonecrosis of the jaw in all patients. Methods This institutional review board-approved, retrospective cohort study included patients 18 to 89 years old with a diagnosis of multiple myeloma, who were being treated with chemotherapy between July 1, 2016 and October 31, 2019. Safety and efficacy were assessed through analysis of pertinent data collected: patient demographics, baseline skeletal-related events, development of new skeletal-related events, number and type of bone-modifying agent doses administered, and drug-related toxicities such as nephrotoxicity, hypocalcemia, and osteonecrosis of the jaw. Results A total of 73 patients were included. New skeletal-related events occurred in 12 patients (27%) in the chemotherapy without a bone-modifying agent group and in 5 patients (17%) in the chemotherapy with a bone-modifying agent group (OR = 0.56, 95% CI [0.172–1.8]; P = 0.32). The incidence of skeletal-related events was similar among patients receiving zoledronic acid every four weeks versus every twelve weeks in patients without a prior skeletal-related event (N = 0 vs. N = 2 respectively; P = 0.47). There were no statistically significant differences observed in each of the three secondary safety endpoints: incidence of hypocalcemia, nephrotoxicity and osteonecrosis of the jaw. Conclusion Multiple myeloma patients receiving chemotherapy without a bone-modifying agent had higher rates of skeletal-related events compared to those being treated with chemotherapy and a bonemodifying agent. Our results highlight the benefit of utilizing bonemodifying agents for the prevention of skeletal-related events in all multiple myeloma patients being treated with chemotherapy.

9630 Background: The bisphosphonate (BP) ZOL is frequently used to prevent skeletal-related events (SRE) in cancer pts. However, data are limited on its use beyond 2 years. LOTUZ is among the first studies to examine Rx and outcomes in pts with ZOL Rx for >2y. We report 6-month results. Methods: Prospective (18m), multicenter (50), pharmacoepidemiologic study. Baseline (0m) and 6m data available on 205 pts (of 298 enrolled), all free from osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ) at 0m. Prior to ZOL Rx, 27.8% had non-ZOL BP Rx. Mean pre-enrollment BP duration was 42 mo (23–145) with 38 mo (23–80) for ZOL. Results: Mean age: 64 y (38–88); M/F: 29/71%; 67.8% with MBD vs 32.2% MM. 89.3% continued ZOL RX 0–6m; 90% with dose 4mg. From 0–6m, 10 pts (4.8%) developed ONJ (4 with MM, 6 with MBD): 5 mild, 3 moderate, 2 severe (median BP duration: 38.4, 46.5, and 34.8 months, respectively). Five pts with ONJ continued on ZOL RX 0–6m (3 mild, 2 moderate). 4/10 pts with ONJ had baseline dental conditions or procedures, 8/10 at 6m (only 1/10 at neither). SREs and pain levels remained constant 0–6m compared to 6m prior to baseline (see Table ). Conclusions: Beyond 2y, 90% of pts were continued on ZOL. SREs did not increase, but ONJ was diagnosed in 10/205 pts 0–6m, of which 5 were on ZOL RX beyond 24m. Long-term data are needed to better understand the risk/benefit of long-term ZOL Rx.

e16092 Background: The potency of zoledronic acid for hormone-naïve prostate cancer is unclear. We conducted a phase II study to investigate the benefit of administering zoledronic acid concomitant with androgen-deprivation therapy in treatment-naïve prostate cancer patients with bone metastases, in which the primary endpoint was skeleton-related event (SRE)-free survival at 24 months after treatment. Methods: Treatment-naïve male patients with histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate and radiologic evidence of bone metastasis were eligible. Treatment consisted of bicalutamide 80 mg administered orally on Day 1 and every day, goserelin acetate 10.8 mg administered subcutaneously on Day 8 and every 12 weeks, and zoledronic acid 4 mg administered intravenously on Day 8 and every four weeks. Results: Between July 2008 and April 2010, a total of 53 patients were enrolled and 52 evaluable. Median age was 72 years (range, 55 - 86). Median primary PSA was 249.4 ng/ml (range, 2.19 –19201). Median follow-up period was 33.3 months. The SRE-free survival rate at 24 months after treatment was 82.7 %. Median time to PSA progression was 25.9 months (95% confidential interval, 17.97-24.43). The score of the extent of bone diseases was stable or decreased in 73 % of the patients at 24 months after treatment. The grade-3 osteonecrosis of the jaw was reported in three patients (5.8 %). Conclusions: Our results suggest the potency of the early introduction of zoledronic acid for prostate cancer patients with bone metastases. Future studies are certainly required to ascertain the most appropriate timing of the commencement of zoledronic acid for patients with bone-metastatic prostate cancer.

4614 Background: Docetaxel prolongs survival in AIPC patients and zoledronic acid (ZA) reduces the incidence of SREs. The SRE incidence of patients treated with docetaxel-based chemotherapy has not previously been reported. Methods: ASCENT was a randomized clinical trial that compared weekly DN-101 (calcitriol, 45 μg p.o. on day 1) plus docetaxel (36 mg/m2 iv on day 2 for 3 weeks of a 4-week cycle) to placebo plus docetaxel in patients with chemotherapy-naïve metastatic AIPC. ZA use was not restricted. SRE-free survival was described for the entire group and then compared for patients randomly assigned to DN-101 or placebo and stratified by ZA use. Statistical comparisons were conducted using Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel for incidence and log-rank for SRE-free survival. Results: With a median follow-up of 18.3 months, 33% of subjects experienced at least one SRE and the overall median SRE-free survival was 13 (95% CI 10.5–14.3) months. The incidence of SRE by type was: radiation to bone (18.8%), fracture (10%), spinal cord compression (4%), surgery to bone (0.4%). Eighty-five (34%) patients received ZA. The study was not adequately powered to measure the impact of DN-101 or ZA on SRE endpoints. Exploratory analyses showed a trend for an increase in SRE-free survival (HR 0.78, p = 0.13) of DN-101-treated patients. SRE-free survival and incidence for subgroups were examined ( Table ). Conclusions: This is the first report of SRE incidence in a large, prospective study of docetaxel-based therapy. Improved therapies for reducing SREs in AIPC are needed because the risk of SREs remains high despite the use of modern chemotherapy and ZA. [Table: see text] [Table: see text]

18506 Background: Although dexamethasone (Dex), thalidomide (Thal) and zoledronic acid (Zol) have frequently been combined for the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM), the ideal dosing schedule is unknown. We previously reported that lower doses of Dex and Thal can be effectively combined with high-frequency dosing of Zol (Haematologica 2005). Methods: This “dtZ” regimen - which comprises weekly Dex 20 mg OM for 4 days, Thal 50 mg ON, and 3-weekly Zol 4 mg - resulted in an impressive response rate (RR) of 61.6% and near complete remission (nCR)/complete remission (CR) rate of 7.7% in 26 patients with relapsed/refractory MM. Results: In this present study, we treated 22 newly diagnosed MM patients with “dtZ” and report an even more impressive RR of 100.0% and nCR/CR rate of 20–35%. The median time to response was 1.8 months and median time to maximum response was 2.2 months. The median time to progression (TTP) has not been achieved yet. As expected, low-dose Dex/Thal resulted in lower (18.1%) grade 3 or 4 toxicities. These were all infections; which lead to further dose-reduction of Dex. There were no thromboembolic events, despite the fact that aspirin was not routinely given. Of particular interest, 3- weekly Zol was not associated with any significant decrease in renal function, and none of our patients developed osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ). In fact, at the time of writing of this abstract, more than 1,000 doses of Zol had been administered in a 3-weekly fashion to these as well as other patients, and only 1 patient developed ONJ. This patient who had already received greater than 20 doses of Zol healed uneventfully after receiving appropriate outpatient dental treatment, and subsequently received another 8 doses of Zol with no recurrence of ONJ. Conclusion: In conclusion, the Zol-based “dtZ” regimen is potentially a highly-effective and safe frontline regimen for MM. Using Zol every 3 weeks with lower doses of Dex and Thal does not appear to increase the rate or severity of nephrotoxicity or ONJ. Although we do not know exactly why every patient responded to “dtZ”, we speculate that this could be due to a critical balance that has been achieved between the anti-MM, anti-osteoclastic and immunostimulatory effects of the individual drugs of the combination. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract Introduction: Denosumab is a monoclonal antibody targeting receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL) that has been shown to reduce skeletal-related events (SREs) associated with bone lesions in patients with multiple myeloma. Results from the full primary analysis of an international, double-blind, double-dummy, randomized controlled phase 3 (20090482) study that assessed the efficacy and safety of denosumab vs zoledronic acid for preventing SREs in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) indicated that denosumab was non-inferior to zoledronic acid for time to SREs. Here we present a sub-analysis to evaluate efficacy and safety outcomes in a subgroup of Asian patients enrolled in the 20090482 study. Methods: Adult patients from Asian countries with newly diagnosed MM and ≥1 documented lytic bone lesion were included in this analysis. Patients received subcutaneous denosumab (120 mg) plus intravenous placebo or intravenous zoledronic acid (4 mg) plus subcutaneous placebo in 4-week cycles. The primary endpoint was time to first on-study SRE; the incidence of adverse events (AEs) by preferred term was also examined. Results: Overall, 196 Asian patients (denosumab, n=103; zoledronic acid, n=93) were included in this analysis. Patient demographics were generally well balanced between groups. Median (interquartile range [IQR]) number of months on study was 17.5 (9.8-30.2) for the denosumab group and 20.2 (13.1-29.2) for the zoledronic acid group. Median (IQR) cumulative drug exposure was 15.9 (8.5-24.0) months for denosumab and 17.4 (9.1-26.7) months for zoledronic acid. Fewer patients in the denosumab group developed first on-study SRE compared with the zoledronic acid group; the crude incidence of SREs at the primary analysis cutoff was 38.8% in the denosumab group and 50.5% in the zoledronic acid group. Median (95% CI) time in months to first on-study SRE was not reached (11.2-not reached) for the denosumab group and 12.3 (3.1-not reached) for the zoledronic acid group (hazard ratio [HR], 0.77; 95% CI, 0.48-1.26; Figure 1). Overall, all patients (100%) experienced ≥1 treatment-emergent AE; the AEs reported in ≥20% of patients in either treatment arm are presented in Table 1. The most common AEs reported in either subgroup (denosumab, zoledronic acid) were diarrhea (51.0%, 51.1%), nausea (42.2%, 46.7%), pyrexia (38.2%, 41.3%), upper respiratory tract infection (37.3%, 40.2%), and constipation (33.3%, 31.5%). Renal toxicity (preferred terms of blood creatinine increased, renal failure, urine output decreased, acute kidney injury, renal impairment, and blood urea decreased) occurred in 9 of 102 (8.8%) patients in the denosumab group and 20 of 92 (21.7%) patients in the zoledronic acid group. Adjudicated osteonecrosis of the jaw was reported in 7 (6.9%) patients in the denosumab group and 5 (5.4%) patients in the zoledronic acid group. Hypocalcemia was reported in 19 (18.6%) patients in the denosumab group and 17 (18.5%) patients in the zoledronic acid group. Conclusion: Results from this Asian subgroup analysis were comparable to those of the full analysis set. In addition, in this analysis there were numerically fewer patients in the denosumab arm that developed a first on-study SRE compared with those in the zoledronic acid arm, and the time to first on-study SRE had a trend favoring the denosumab-treated patients. The AE profiles for denosumab and zoledronic acid in the Asian subgroup were comparable to those observed in the full primary analysis, with renal toxicity similarly reported to be higher in the zoledronic acid group. Overall, this analysis supports that denosumab may be an additional treatment option for the standard of care for Asian patients with newly diagnosed MM with bone disease.

Abstract Purpose: This study evaluated the risk of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) in patients with cancer who received denosumab or zoledronic acid (ZA) for treating bone metastasis.Methods: The medical records of patients were retrospectively reviewed. Patients who did not undergo a dental examination at baseline were excluded. The primary endpoint was a comparison of the risk of developing MRONJ between the denosumab and ZA groups. Propensity score matching was used to control for baseline differences between patient characteristics and compare outcomes for both groups.Results: Among the 799 patients enrolled, 58 (7.3%) developed MRONJ. The incidence of MRONJ was significantly higher in the denosumab group than in the ZA group (9.6% [39/406] vs. 4.8% [19/393], p = 0.009). Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis revealed that denosumab treatment (hazard ratio [HR], 2.89; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.65–5.25; p < 0.001) and tooth extraction after starting ZA or denosumab (HR, 4.26; 95% CI, 2.38–7.44; p < 0.001) were significant risk factors for MRONJ. Propensity score-matched analysis confirmed that the risk of developing MRONJ was significantly higher in the denosumab group than in the ZA group (HR, 2.34; 95% CI, 1.17–5.01; p = 0.016). Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that denosumab poses a significant risk for developing MRONJ in patients treated for bone metastasis, and thus these patients require close monitoring.
