Preclinical and clinical evidence suggests that bisphosphonates have anticancer activities both within and outside bone. Early clinical trials of bisphosphonates provided evidence for antimyeloma effects in exploratory analyses in high-risk subsets, and recent trials of zoledronic acid (ZOL) have provided further support of antimyeloma activity The MRC Myeloma IX trial is an innovative 2 x 2 factorial trial comparing ZOL and clodronate (CLO) in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma receiving either intensive or non-intensive therapy regimens. Results showed that ZOL significantly reduced skeletal morbidity and significantly improved both progression-free and overall survival versus CLO. Notably, the survival benefit with ZOL remained significant after adjustment for skeletal-related events, consistent with clinically meaningful antimyeloma activity. Further analyses of these data will provide greater insight into ZOL interactions with primary treatment regimens for multiple myeloma.
