Summary

RATIONALE: Zoledronic acid, vitamin D, and calcium may prevent bone loss in patients who are undergoing donor stem cell transplant.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well zoledronic acid works in preventing osteoporosis in patients undergoing donor stem cell transplant.

Conditions

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

calcium

All randomized patients (control and study drug) will take 1000 mg of calcium and 400 - 500 International Units (IU) of vitamin D orally each day, beginning as soon as possible after study enrollment. These supplements may be taken either in the morning or in the evening with food. Participants will continue taking the supplements on a daily basis until the final study visit (approximately 12 months after the transplant date).

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

cholecalciferol

Given orally

DRUG

zoledronic acid

Zoledronic acid (Zometa®) will be administered after randomization (but within 28 days prior to transplant) and at 3 and 6 months after the transplant for a total of 3 doses. The dose of Zometa will be 4 mg intravenous in 100 ml of sterile 0.9% sodium chloride, United States Pharmacopeia (USP), or 5% dextrose, USP infused over a minimum of 15 minutes for patients with a calculated creatinine clearance of ≥60 mL/min. The drug may be administered through a peripheral or a central intravenous line.
