Official Title: A 24-Week Blinded Study Conducted at Multiple Centers, Evaluating the Safety and Effectiveness of Various Doses of the Investigational Drug (CAL) Versus Zoledronic Acid (Zometa®) When Randomly Assigned to Patients With Breast Cancer That Has Metastasized to Bone
Study ID: NCT00051779
Brief Summary: This study is intended to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and possible effectiveness of an investigational humanized monoclonal antibody (CAL) to the parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) when compared to zoledronic acid in patients with breast cancer metastatic to bone. The study will also evaluate the possible effects of both study drugs on performance status, markers of bone metabolism, and skeletal events related to bone metastasis including elevated blood calcium levels, bone pain, metastatic lesions, complications and interventions. The levels of CAL in the blood will also be evaluated.
