Abstract

Introduction:Approximately 80% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with bone metastases have cancer induced bone pain (CIBP). Methods:The NVALT-9 was an open-label, single arm, phase II, multicenter study. Main inclusion criterion: bone metastasized NSCLC patients with uncontrolled CIBP [brief pain inventory [BPI] >= 5 over last 7 days]. Patients were treated with six milligram ibandronate intravenously (day 1-3) once a day. Main exclusion criteria: active secondary malignancy, systemic anti-tumor treatment and radiotherapy = 80% and 95% confidence to declare the treatment inactive if the pain response rate is
