Zoledronic acid reduces number of skeletal-related events in new multiple myeloma patients
This report has been verified
by one or more authors of the
original publication.
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Effects of zoledronic acid versus clodronic acid on skeletal morbidity in patients with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma (MRC Myeloma IX): secondary outcomes from a randomised controlled trial
Lancet Oncol. 2011 Aug;12(8):743-52. doi: 10.1016/S1470-2045(11)70157-7. Epub 2011 Jul 211960 patients with multiple myeloma were randomized to undergo either intensive or non-intensive treatment. Within each treatment type patients were further randomized to receive either zoledronic acid intravenously or clodronic acid orally, in order to determine which bisphosphonate and treatment type was more effective in lowering the danger of skeletal-related events. Following assessments over a minimum period of 2.9 years, the results displayed that the occurrence of skeletal-related events was lower in patients who received zoledronic acid compared to those who were given clodronic acid.
