- Patients who have undergone major surgery (e.g., intra-thoracic, intra-abdominal or intra-pelvic) = 4 weeks prior to study enrollment or who have not recovered from side effects of such therapy

- Diminished renal capacity: calculated creatinine clearance (CrCl) <30 mL/min (based on Cockcroft-Gault formula)

- Corrected (i.e., adjusted for serum albumin) serum calcium of <8.0 mg/dL (2.00 mmol/L) or = 12 mg/dL (3.00 mmol/L)

- Pregnant or breast-feeding females

- Women of child-bearing potential who are not willing/able to use effective methods of birth control (e.g., abstinence, oral contraceptives or implants, IUD, vaginal diaphragm or sponge, or condom with spermicide)

- History of non-compliance to medical regimens and/or patients who are considered unreliable

- History of bone metabolism diseases

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Number of Participants With Progression Free Survival (PFS) Complete Response (CR): disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (target or non-target) must have exhibited a reduction in short axis to < 10 mm. Partial Response (PR): at least a 30% decrease in sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters. Progressive Disease (PD): at least 20% increase in sum of diameters of target lesions taking as reference the smallest sum on study accompanied by an absolute increase of at least 5 mm or appearance of one or more new lesions. Stable Disease (SD): neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference smallest sum diameters. PFS is time from enrollment to date of first documented disease progression or death due to any cause. A participant is considered to be censored when data on time to event is missing due to a subject being lost to follow-up or non-occurrence of the outcome event before the completion of the trial. up to 18 months No
Secondary Percentage of Patients With Circulating Tumor Cell Levels of at Least 5 Per 7.5 mL of Peripheral Blood by Month Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have been associated with poor patient prognosis and outcomes in patients receiving treatment for MBC. CTCs have been evaluated as a potential biomarker for predicting treatment effects and overall survival. Baseline was defined as the last predose measurement for patients who received any study drug and as the later of the screening visit or Visit 2 value for patients who did not receive the study drug. Percentage was calculated as the number of patients with CTC =5/7.5 mL against the number of patients with nonmissing CTC values (represented as 'n' in the categories). Baseline, Month 1, 2, 4, 6, 9 and 18 No
Secondary Time to Progression (TTP) Time to progression is defined as the time from the date of enrollment to the date of first documented disease progression or death due to metastatic breast cancer. up to 18 months No
Secondary Change From Baseline in Urine NTX by Month NTX= N-telopeptide of type 1 collagen (nmol bce/mmol [nanomoles of bone collagen equivalents per millimole of creatinine]). Baseline was defined as the last predose measurement for patients who received any study drug and as the later of the screening visit or visit 2 value for patients who did not receive study drug. Baseline, Month 2, Month 4 No
