I'm in the SWOG 307 trial. My oncologist who recommended it does a lot of clinical trial research and I spoke to 2 other oncologists who also endorsed it. There is no placebo arm (good for patients, maybe not for interpretation of results). The zoledronic acid (Zometa) is considered standard of care but they should all work. I think better bisphosphonates will come along but it is what we have right now and is showing promising results. For those just completing chemo, you may want to check out the links above.
