Study of Denosumab vs. Zoledronic Acid to Treat Bone Metastases in Subjects With Advanced Cancer or Multiple Myeloma.

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if denosumab is non-inferior to zoledronic acid (Zometa®) in the treatment of bone metastases (lytic bone lesions from multiple myeloma) in subjects with advanced cancer and multiple myeloma (excluding breast and prostate cancer)
