NCT ID NCT04549207
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether people with breast or prostate cancer that has spread to the bones can safely stop or reduce their bone-strengthening medication after taking it for at least two years. The goal is to see if this change improves their quality of life without increasing bone problems like fractures. About 240 adults are taking part, and they are randomly assigned to either continue their current treatment or reduce/stop it.
