Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
1. Signed informed consent 2.Histologically confirmed diagnosis of non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) – cytology alone is acceptable 3. Asymptomatic metastatic, previously unirradiated disease to the bone, detected by PET or PET/CT scan 4. Asymptomatic, assessable metastatic disease to previously unirradiated, non-osseous lesions detected by PET or PET/CT scan 5. ECOG performance status of 0-2. NB. Patients who are ECOG 2 must have a reduced PS due to comorbidities rather than their cancer 6. Estimated survival of at least 6 months 7. All potential patients, prior to registration must be reviewed at a multidisciplinary lung oncology meeting attended by medical oncologists, radiation oncologists and radiologists. 8. Women of child bearing potential must be using an adequate method of contraception to avoid pregnancy throughout the study and for at least 3 months after the study drug is ceased.

Summary
Brief summary
This phase II study plans to trial monthly zoledronic acid therapy in patients with PET-detected bone metastases from non-small cell lung cancer, to assess whether zoledronic acid therapy has anti-tumour effects on subsequent PET scans, delays complications related to bony metastases, or is associated with a prolongation of overall or progression-free survival. We plan to study this question in patients with metastatic disease not being immediately commenced on palliative chemotherapy.
