Bonefos (clodronate) is a non-amino bisphosphonate intended to reduce the occurrence of bone metastases in the post-surgical (adjuvant) treatment of breast cancer patients.
In January 2005, Berlex, Inc. announced the receipt of an Approvable Letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), advising the company that approval was dependent upon the results of the ongoing National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP) B-34 study. While oral Bonefos is approved in 67 countries outside the United States largely for the treatment of tumor-induced osteolysis and hypercalcemia, it remains commerically undeveloped in the United States.
