Clinical effect of intravenous infusion of zoledronic acid combined with oral medication of cinobufagin in the treatment of metastatic bone tumors

Pak J Pharm Sci. 2018 Jul;31(4(Special)):1609-1612.

Abstract

Aim of the study was to observe and analyze the clinical effect of intravenous infusion of zoledronic acid combined with oral medication of cinobufagin in treating metastatic bone tumors. The 120 patients who have been treated in the hospital for metastatic bone tumor from June 2014 to June 2017 were selected as research objects. They were randomly divided into research group and control group, each containing 60. The research group was treated with intravenous infusion of zoledronic acid combined with oral medication of cinobufagin. In the control group, only zoledronic acid intravenous infusion was administered. The overall treatment effect of the two groups was observed. The pain of two groups was evaluated using numerical rating scale (NRS). The results showed that compared with the control group, the research group achieved better clinical effect and had a higher quality of life, and the intergroup difference was of statistical significance, P<0.05. There was no difference in rate of adverse reactions between the two groups, P>0.05, without statistical significance. The combined therapy of intravenous infusion of zoledronic acid and oral medication of cinobufagin can obtain better therapeutic effect in treating metastatic bone tumors.
