Trial summary

This observational study will examine rates of compliance with calcium and vitamin D doses prescribed to cancer patients who may benefit from taking these supplements due to the type of cancer treatment drugs they have been given.

Who is it for?
You may be eligible for this study if you are 18 or older, you are receiving cancer treatment(s) including Denosumab, Pamidronate or Zoledronic acid and you are attending one of the Icon Cancer Centres in Queensland for treatment.

Study details
All enrolled participants will be asked to complete a survey that includes questions about their current cancer treatment, and whether they have been prescribed calcium and vitamin D in addition to their cancer treatment. It is expected that the survey will take approximately 15 minutes to complete, and participants will be asked to complete this during a scheduled clinic visit, therefore additional study visits are not required.

It is hoped this research will determine the current rate of calcium and vitamin D dose compliance in patients whose cancer treatment may have a negative impact on their bone health. It is hoped this study will also identify barriers that may make it difficult for patients to maintain their calcium and vitamin D doses and will then be able to make adjustments to address these barriers.
