Arm Description

Arm ( A) : patients will receive calcium & vitamin D

we will give calcium and Vitamin D daily in addition to bisphosphonates (zolendronic acid ) every 3 months in the dose of

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure the change in the Bone densitometry due to secondary osteoporosis
we will do the following for evaluation : Bone densitometry using Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan analyzed using the Z-score. To be done : At baseline ( not more than 48 hours of start of therapy with steroids) At week 48 At end of treatment ( week 120 for girls ) & ( week 146 for boys) As required clinically eg: fractures . Magnetic resonance imaging of both hips & knees will be done at reinduction I & II & if symptomatic.

Secondary Outcome Measures

- To assess the percentage change in lumbar spine BMD at wk 48 relative to baseline in both arms.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) is the most common malignancy in children. It accounts for one fourth of all childhood cancers & 74 % of childhood leukemia. Based upon drug registry data, children prescribed more than three courses of systemic glucocorticoids yearly faced a 20% increase in age-adjusted fracture rates. Rapid recovery occurred once glucocorticoids were discontinued, and fracture rates returned to expected for age by 1 year after treatment (Journal Of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism 2009). The investigators will study the role of bisphosphonates in the prevention of secondary osteoporosis in children & adolescents treated for ALL in the Children's Cancer Hospital -Egypt.
