Brief summary:
This study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of a dosing method for zoledronic acid in preventing skeletal complications in multiple myeloma participants who have been on an intravenous (IV) bisphosphonate for about one to two years.

Detailed description:

Arms:
arm 1: Participants received 4 milligrams (mg) or a reduced dose, i.e., 3.5 mg, or 3.3 mg or 3.0 mg of Zoledronic acid as an IV infusion over a minimum of 15 minutes, every 4 weeks or every 12 weeks for up to 96 weeks based on the participants most recent urine N-telopeptide of type 1 collagen (NTx) measurement (greater than or equal to \[≥\] 50 nanomoles per millimoles \[nmol/mmol\] creatinine or \<50 nmol/mmol creatinine, respectively).

Interventions: intervention 1: zoledronic acid
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: Zoledronic acid concentrate (4 mg/5 milliliters \[ml\]) was diluted in 100 mL sterile 0.9% calcium-free sodium chloride or 5% dextrose injection, administered IV, either 4 or 12 weeks for 96 weeks.
