Pain Evaluation in Radium-223 Treated Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer Patients With Bone Metastases

Completed
Conditions
Castration-Resistant Prostatic Cancer
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02398526
Lead Sponsor
Bayer
Brief Summary

This observational prospective single arm cohort study is designed to assess pain and bone pain related quality of life of metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC) patients receiving Radium-223 in a real life nuclear medicine practice setting. In addition, overall survival, time to next tumor treatment (TTNT), time to first symptomatic skeletal event (SSE), course of blood counts, and safety will be assessed.

Radium-223 dichlorideRadium-223 dichloride, (Xofigo, BAY88-8223)Male patients with a diagnosis of CRPC with symptomatic bone metastases without known visceral metastases will be enrolled after the decision for treatment with Radium-223 has been made by the attending physician according to his/her medical practice.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Pain responseUp to 6 months

Determined by the worst pain item on the Brief Pain Inventory - Short Form (BPI-SF) patient questionnaire. A clinically meaningful pain response is defined as an improvement of two points from the baseline BPI-SF worst pain score at any post-baseline assessment.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time to first pain progressionUp to 6 months

Defined as the time between the first injection of Radium-223 until an increase in the BPI-SF worst pain item by at least two points

Summary description of covariates on pain responseUp to 6 months

The following covariates will be analyzed: opioid use, assessment of extent of bone metastases, location of bone metastases,level of alkaline phosphatase at baseline, PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) level at baseline, WHO pain score at baseline, pretreatment with chemotherapy (yes/no), pretreatment with deep androgen ablation by treatment with abiraterone or enzalutamide (yes/no), extent of bone uptake in known lesions, BSI

Number of participants with Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAE)Up to 6 months
Overall survivalUp to 5.5 years

Defined as the time interval from the start of Radium-223 therapy to death, due to any cause. Patients alive at the end of the study will be censored at the last date known to be alive.

Bone Scan Index (BSI) as Imaging Biomarker in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC)Up to 6 months

Evaluated by comparing BSI values before and after Radium-223 treatment as well as by investigating the association of BSI with other outcome parameters like OS

Change in bone pain related quality of lifeUp to 6 months from baseline

As determined by patient responses on the bone pain specific Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Quality of Life Measurement in patients with bone pain (FACT-BP) questionnaire

Pain control rateUp to 6 months

As determined by the worst pain item on the BPI-SF patient questionnaire. Pain control is defined as no increase by two points from the baseline BPI-SF worst pain score.

Pain progression rateUp to 6 months

As determined by the worst pain item on the BPI-SF patient questionnaire. Pain progression is defined as an increase by two points from the baseline BPI-SF worst pain score at any post baseline assessment.

Incidence of pathological fractures, non-pathological fractures and bone associated events during treatment and follow upUp to 5.5 years
Time to first opioid useUp to 5.5 years
Relation between bone uptake in known lesions and pain palliationUp to 6 months

Only in patients with bone scan prior to start of treatment and a second scan during or within 6 weeks after end of Radium-223 treatment

Course of blood count presented as percentage of patients below limit for further injections according to the local product informationUp to 5 months
Change of pain over timeUp to 6 months from baseline

Determined by evaluating the worst pain item as well as the subscale scores for pain severity and pain interference as determined by patient responses on the BPI-SF questionnaire.

Dosage of Radium-223Up to 5 months
Number of injections of Radium-223Up to 5 months
Time to next tumor treatment(s) (TTNT)Up to 5.5 years

Defined as the time from the first application of Radium-223 until start of next mCRPC treatment including e.g. chemotherapy and/or hormonal treatment

Time to first symptomatic skeletal event (SSE)Up to 5.5 years

Defined as the time between the first injection of Radium-223 until the occurrence of first SSE defined as the first use of external beam radiation therapy to relieve skeletal symptoms, new symptomatic pathological vertebral or non-vertebral bone fractures, spinal cord compression, or tumor-related orthopedic surgical intervention

Time from castration resistance to treatment with Radium-223First treatment

Time from verified castration resistance to first injection of Radium-223

Effect of concomitant drug treatment on pain, quality of life, and overall survivalUp to 5.5 years

Exploration of the influence of abiraterone, enzalutamide, opioids and denosumab on OS by number of injections (5-6 vs. 1-4)

Description of covariates on duration of therapyUp to 6 months

Description of covariates on duration of therapy (to get ≥ 5 injections versus ≤ 4 injections) of mCRPC patients during treatment with Radium-223.

Factors positively influencing mCRPC patients to get ≥ 5 injections versus ≤ 4 injectionsUp to 6 months

(e.g. concomitant use of antihormonal therapy, no pre-treatment of chemotherapy)
