Study to Compare the Effects of Drug Darolutamide and Drug Enzalutamide on Physical Function, Including Balance and Daily Activity, in Patients With Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC)
- Conditions
- Prostatic Cancer, Castration-Resistant
- Interventions
- Registration Number
- NCT04157088
- Lead Sponsor
- Bayer
- Brief Summary
Researchers in this study want to compare the effects of drug darolutamide and drug enzalutamide on physical function, including balance and daily activity, in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Both darolutamide and enzalutamide are approved AR inhibitors used for the treatment of patients with CRPC. AR inhibitor is a substance that keeps androgens (male sex hormones) from binding to proteins called androgen receptors, which are found in normal prostate cells, some prostate cancer cells, and in some other cells. Preventing this binding blocks the effects of these hormones in the body and therefore keeps prostate cancer cells from growing. Patients participating this study will receive either darolutamide or enzalutamide tablets. To evaluate the physical function, patients will be asked to make some movements like rising from a chair, walking three meters, etc. Additionally, researchers also want to find out the survival of patients and if patients have fatigue (feeling tired), cognitive (learning and thinking) problems, or other medical problems during the trial. Brand name of darolutamide is Nubeqa; brand name of enzalutamide is Xtandi.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Number of Participants With a Worsening in TUG Time During the 24- Week Period. Up to 24 weeks TUG: Timed Up \& Go. Worsening is defined as an increase of at least 1 second in TUG time from baseline. (The minimum clinically important difference \[MCID\] in TUG time is 1 second
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Number of Participants With an Increase of at Least 1 Second in TUG Time at 12 and 24 Weeks and During the 52 Weeks. At 12 week, 24 week and 52 week. Worsening was defined as an increase of at least 1 second in TUG time from baseline.
Improved was defined at least 1 second decrease from baseline. Stable was defined as change from baseline between less than 1 second increase and less than 1 second decrease.Time to Worsening (Increase of at Least 1 Second) in TUG Time From randomization to the first date a participant had a worsening. At the end of the lead-in phase, the overall feasibility of the study execution was assessed and decided not to proceed with the randomized phase. Therefore, data on this outcome which needed to be collected in the randomized phase was unavailable.
Mean Change From Baseline in Accelerometer-assessed Proportion of Time Spent in Light to Vigorous Physical Activity Based on a Threshold of >100 Activity Counts Per Minute. At 12, 24, and 52 weeks for the randomization phase At the end of the lead-in phase, the overall feasibility of the study execution was assessed and decided not to proceed with the randomized phase. Therefore, data on this outcome which needed to be collected in the randomized phase was unavailable.
Number of Participants With a Worsening in SPPB Total Score at 12 and 24 Weeks and During the 24 Weeks and 52 Weeks From Baseline. At 12 and 24 weeks and during the 24 weeks and 52 weeks from baseline The SPPB is a group of measures that combines the results of the gait speed, chair stand and balance tests. The composite SPPB score ranges from 0 (worst performance) to 12 (best performance)
Mean Change From Baseline in Daily Physical Activity as Assessed by CPM, at 12 and 24 Weeks, and During the 24 Weeks and 52 Weeks From Baseline. At 12 week, 24 week and 52 week Participants required at least 2 valid days to be included in the analysis at each visit. 'Valid' is defined as at least 10 awake wear hours. CPM for each valid day is defined as 'awake wear-filtered total vector magnitude counts' divided by 'awake wear minutes''. A participant's CPM at each visit is the average of daily CPM.
Number of Participants With a Decline in Cognitive Function During the 24 Weeks and 52 Weeks From Baseline, as Assessed by HVLT-R. During the 24 weeks and 52 weeks from baseline. The HVLT-R is a learning and memory test, in which the participant is asked to learn and recall a list of 12 words over three trials. The HVLT-R TR (total score) score ranges from 0 to 36, where higher scores indicated greater verbal learning and recall. The HVLT-R DR (delayed recall) score ranges from 0 to 12, where higher scores indicated greater verbal learning and recall. The HVLT-R RECOG (Delayed Recognition) score ranges from -12 to 12, where higher scores indicated better performance.
Number of Participants With a Decline in Cognitive Function During the 24 Weeks and 52 Weeks From Baseline, as Assessed by TMT. During the 24 weeks and 52 weeks from baseline. TMT Part A (TMTA) is timed up to a maximum of 3 minutes, and TMT Part B (TMTB) is timed up to a maximum of 5 minutes. The lower score indicated the better performance.
Number of Participants With a Decline in Cognitive Function During the 24 Weeks and 52 Weeks From Baseline, as Assessed by COWA. During the 24 weeks and 52 weeks from baseline. The COWA test assessed lexical fluency. Given a specific letter of the alphabet, participants were required to produce as many words as possible that begin with that letter. There were two alternate forms of the COWA, each with three unique letter exemplars. The lowest possible score is zero, meaning no words could be produced. There is no limit to the higher end of the scale given that participants can produce as many words as possible for each of the three letters. Higher scores indicate greater word retrieval and better cognitive function.

BFI: Brief Fatigue Inventory. BFI is a 5 minute self-assessment tool that identifies fatigue in cancer participants over a 24-hour period.Number of Participants With a Decline Using a Selected Domain of Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Cognitive (FACT-Cog). During the 24 weeks and 52 weeks from baseline. FACT-Cog with a range of 0-28 points, higher score is better. Decline was defined as a decrease of \>10 points during the 24 weeks and 52 weeks from baseline.
Number of Participants With a Worsening of Fatigue During the 24 Weeks and 52 Weeks. Up to 52 weeks in randomization phase. At the end of the lead-in phase, the overall feasibility of the study execution was assessed and decided not to proceed with the randomized phase. Therefore, data on this outcome which needed to be collected in the randomized phase was unavailable.

Up to 52 weeks in randomization phase At the end of the lead-in phase, the overall feasibility of the study execution was assessed and decided not to proceed with the randomized phase. Therefore, data on this outcome which needed to be collected in the randomized phase was unavailable.
Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent AEs, SAEs, and AEs Leading to Study Intervention Discontinuation Up to 52 weeks Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) were defined as any events arising or worsening after the first dose of study drug until 30 days after last dose.
SAEs: Serious adverse eventsNumber of Participants With AEs of Interest, Including Falls, Fractures, and Hypothyroidism Up to 52 weeks AEs of interest were followed up regardless of causality or relationship to study intervention.
Time to Deterioration of Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS) Defined as at Least a 10 Point Decline From Baseline. From randomization to the first date the participant had had a decline in KPS of at least 10 points. At the end of the lead-in phase, the overall feasibility of the study execution was assessed and decided not to proceed with the randomized phase. Therefore, data on this outcome which needed to be collected in the randomized phase was unavailable.
Number of Participants With Treatment Exposure of the Study Intervention Including Time on Treatment Up to 52 weeks A total of 30 participants received treatment with darolutamide 600 mg twice daily in the lead-in phase of the study, comprising the safety evaluable population.
No participant received either darolutamide or enzalutamide in the randomized phase of the study as the study was terminated prematurely prior to the initiation of the randomized phase of the study.Number of Participants With Dose Reductions of Study Intervention Up to 52 weeks in randomization phase At the end of the lead-in phase, the overall feasibility of the study execution was assessed and decided not to proceed with the randomized phase.
