What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Subjects With Dose-Limiting Toxicities - Dose Escalation Part

    DLT was defined as - Absolute neutrophil count grade greater than or equal to (>=) 4 (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [CTCAE], Version 4.0: less than [<] 0.5 × 109 per Liter) lasting longer than 7 days without fever despite granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) support). Platelet count Grade >= 4 (CTCAE, v4.0: < 25× 109/L) lasting longer than 7 days. Diarrhea Grade >= 3 (CTAE, v4.0: increase of >= 7 stools per day over baseline; incontinence; hospitalization indicated; severe increase in ostomy output compared with baseline; limiting self-care in activities of daily living) in spite of optimal use of antidiarrheal medication. Vomiting or constipation Grade >= 4 (CTCAE, v4.0: life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated). Febrile neutropenia Grade >= 3 (CTCAE, v4.0).

    Measured: From randomization until 6 weeks post-injection in all dose cohort of dose-escalation part

  2. Number of Subjects With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAE), Treatment-Emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAE) With a CTCAE Grade of 3 or 4

    Treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAEs) were defined as events that occur following the first injection of study treatment, or that started prior to the first injection and worsened during treatment. An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in a subject who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. An Serious Adverse Event (SAE) was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged in patient hospitalization; lifethreatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent adverse events were defined as adverse events/serious adverse events that started or worsened after the study drug treatment.

    Measured: From start of study treatment to 6 weeks after study treatment (that is maximum 12 weeks in dose escalation; 30 weeks in the expanded safety cohort) and 8 weeks for serious AEs

  13. Number of Subjects With Physical Examination During the Treatment Period

    Any physical examination finding that was classified by the investigator as a clinically significant change (compared with previous examination) was considered an AE, documented on the eCRF, and followed until the outcome was known. The below physical examination findings were recorded and reported. GDASC = General disorders and administration site conditions MND = Metabolism and nutrition disorders SSTD= Skin and subcutaneous tissue disorders MCTD = Musculoskeletal and connective tissue disorders IPPC = Injury, poisoning and procedural complications RTMD = Respiratory, thoracic and mediastinal disorders NBMU = Neoplasms benign, malignant and unspecified (include cysts and polyps) In the below table.

    Measured: From start of study treatment to 6 weeks after study treatment (i.e., maximum 12 weeks in dose escalation; 30 weeks in the expanded safety cohort)

  14. Number of Subjects With Signs of Long-Term Radiation Toxicity

    Long-term radiation toxicity included incidence of potential late toxicity, such as new primary cancers and bone marrow changes (acute myelogenous leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, and aplastic anemia).

    Measured: From start of study treatment upto 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Radium-223 dichloride (Xofigo, BAY88-8223) and Docetaxel in people with Bone Metastases and Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer, run by Bayer at 7 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 18 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Jan 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in United States, France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Nov 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Subjects With Dose-Limiting Toxicities - Dose Escalation Part (time frame: From randomization until 6 weeks post-injection in all dose cohort of dose-escalation part). The study lists 14 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01106352, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Jan 2017.
