About this study

This is an open label study designed to examine the effects on concurrent administration of Radium Ra 223 dichloride and Abiraterone Acetate plus Prednisone in subjects with symptomatic castrate resistant prostate cancer and with bone metastases, in both the pre- and post- chemotherapy setting. Both medications are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for this indication.

Read the detailed description

Approximately 40 subjects will be enrolled to obtain 30 evaluable subjects. All subjects will receive Radium Ra 223 dichloride every 4 weeks for a total of 6 doses over 24 weeks and concurrent Abiraterone Acetate plus Prednisone for a minimum duration of 26 weeks.

Subjects will be evaluated 30 days after the last dose of Radium Ra 223 dichloride. All adverse events deemed to be study related will be followed until resolution. Including screening, the total duration of the study is 32 weeks.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Concurrent use of Radium Ra 223 dichloride and Abiraterone Acetate plus PrednisoneDrug

    Also called Xofigo, Zytiga

    Radium Ra 223 dichloride - A targeted alpha particle-emitting pharmaceutical (a radiopharmaceutical drug) is a ready-to-use solution for intravenous injection containing the drug substance radium dichloride. The active moiety is the alpha particle emitting nuclide Ra-223, present as a divalent cation (223Ra2+) and Abiraterone Acetate - A CYP17 inhibitor, indicated in combination with prednisone for the treatment of subjects with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Administration of Abiraterone Acetate may result in mineralocorticoid-related adverse events (AEs), due to CYP17 inhibition. Therefore, Abiraterone Acetate is administered in combination with Prednisone to reduce the frequency of these AEs.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number and Percentage of Participants With Clinically Meaningful Improvement (Between Baseline and End of Treatment) in Quality-of-Life Determined by the Minimum Increase From Baseline in Scores as Per the QOL CMI Criteria

    Following Quality of Life questionnaires were given at each visit:

    FACT-P assesses symptoms/problems related to prostate carcinoma and its treatment. It is a combination of the FACT- General + the PCS (Range 1-156, higher scores better).

    The FACT-General (FACT-G) is a 28 item QOL measure that provides a total score as well as subscale scores: Physical (0-28), Functional (0-28), Social (0-28), Emotional (0-24) Well-being, and Satisfaction with Treatment was not assessed for this study (The total range was between 1-108, higher scores better)

    FACT-TOI is derived from the sum of the Physical Well-Being, Functional Well-Being, and Prostate Cancer subscale scores; a sensitive measure of patient-reported health (Range 1-104, higher scores better)

    PCS is a 12-item prostate cancer subscale that asks about symptoms and problems specific to prostate cancer (Range 0-48, higher scores better).

    Measured: Subjects were evaluated at the screening visit, monthly during the study, and 30 days after the last dose of Radium Ra 223 dichloride, which will be approximately 32 weeks after the screening visit of evaluable subjects.

  2. Number and Percentage of Participants With Clinically Meaningful Improvement (CMI) in Pain (Between Baseline and End of Treatment)

    Improvement in Bone Pain was assessed using the Bone Pain Inventory (BPI)

    1. Pain Severity: Pain severity is the composite of scores of worst pain, least pain, average pain, and pain now. CMI criteria: Decrease >30% at two consecutive visits in Pain Severity Score in 24 hours without an increase in analgesic use.
    2. Pain interference: Pain interference is the composite scores on general activity, mood, walking ability, normal work, relationships with others, sleep and enjoyment of life. CMI criteria: Decrease by 1.25 points or more compared with baseline at two consecutive visits.
    3. Transient Pain Flare: Based on the work of Atkinson et al, a transient pain flare was assessed by pain at its worst in 24 hours. CMI criteria: > 2 points on the BPI-SF Worst Pain scale and subsequent reduction after initiation of Ra-223 and during the first 3 cycles.

    Measured: Subjects were evaluated at the screening visit, monthly during the study, and 30 days after the last dose of Radium Ra 223 dichloride, which will be approximately 32 weeks after the screening visit of evaluable subjects.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Safety Data Was Analyzed and Summarized in Subjects Who Receive at Least One Infusion of Radium Ra 223 Dichloride. Number of Adverse Events Are Being Reported.

    All adverse events relevant to advanced mCRPC subjects as well as adverse events of interest for both Abiraterone Acetate plus Prednisone and Radium Ra 223 dichloride will be reported.

    Measured: Subjects were evaluated at the screening visit, monthly during the study, and 30 days after the last dose of Radium Ra 223 dichloride, which will be approximately 32 weeks after the screening visit of evaluable subjects.

  2. Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) and Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Levels Before and After Treatment

    [Not specified]

    Measured: Baseline and End of Treatment (EOT), approximately 32 weeks from Baseline

  3. Radiologic Assessment Mean Number of Bone Lesions Before and After the Treatment

    [Not Specified]

    Measured: Baseline and End of Treatment (EOT), approximately 32 weeks from Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Concurrent use of Radium Ra 223 dichloride and Abiraterone Acetate plus Prednisone in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Carolina Research Professionals, LLC at 5 sites in United States.

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 30 inclusion and 24 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 1 Feb 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in United States. 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 phase mean?

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 1 Feb 2018). 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 and Percentage of Participants With Clinically Meaningful Improvement (Between Baseline and End of Treatment) in Quality-of-Life Determined by the Minimum Increase From Baseline in Scores as Per the QOL CMI Criteria (time frame: Subjects were evaluated at the screening visit, monthly during the study, and 30 days after the last dose of Radium Ra 223 dichloride, which will be approximately 32 weeks after the screening visit of evaluable subjects.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 1 Feb 2018.
