About this study

Official title: Radium-223 Alpha Emitter Agent in Non-intervention Safety Study in mCRPC popUlation for Long-teRm Evaluation

Observational study in the routine clinical practice setting to evaluate the short and long term safety profile of Radium-223 in metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer patients and to evaluate the risk of developing second primary cancers.

Being tested
Radium-223 dichloride (Xofigo, BAY88-8223)
Keywords
Radium-223, CRPC, Phase IV, Safety study

What participants receive

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

  • Radium-223 dichloride (Xofigo, BAY88-8223)Drug

    This is a non-interventional study, the drug is used in its authorized indication from commercial supply. The decision to treat with Radium-223 will be agreed upon between the physician and the patient independently and prior to providing the patient study information. Treatment with Radium-223 should follow the approved local product information.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Radium-223 dichloride (Xofigo, BAY88-8223)Single-arm cohort observational study with CRPC patients with bone metastasis treated with Radium-223.
Receives: Drug: Radium-223 dichloride (Xofigo, BAY88-8223)

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Second Primary Malignancies (SPM)

    Second primary malignancies (SPMs) are defined as new malignancies unrelated to prostate cancer or progression of prostate cancer. All types of SPMs will be collected irrespectively of their relationship to Radium-223. All reported SPMs will be summarized as assessed by the physician

    Measured: From the initiation of Radium-223 (treatment period up to 6 months which includes 6 cycles every 4 weeks) up to 7 years after the last dose of Radium-223

  2. Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    Treatment-emergent was defined as any event arising or worsening on the day of or after start of radium-223 until 30 days after last injection.

    Measured: From initiation of Radium-223 (treatment period up to 6 months which includes 6 cycles every 4 weeks) up to 30 days after the last administration of Radium-223

  3. Number of Participants With Drug-related Treatment-emergent Adverse Events

    Treatment-emergent was defined as any event arising or worsening on the day of or after start of radium-223 until 30 days after last injection.

    Measured: From initiation of Radium-223 (treatment period up to 6 months which includes 6 cycles every 4 weeks) up to 30 days after the last administration of Radium-223

  4. Number of Participants With Drug-related SAEs

    All drug-related SAEs were collected up to 7 years after the last administration of radium-223.

    Measured: From initiation of Radium-223 (treatment period up to 6 months which includes 6 cycles every 4 weeks), up to 7 years after the last dose of Radium-223

  5. Number of Participants With Therapeutic or Preventive Treatments for Bone Marrow Suppression

    Bone marrow suppression relevant treatments for participants with subsequent chemotherapy (e.g., blood transfusion/erythropoietin/colony growth stimulating factors)

    Measured: From initiation of Radium-223 (treatment period up to 6 months which includes 6 cycles every 4 weeks) up to 6 months after last dose of Radium-223

  6. Incidences of Post-Radium-223 Treatment CTCAE Grade 3/4 Hematological Toxicities Based on Bone Marrow Suppression

    Hematological toxicities were summarized by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) coding system and the worst grade. The grading system ranges from Grade 1 (mild) to Grade 5 (death). The percentage of participants with post-radium-223 treatment CTCAE grade 3 or 4 hematological toxicities that occurred within 183 days from last radium-223 injection are reported

    Measured: From last Radium-223 dose up to 6 months post last dose of Radium-223

  7. Bone Marrow Suppression: Number of Participants With Abnormal Platelet Count or White Blood Cell Count (WBC)

    Participants with a platelet count or WBC less than the lower limit of normal at 6 months post last dose of Radium- 223

    Measured: From 30 days after last dose of Radium-223 up to 6 months after last dose

  8. Bone Marrow Suppression: Number of Participants Who Underwent Subsequent Chemotherapy That Experienced Febrile Neutropenia or Hemorrhage

    Participants who receive subsequent cytotoxic chemotherapy were followed for the development of febrile neutropenia and hemorrhage up to 6 months after the last administration of chemotherapy at a frequency based on local clinical practice.

    Measured: From first dose of subsequent chemotherapy up to 6 months (up to 183 days) after the last administration of chemotherapy

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Overall Survival

    Overall survival was defined as the time interval from the start of Radium-223 therapy to death due to any cause. Patients whose death was not confirmed at the time of data-cut were censored at the last date known to be alive.

    Measured: From initiation of Radium-223 (treatment period up to 6 months which includes 6 cycles every 4 weeks) up to 7 years after the last dose of Radium-223

  2. Worst Pain Score Over Time as Determined by Patient Responses on the "Brief Pain Inventory Short Form" (BPI-SF) Questionnaire

    The Brief pain inventory short form (BPI-SF) questionnaire was used to assess pain severity on a scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain). The BPI-SF questionnaire was requested prior to each injection of Radium-223 and also used at each follow-up visit until 6 months after the last injection of Radium-223. The pain severity score was calculated per visit. Completion of the BPI-SF questionnaire by the patient was voluntary. Since this is an observational study, the treatment regimen may not necessarily follow the recommended schedule of one cycle every 4 weeks for all participants

    Measured: From initiation of Radium-223 (treatment period up to 6 months which includes 6 cycles every 4 weeks) up to 6 months after the last dose of Radium-223

  3. The Pain Interference Score Over Time as Determined by Patient Responses on the "Brief Pain Inventory Short Form" (BPI-SF) Questionnaire

    The Brief pain inventory short form (BPI-SF) questionnaire was used to assess pain interference on a scale from 0 (does not interfere) to 10 (completely interferes). The BPI-SF questionnaire was requested prior to each injection of Radium-223 and also used at each follow-up visit until 6 months after the last injection of Radium-223. The pain interference score was calculated per visit. Completion of the BPI-SF questionnaire by the patient was voluntary Since this is an observational study, the treatment regimen may not necessarily follow the recommended schedule of one cycle every 4 weeks for all participants

    Measured: From initiation of Radium-223 (treatment period up to 6 months which includes 4 cycles every 4 weeks) up to 6 months after the last dose of Radium-223

  4. Percentage of Participants With Bone Fractures

    Bone fractures were identified by MedDRA HLGTs: Fractures: HLGT = "Fractures".

    Measured: From initiation of Radium-223 (treatment period up to 6 months which includes 6 cyles every 4 weeks) up to 7 years post last dose of Radium-223

  5. Percentage of Participants With Bone Associated Events

    Bone associated events were identified by MedDRA HLGTs: Bone associated events: HLGT = "Bone disorders (excl congenital and fractures)"

    Measured: From initiation of Radium-223 (treatment period up to 6 months which includes 6 cyles every 4 weeks) up to 7 years post last dose of Radium-223
