Trial summary

RATIONALE: Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. This may be an effective treatment for prostate cancer. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A PROSPECTIVE MULTICENTER RANDOMIZED STUDY COMPARING STRONTIUM-89 CHLORIDE AND PALLIATIVE LOCAL FIELD RADIOTHERAPY IN PATIENTS WITH HORMONAL ESCAPED ADVANCED PROSTATIC CANCER

RATIONALE: Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. This may be an effective treatment for prostate cancer.

PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of strontium or radiation therapy in treating patients with prostate cancer that is refractory to hormone therapy who have painful bone metastases.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Compare, in a randomized Phase III setting, the subjective response rate, time to progression, and survival of patients with hormone-refractory prostate cancer with painful osseous metastases treated with either strontium-89 or palliative local radiotherapy. II. Compare the quality of life achieved on these two regimens. III. Determine the toxicity and morbidity of treatment on these two regimens. IV. Compare the cost effectiveness of these two regimens.

OUTLINE: Randomized study. Arm I: Radioisotope therapy. Strontium-89 chloride, Strontium-89. Arm II: Radiotherapy. Involved-field irradiation (equipment unspecified).

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: 200 patients will be entered over 2 years.

Being tested

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing strontium chloride Sr 89 in people with Metastatic Cancer and Prostate Cancer, run by European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer - EORTC at 21 sites in 9 countries.

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

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Sep 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 21 sites in Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Poland and 4 more countries. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00002503, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 24 Sep 2012.
