About this study

Official title: A Prospective Study to Evaluate the Incidence of Skeletal Related Events In Prostate Cancer Patients Undergoing Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT).

Prostate Cancer patients treated with LHRH agonists (e.g., goserelin) lose Bone Mineral Density (BMD). Using a prospective, observational study design, we propose that monitoring how physicians manage Cancer Treatment Induced Bone Loss(CTIBL) in their patients. The gold standard for evaluating BMD is dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). The proposed study will provide some of the first prospective data on the rates of Skeletal Related Events (SREs) in prostate cancer patients undergoing ADT and help develop official guidelines on the use of DEXA screening for prostate cancer patients.

Read the detailed description

A consequence of ADT is the gradual bone loss, so-called cancer treatment induced bone loss (CTIBL). The current standard of care is the addition of Vitamin D and Calcium upon the initiation of ADT. Moreover, bisphosphonates are now being considered to treat and prevent CTIBL. However, bisphosphonates are costly, thus there is a desire to identify or target a specific subset of patients who would most benefit from the treatment.

By obtaining baseline BMD and monitoring for Skeletal Related Events (SREs), we hope to identify that specific sub-set of patients who would most benefit from the treatment. Using a prospective, observational study design, we propose monitoring how physicians manage CTIBL in their patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prostate Cancer, run by CMX Research at 40 sites in Canada.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 28 Sep 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 40 sites in Canada. 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.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Bone Mineral Density of the lumbar spine (time frame: 12 months). 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 28 Sep 2017.
