What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Overall Survival (OS)
OS was defined as the time interval from the date of randomization to the date of death due to any cause. In the absence of confirmation of death, survival time was censored at the last date participant was known to be alive, or at the cut-off date if the participant's last contact was after the cut-off date. The study cut-off date for the final analysis of OS was the date when the 774th death had been observed. Analysis was performed by Kaplan-Meier method.
Measured: Baseline up to death or study cut-off date, whichever was earlier (maximum duration: 51 months )
Secondary outcomes (10)
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
PFS: time interval between date of randomization to date of first occurrence of any of following events: tumor progression according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1; Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) progression; pain progression or death due to any cause. Analysis was performed by Kaplan-Meier method.
Measured: Baseline up to tumor progression, PSA progression, pain progression or death (maximum duration: 51 months)
Time to Tumor Progression Free Survival
Time to tumor progression free survival was defined as the time interval between randomization and the date of first occurrence of tumor progression (assessed using RECIST version 1.1) or death, whichever was earlier. Analysis was performed by Kaplan-Meier method.
Measured: Baseline up to tumor progression or death due to any cause or study cut-off date, whichever was earlier (maximum duration: 51 months)
Percentage of Participants With Overall Objective Tumor Response
Overall objective tumor response was defined as having a partial response (PR) or complete response (CR) according to the RECIST version 1.1. CR was defined as disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and normalization of tumor marker level. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm. PR was defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters.
Measured: Baseline up to DP or death due to any cause or study cut-off date, whichever was earlier (maximum duration: 51 months)
Time to Prostate Serum Antigen Progression Free Survival (PSA-PFS)
Time to PSA-PFS: time interval between date of randomization \& first occurrence of PSA progression/ death, whichever was earlier. PSA progression:1) In PSA responders(≥50% decline from baseline PSA of ≥10 ng/mL):increase of ≥25%(at least 2 ng/mL)over nadir value, confirmed by second PSA value at least 3 weeks later;2)In PSA non-responders(not achieved ≥50% decline from baseline PSA ≥10 ng/mL):increase of ≥25% (at least 2 ng/mL) over baseline value, confirmed by second PSA value at least 3 weeks later;3)In participants not eligible for PSA response(baseline PSA <10 ng/mL):(a)in participants with baseline PSA>0 ng/mL\&<10 ng/mL: increase in PSA by 25% (at least 2 ng/mL) above baseline level, confirmed by second PSA value at least 3weeks apart;(b)in participants with baseline value=0ng/mL: a post baseline PSA value ≥2ng/mL.Early rise in PSA only indicated progression if it was associated with another sign of DP or if it continued beyond 12 weeks. Analysis performed by Kaplan-Meier method.
Measured: Baseline up to PSA progression or death due to any cause or study cut-off date, whichever was earlier (maximum duration: 51 months)
Percentage of Participants With PSA Response
PSA response was defined as ≥50% decrease from baseline in serum PSA levels, confirmed by a second PSA value at least 3 weeks later in participants with baseline PSA value ≥10 ng/mL.
Measured: Baseline up to PSA progression or death due to any cause or study cut-off date, whichever was earlier (maximum duration: 51 months)
Time to Pain Progression Free Survival (Pain PFS)
Time to pain PFS was defined as the time interval between date of randomization and the date of the first occurrence of pain progression or death, whichever was earlier. Pain progression was defined as an increase of ≥1 point in the median present pain intensity (PPI) score from the nadir confirmed by a second assessment at least 3 weeks later or ≥25 % increase in the mean analgesic score from baseline, due to cancer related pain confirmed by a second assessment at least 3 weeks later or requirement for local palliative radiotherapy. PPI was rated by participant in a diary using a scale of 0=no pain, 1=mild, 2=discomforting, 3=distressing, 4=horrible 5=excruciating. Analgesic use was recorded by the participant in a diary. Analgesic score was calculated from the analgesic use data based on a table of analgesic medications, with non-narcotic medications assigned a value of 1 point and narcotic medications assigned a value of 4 points. Analysis was performed by Kaplan-Meier method.
Measured: Baseline until disease progression, death or study cut-off date (maximum duration: 51 months)
Percentage of Participants With Pain Response
Pain response was defined as either a ≥2-point decrease from baseline median PPI score without increase in analgesic score, or a ≥50% decrease in analgesic use from baseline mean analgesic score (only in participants with baseline mean analgesic score≥10) without increase in the pain. Either criterion was maintained for 2 consecutive evaluations at least 3 weeks apart. PPI was rated by participant in a diary using a scale of 0=no pain, 1=mild, 2=discomforting, 3=distressing, 4=horrible 5=excruciating. Analgesic use was recorded by the participant in a diary. Analgesic score was calculated from the analgesic use data based on a table of analgesic medications, with non-narcotic medications assigned a value of 1 point and narcotic medications assigned a value of 4 points.
Measured: Baseline until pain progression, death or study cut-off date (maximum duration: 51 months)
Skeletal Related Events (SRE) Free Survival
SRE free survival was defined as the time interval between the date of randomization and the date of the occurrence of the first event defining a SRE or death due to any cause, whichever was earlier. SRE were assessed by clinical evaluation. Occurrence of SRE was defined as: pathological fracture(s) and/or spinal cord compression; need for bone irradiation, including radioisotopes or bone surgery; and change of antineoplastic therapy (including introduction of bisphosphonates or denosumab in the setting of increased pain) to treat bone pain. Analysis was performed by Kaplan-Meier method.
Measured: Baseline until occurrence of first SRE or death (maximum duration: 51 months)
Change From Baseline in Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Prostate (FACT-P) Total Score as a Measure of Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL)
FACT-P was a 39-item participant rated questionnaire that measures the concerns of participants with prostate cancer. It consisted of 5 sub-scales assessing physical well-being (7 items), social/family well-being (7 items), emotional well-being (6 items), functional well-being (7 items), and prostate-specific concerns (12 items). FACT-P total score was the sum of all 5 subscale scores. It ranged from 0 to156 with higher score indicated better quality of life with fewer symptoms.
Measured: Baseline, Day 1 of each cycle 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 (each cycle 21-day); post-treatment follow up 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (each up to 12 weeks)
Change From Baseline in Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Prostate (FACT-P):Trial Outcome Index (TOI) as a Measure of HRQoL
FACT-P was a 39-item participant rated questionnaire that measures the concerns of participants with prostate cancer. It consisted of 5 sub-scales assessing physical well-being (7 items), social/family well-being (7 items), emotional well-being (6 items), functional well-being (7 items), and prostate-specific concerns (12 items). Physical well being, functional well being, and prostate-specific concerns sub-scales of the FACT-P questionnaire were combined to calculate TOI. Total TOI score ranges from 0 to 104, with higher scores representing a better quality of life with fewer symptoms.
Measured: Baseline, Day 1 of each cycle 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 (each cycle 21-day); post-treatment follow up 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (each up to 12 weeks)

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Primary Objective:
- To demonstrate the superiority of cabazitaxel plus prednisone at 25 mg/m^2 (Arm A) or 20 mg/m^2 (Arm B) versus docetaxel plus prednisone (Arm C) in term of overall survival (OS) in participants with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and not previously treated with chemotherapy.
Secondary Objectives:
- To evaluate safety in the 3 treatment arms.
- To compare efficacy of cabazitaxel at 20 mg/m^2 and 25 mg/m^2 to docetaxel for:
- Progression Free Survival (PFS) (RECIST 1.1)
- Tumor progression free survival (RECIST 1.1)
- Tumor response in participants with measurable disease (RECIST 1.1),
- PSA response
- PSA-Progression free survival (PSA-PFS).
- Pain response in participants with stable pain at baseline
- Pain progression free survival
- Time to occurrence of any skeletal related events (SRE)
- To compare Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQL).
- To assess the pharmacokinetics and pharmacogenomics of cabazitaxel.
Detailed description
Participants were treated until progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, or participant's refusal of further study treatment. All participants were followed when on study treatment and after completion of study treatment during follow up period until death or the study cutoff date, whichever comes first.

Primary outcome
Overall Survival (OS)
Time frame: Baseline up to death or study cut-off date, whichever was earlier (maximum duration: 51 months )
OS was defined as the time interval from the date of randomization to the date of death due to any cause. In the absence of confirmation of death, survival time was censored at the last date participant was known to be alive, or at the cut-off date if the participant's last contact was after the cut-off date. The study cut-off date for the final analysis of OS was the date when the 774th death had been observed. Analysis was performed by Kaplan-Meier method.
10 secondary outcomes

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 4 inclusion and 20 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 5 Jun 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 167 sites in United States, Australia, France, Ukraine, Mexico and 20 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 3 Mar 2017). 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?
Overall Survival (OS) (time frame: Baseline up to death or study cut-off date, whichever was earlier (maximum duration: 51 months )). 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 NCT01308567, which also lists 6 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 5 Jun 2019.
