About this study

Official title: DCA114273: A Study Comparing Denosumab With Zoledronic Acid in Subjects of Asian Ancestry With Bone Metastases From Solid Tumors

This is a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy study designed to provide bridging data in an Asian population to Amgen's studies of denosumab in subjects with bone metastases from solid tumors. The study is designed to provide data to a large global dataset of phase-III studies including breast cancer, prostate cancer, and all solid tumors, plus multiple myeloma, to support the regulatory approval for marketing and patient access to denosumab for the prevention of SREs in Chinese subjects with bone metastases from solid tumors. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate and compare the percent change from baseline to Week 13 in the bone marker urinary amino-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type I collagen (uNTx) corrected for urine creatinine (uNTx/uCr) in subjects treated with denosumab to those treated with zoledronic acid. The study is designed to test the superiority of denosumab over zoledronic acid.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percent Change (Chg) From Baseline (BL) to Week (Wk)13 in Urinary Amino-terminal Cross-linking Telopeptide of Type I Collagen Corrected for Urine Creatinine (uNTx/uCr)

    uNTx/uCr is the bone turnover marker correlated with the presence and extent of metastases, and the prognosis and response to bone targeted treatment (trt). uNTx/uCr was expressed in nanomoles bone collagen equivalent per millimole (nM BCE/mM). Primary objective: to compare the effect of denosumab with that of zoledronic acid on % chg from BL in uNTx/uCr at Wk 13 in par. of Asian ancestry with bone metastases from solid tumors. BL value is the most recent, non-missing value prior to or on the 1st study trt dose date. Chg from BL is the value at Wk13 minus BL value. Percent chg from BL is the chg from BL / BL value * 100. For missing Wk 13 observations, the last post-BL value was carried forward to obtain the Wk 13 value.

    Measured: Baseline (BL) and Week (Wk) 13

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Percentage Change From Baseline to Week 13 in Urinary Amino-terminal Cross-linking Telopeptide of Type I Collagen of Type I Collagen Corrected for Urine Creatinine (uNTx/uCr) in Chinese Participants.

    uNTx/uCr is the bone turnover marker correlated with the presence and extent of metastases, and the prognosis and response to bone targeted treatment. uNTx/uCr was expressed in nanomoles bone collagen equivalent per millimole (nM BCE/mM). Secondary objective: to compare the effect of denosumab with that of zoledronic acid on % chg from BL in uNTx/uCr at Wk 13 in par. of Chinese ancestry with bone metastases from solid tumors. Baseline value is the most recent, non-missing value prior to or on the first study treatment dose date. Change from Baseline is the value at Week 13 minus Baseline value. Percent chg from BL is the chg from BL / BL value * 100. For missing Wk 13 observations, the last post-BL value was carried forward to obtain the Wk 13 value.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 13

  2. Percentage Change From Baseline to Week 13 in Urinary Amino-terminal Cross-linking Telopeptide of Type I Collagen of Type I Collagen Corrected for Urine Creatinine (uNTx/uCr) in Participants With Advanced Breast Cancer.

    uNTx/uCr is the bone turnover marker correlated with the presence and extent of metastases, and the prognosis and response to bone targeted treatment. uNTx/uCr was expressed in nanomoles bone collagen equivalent per millimole (nM BCE/mM). Secondary objective: to compare the effect of denosumab with that of zoledronic acid on % chg from BL in uNTx/uCr at Wk 13 in breast cancer par. with bone metastases from solid tumors. Baseline value is the most recent, non-missing value prior to or on the first study treatment dose date. Change from Baseline is the value at Week 13 minus Baseline value. Percent chg from BL is the chg from BL / BL value * 100. For missing Wk 13 observations, the last post-BL value was carried forward to obtain the Wk 13 value.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 13

  3. Percent Change From Baseline in the Serum Bone-specific Alkaline Phosphatase (s-BALP) at Week 13.

    Baseline value is the most recent, non-missing value prior to or on the first study treatment dose date. Change from Baseline is the value at Indicated visit minus Baseline value. Percent change from Baseline is the change from Baseline divided by Baseline value multiplied by 100.

    Measured: Baseline and Week 13

  4. Number of Participants With Any Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (Non-fatal Serious Adverse Events and Fatal Serious Adverse Events)

    An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product. A serious adverse event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose results in death, is life-threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, or is a congenital anomaly/birth defect or other events that may jeopardize the participant or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcome listed above, liver injury and impaired liver function and grade 4 laboratory abnormalities. Number of participants with any AEs, non-fatal SAEs, fatal SAEs have been presented.

    Measured: From start of IP through the Study Phase (49 weeks post-dose) (assessed up to 73 weeks)

  5. Number of Participants With Worst-case (WC) On-therapy Increase in the Indicated Clinical Chemistry Parameters From Baseline Grade to the Indicated Grade.

    Clinical chemistry parameters were measured at the Screening and Weeks 2, 5, 9, 13, 25, 37, and 53 visits. Clinical chemistry parameters measured on-study included albumin, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin, calcium (Ca), creatinine, magnesium, and phosphorous (P) inorganic. All reported values are of participants with worst-case on-therapy increase to the specified grade: Any increase, that is, worst-case increase to grade 1, 2, 3, or 4 (any grade); worst-case increase to grade 3 (WC G3); and worst-case increase to grade 4 (WC G4). The National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) was used for grading. Participants with missing Baseline grade were assumed to have a Baseline grade of 0. The worst-case during the on-therapy period was determined taking into account both scheduled and unscheduled assessments.

    Measured: Baseline and up to last study-related visit (up to 53 weeks)

  6. Number of Participants With Worst-case On-therapy Increase in the Indicated Hematology Parameters From Baseline Grade to the Indicated Grade.

    Hematology parameters included hemoglobin, lymphocytes, platelet count, total neutrophils, white blood cell (WBC) count.
