Radium-223ExperimentalRadium Ra 223 dichloride will be administered as a bolus intravenous (IV) injection (up to 1 minute) at intervals of every 4 weeks for up to 6 cycles. The dosage of Radium Ra 223 dichloride after implementation of the new 2015 NIST standard is 55kBq/kg body weight.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With 30% Decline in the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) Worst Pain Item From Baseline to Week 8

    Defined as a 30% decline in the Brief Pain Inventory/BPI worse pain item from baseline to week 8, with a confirmed reduction at week 12 without an escalation of the subject's pain regimen from Step 1 to Step 2 or Step 2 to Step 3 of the WHO analgesic ladder.) The baseline BPI worst pain score average will be based on the worst pain scores completed by the participant in the 7 consecutive pretreatment days. A minimum of 4 days of pain scores must be completed by the participant in the 7 day window in order to calculate the average worst pain score. The BPI scale defines pain as follows: Worst Pain Score: 1 - 4 = Mild Pain. Worst Pain Score: 5 - 6 = Moderate Pain. Worst Pain Score: 7 - 10 = Severe Pain.

    Measured: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Participants With Changes in Bone Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP)

    Number of participants with changes from baseline to 12 weeks (or earlier for those who discontinue study therapy). Maximum change (rise or fall) in bone Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) during the treatment period reported.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. Number of Participants With Changes in Other Bone Markers:

    Serum C-telopeptide (sCTX-1) N-terminal propeptide of procollagen type 1 (PINP) Changes in total-ALP will be defined as for bone-ALP above

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Radium-223 in people with Metastatic Prostate Cancer and Pain, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 3 sites in United States.

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 23 inclusion and 18 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 7 Apr 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 7 Apr 2023). 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?

Percentage of Participants With 30% Decline in the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) Worst Pain Item From Baseline to Week 8 (time frame: 8 weeks). 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 7 Apr 2023.
