About this study

Official title: PARABO - Pain Evaluation in Radium-223 (Xofigo®) Treated mCRPC Patients With Bone Metastases - a Non-interventional Study in Nuclear Medicine Centers

What is being measured

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

  1. Pain response

    Determined by the worst pain item on the Brief Pain Inventory - Short Form (BPI-SF) patient questionnaire. A clinically meaningful pain response is defined as an improvement of two points from the baseline BPI-SF worst pain score at any post-baseline assessment.

    Measured: Up to 6 months

Secondary outcomes (21)
  1. Change of pain over time

    Determined by evaluating the worst pain item as well as the subscale scores for pain severity and pain interference as determined by patient responses on the BPI-SF questionnaire.

    Measured: Up to 6 months from baseline

  2. Change in bone pain related quality of life

    As determined by patient responses on the bone pain specific Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Quality of Life Measurement in patients with bone pain (FACT-BP) questionnaire

    Measured: Up to 6 months from baseline

  3. Pain control rate

    As determined by the worst pain item on the BPI-SF patient questionnaire. Pain control is defined as no increase by two points from the baseline BPI-SF worst pain score.

    Measured: Up to 6 months

  4. Pain progression rate

    As determined by the worst pain item on the BPI-SF patient questionnaire. Pain progression is defined as an increase by two points from the baseline BPI-SF worst pain score at any post baseline assessment.

    Measured: Up to 6 months

  5. Time to first pain progression

    Defined as the time between the first injection of Radium-223 until an increase in the BPI-SF worst pain item by at least two points

    Measured: Up to 6 months

  6. Time to first opioid use

    Measured: Up to 5.5 years

  7. Summary description of covariates on pain response

    The following covariates will be analyzed: opioid use, assessment of extent of bone metastases, location of bone metastases,level of alkaline phosphatase at baseline, PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) level at baseline, WHO pain score at baseline, pretreatment with chemotherapy (yes/no), pretreatment with deep androgen ablation by treatment with abiraterone or enzalutamide (yes/no), extent of bone uptake in known lesions, BSI

    Measured: Up to 6 months

  8. Relation between bone uptake in known lesions and pain palliation

    Only in patients with bone scan prior to start of treatment and a second scan during or within 6 weeks after end of Radium-223 treatment

    Measured: Up to 6 months

  9. Dosage of Radium-223

    Measured: Up to 5 months

  10. Number of injections of Radium-223

    Measured: Up to 5 months

  11. Course of blood count presented as percentage of patients below limit for further injections according to the local product information

    Measured: Up to 5 months

  12. Number of participants with Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAE)

    Measured: Up to 6 months

  13. Time to next tumor treatment(s) (TTNT)

    Defined as the time from the first application of Radium-223 until start of next mCRPC treatment including e.g. chemotherapy and/or hormonal treatment

    Measured: Up to 5.5 years

  14. Time to first symptomatic skeletal event (SSE)

    Defined as the time between the first injection of Radium-223 until the occurrence of first SSE defined as the first use of external beam radiation therapy to relieve skeletal symptoms, new symptomatic pathological vertebral or non-vertebral bone fractures, spinal cord compression, or tumor-related orthopedic surgical intervention

    Measured: Up to 5.5 years

  15. Overall survival

    Defined as the time interval from the start of Radium-223 therapy to death, due to any cause. Patients alive at the end of the study will be censored at the last date known to be alive.

    Measured: Up to 5.5 years

  16. Bone Scan Index (BSI) as Imaging Biomarker in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC)

    Evaluated by comparing BSI values before and after Radium-223 treatment as well as by investigating the association of BSI with other outcome parameters like OS

    Measured: Up to 6 months

  17. Effect of concomitant drug treatment on pain, quality of life, and overall survival

    Exploration of the influence of abiraterone, enzalutamide, opioids and denosumab on OS by number of injections (5-6 vs. 1-4)

    Measured: Up to 5.5 years

  18. Time from castration resistance to treatment with Radium-223

    Time from verified castration resistance to first injection of Radium-223

    Measured: First treatment

  19. Description of covariates on duration of therapy

    Description of covariates on duration of therapy (to get ≥ 5 injections versus ≤ 4 injections) of mCRPC patients during treatment with Radium-223.

    Measured: Up to 6 months

  20. Factors positively influencing mCRPC patients to get ≥ 5 injections versus ≤ 4 injections

    (e.g. concomitant use of antihormonal therapy, no pre-treatment of chemotherapy)

    Measured: Up to 6 months

  21. Incidence of pathological fractures, non-pathological fractures and bone associated events during treatment and follow up

    Measured: Up to 5.5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Castration-Resistant Prostatic Cancer, run by Bayer at 1 site in Germany.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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 2 Nov 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Germany. 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?

Pain response (time frame: Up to 6 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 NCT02398526, 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 2 Nov 2021.
