Prior cytotoxic chemotherapy with curative intent in the neoadjuvant or adjuvant setting is allowed but must have been completed at least 6 months prior to registration. No cytotoxic chemotherapy is allowed during protocol specified therapy.

Subjects must not have been diagnosed with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, active chronic hepatitis B or C, life-threatening illness unrelated to cancer, or any serious medical or psychiatric illness that could, in the investigator's opinion, potentially interfere with participation in this study. Subjects should be tested for hepatitis B or C or HIV infection during screening only if they are considered by the investigator to be at high risk for these infections.
  • Known hypersensitivity to bicalutamide.
  • Known gastrointestinal (GI) disease or procedure that could interfere with the GI absorption or tolerance of bicalutamide, including difficulty swallowing oral medications.

About this study

Official title: Androgen Deprivation Therapy With or Without Radium-223 Dichloride in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Metastatic Prostate Cancer With Bone Metastases: Hoosier Cancer Research Network GU13-170

Newly diagnosed metastatic prostate cancer subjects with bone metastases will be accrued to this stratified randomized 2-arm Phase II trial. Subjects will be randomized 1:2 to ADT or ADT with Radium-223 dichloride respectively.

Read the detailed description

OUTLINE: This is a multi-center, randomized trial.

STRATIFICATION FACTORS:

Subjects will be stratified based on serum total alkaline phosphatase at baseline and extent of disease (described below). Randomization will occur within stratification group.

  • Extent of Disease: <6 skeletal metastases with no visceral metastases versus ≥6 skeletal metastases or visceral metastases.
  • Serum total alkaline phosphatase at baseline: normal vs abnormal. Abnormal alkaline phosphatase is defined as > 130 IU/L.

Early Induction or Late Induction status will not be a stratification criterion.

TREATMENT SCHEDULE: CONTROL ARM A

All subjects will receive androgen deprivation therapy with a LHRH agonist (any LHRH agonist such as leuprolide acetate or goserelin acetate is acceptable) or a LHRH antagonist (degarelix) or bilateral orchiectomy, with dosage determined by the treating physician. Route of administration and cycle days will be administered as per package insert. Androgen deprivation therapy with LHRH agonist or LHRH antagonist will be given continuously.

All subjects will receive bicalutamide, 50 mg Oral (PO) Daily

TREATMENT SCHEDULE: EXPERIMENTAL ARM B

All subjects will receive androgen deprivation therapy with a LHRH agonist (any LHRH agonist such as leuprolide acetate or goserelin acetate is acceptable) or a LHRH antagonist (degarelix) or bilateral orchiectomy, with dosage determined by the treating physician. Route of administration and cycle days will be administered as per package insert. Androgen deprivation therapy with LHRH agonist or LHRH antagonist will be given continuously.

All subjects will receive bicalutamide, 50 mg oral (PO) daily

All subjects will receive Radium-223 dichloride, 50 kBq (1.35 microcurie) per kg body weight, intravenous (IV bolus) every 28 days for 6 injections

  • Hemoglobin (Hgb) ≥ 8.0 g/dL (80 g/L) without packed RBC transfusion
  • Platelets ≥ 100 K/mm3
  • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 K/mm3

    Measured: From baseline until 30 days after the last treatment, assessed for a maximum of 24 months

  12. Analgesic Use by WHO Ladder Score

    Analgesic use scores for subjects on both arms will be assigned by the treating physician based on the subject's daily analgesic use on average. A single numeric score (0, 1, 2 or 3) will be assigned based on the 3-step WHO pain ladder.

    Measured: From baseline until 30 days after the last treatment, assessed for a maximum of 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing LHRH agonist/antagonist, Bicalutamide and Radium-223 dichloride in people with Prostate Cancer and Bone Metastases, run by Ajjai Alva, MD at 12 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 14 inclusion and 14 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jul 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 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 9 Jul 2019). 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?

Radiological Progression-Free Survival (rPFS) (time frame: From date of randomization to disease progression or death from any cause, up to a maximum of 24 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 11 Jul 2022.
