Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • Men only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients with PC diagnosis in 1.1.1998 - 31.12.2013 and with bone metastases diagnosis or bone-directed treatments in 1.1.1998 - 31.12.2013 will be initially included into the large study population. From this initial population, the main analyses will concentrate on the following two populations: * Prostate cancer patients with bone metastases (mPC), and * Castration-resistant prostate cancer patients with bone metastases (mCRPC)

Who may be able to join

None listed.

Who cannot join

  • First PC diagnosis later than 2 months after the diagnosis of bone metastases, or
  • Permanent residence not in Sweden or patient otherwise not contributing to the registers at least a year before the diagnosis of bone metastases (patient counted not contributing also if database existence less than a year before cohort entry), or
  • Use of any radiopharmaceuticals for bone metastases (ATC code): Samarium (V10BX02), strontium (V10BX01), rhenium (V10BX03) or radium (V10XX03).

About this study

Official title: Incidence of Second Primary MAlignancies in pRostate Cancer Patients With bOne Metastases - an Observational Retrospective Cohort Study in Sweden (SMARCOS)

This study is conducted to obtain information about prostate cancer patients with bone metastases before the end of 2013. The incidence of second primary malignancies and overall survival in patients with castration resistant prostate cancer are of particular interest. Information from this study will serve as a historical reference for the REASSURE study (Background incidence study)

Read the detailed description

Prostate cancer (PC) is the most common non-cutaneous malignancy in men. Once it becomes metastatic, it poses a serious threat to the patients' quality of life and survival. The most common site of metastases is the skeletal system: Among castration-resistant prostate cancer patients bone metastases are involved in over 90% of metastatic cases.

The development of new treatments has led to improved quality of life and prolonged lifetime among castration-resistant prostate cancer patients with metastases (mCRPC). A recent randomized clinical trial indicated significant improvement in survival and quality of life among patients with bone metastases treated with alpha emitter radium-223 as compared with placebo. To further evaluate the safety profile of Radium-223 in patients with castration resistant prostate cancer with bone metastases, Radium-223 alpha Emitter Agent in non-intervention Safety Study in mCRPC popUlation for long-teRm Evaluation (the REASSURE study), an international prospective observational single-arm cohort study was implemented as a post-marking requirement requested by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and European Medicines Agency (EMA).

In the case that new treatments improve the length and quality of life substantially, it can be challenging to obtain an appropriate comparison group in the post-authorization phase. This study is conducted to obtain information about prostate cancer patients with bone metastases before the end of 2013. The incidence of second primary malignancies and overall survival are of particular interest. Information from this study will serve as a historical reference for the REASSURE study

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidences of Second primary malignancies that are characterized by the following ICD-10 codes: C00-C76, C81-C96, D00-D09, D37-D48.

    Measured: Up to 15 years

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Incidences of any site-specific second primary malignancies

    Site-specific ICD-10 code groups from the range of all neoplasm codes C00 - D48

    Measured: Up to 15 years for mPC patients and up to 7 years for mCRPC patients

  2. Overall survival

    Measured: Up to 15 years for mPC patients and up to 7 years for mCRPC patients

  3. Pathologic fracture

    ICD-10 codes: M49.5, M84.4, M90.7

    Measured: Up to 15 years for mPC patients and up to 7 years for mCRPC patients

  4. Spinal cord compression

    ICD-10 codes: M43.9, M48.5, G95.2, G95.8

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prostatic Neoplasms, run by Bayer at 1 site in Sweden.

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 0 inclusion and 3 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 12 Feb 2018. 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 Sweden. 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?

Incidences of Second primary malignancies that are characterized by the following ICD-10 codes: C00-C76, C81-C96, D00-D09, D37-D48. (time frame: Up to 15 years). 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 12 Feb 2018.
