About this study

Official title: Characterization of Bone Marrow Suppression and Recovery During Radionuclide Treatment Using Functional Tests of Thrombocytes and Hemostasis

Radium-223-dichloride is approved therapy for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and bone metastases. More than 20 % of patients treated at Rigshospitalet develop bone marrow suppression as a side effect to Radium therapy The aim of the study is to examine biomarkers of bone marrow suppression and recovery during Radium therapy as well as markers of bone remodeling.

Read the detailed description

Radium-223-dichloride is approved therapy for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and bone metastases. Therapy is administered intravenously every 4 weeks for up to 6 cycles. More than 20 % of patients treated at Rigshospitalet develop bone marrow suppression as a side effect to Radium therapy, which delays or excludes the patient from further oncological therapy. Especially thrombocytopenia is a frequent side-effect and can be long lasting.

The aim of the study is to examine whether biomarkers of bone marrow recovery (immature platelets, platelet volume, reticulocytes, red cell distribution width) can predict development of hematological toxicity during Radium therapy. Furthermore, to investigate whether these biomarkers can predict recovery from toxicity in patients who develop bone marrow suppression during therapy.

A secondary aim of the study is to evaluate whether dynamics in biomarkers of bone remodeling during Radium therapy is correlated to overall survival and time to symptomatic skeletal event. Optimally these biomarkers can aid in monitoring therapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer, run by Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet at 1 site in Denmark.

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 4 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 9 Nov 2022. 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 Denmark. 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?

Thrombocytopenia (time frame: Within 1 year from inclusion). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03247010, 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 9 Nov 2022.
