What is being measured

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

  1. Time to first Skeletal Related Event

    Defined as the time from randomization to first SRE. Patients without event will be censored at the time of the last clinical evaluation.

    Measured: Up to 54 months after the first inclusion

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Number of specific event-free survivals

    Specific times from randomization to appearance of the first Skeletal Related Event.

    Measured: Up to 54 months after the first inclusion

  2. Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0

    Incidence of adverse events (AEs) assessed using the National Cancer Institute - Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Event (NCI-CTCAE) v4 grading scale, specific registration of ONJ or other osteonecrosis and rate of skeletal event per patient during study duration

    Measured: Every 3 months until the 18th month for each patient

  3. Evolution of pain severity

    Proportion of patients with a clinically meaningful change in pain severity evaluated using a numerical rating scale (NRS)

    Measured: Every 3 months until the 18th month for each patient

  4. Evolution of pain

    Proportion of patients that shifted from not taking a strong opioid at baseline

    Measured: Every 3 months until the 18th month for each patient

  5. Patient's condition evaluation

    "Functional Assessment of cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G)" questionnaire, made of 27 items measuring the respondents' health state, each of which is answered using a five-point scale from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much). Questions are phrased so that higher numbers indicate a better health state. Subscale scores are added to obtain total score.

    Measured: Up to 9 months for each patient (evaluated at baseline, months 3, 6, 9)

  6. Patient's condition evaluation

    "EuroQoL 5 Dimensions 5 Levels" questionnaire is a scale used in the health state description. Each items is a three-level scale : having no problems, having some or moderate problems, being unable to do/having extreme problems.The respondents are asked to choose one of the statements which best describes their health status of surveyed day. Rated level can be coded as a number 1, 2, or 3, which indicates having no problems for 1, having some problems for 2, and having extreme problems for 3. As a result, a person's health status can be defined by a 5-digit number, ranging from 11111 (having no problems in all dimensions) to 33333 (having extreme problems in all dimensions).

    Measured: Up to 18 months for each patient (evaluated at baseline, months 3, 6, 9 and 18)

  7. Overall survival

    Measured from the date of randomization to the date of death from any cause

    Measured: Up to 54 months after the first inclusion

  8. Evaluation of the different practices for bone metastases treatments

    Financial evaluation of centers' practices (home or hospitalization)

    Measured: Up to 18 months for each patient

  9. Cost-utility analysis

    All the hospitalization costs will be collected during the timeframe: outpatient, inpatient, and home care

    Measured: Up to 18 months for each patient

  10. Cost-effectiveness analyses

    All the hospitalization costs will be collected during the timeframe: outpatient, inpatient, and home care

    Measured: Up to 18 months for each patient

  11. Budget impact analysis

    Quantification of financial consequences of rolling out this kind of medical supportive care strategy throughout the health system.

    Measured: Up to 18 months for each patient

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing denosumab in people with Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma, run by Centre Leon Berard at 1 site in France.

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 10 inclusion and 15 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 22 Oct 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 France. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: lack of recruitment). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Time to first Skeletal Related Event (time frame: Up to 54 months after the first inclusion). 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 22 Oct 2021.
