Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To compare, in patients with symptomatic HRPC and skeletal metastases, the efficacy of best standard of care plus Alpharadin versus best standard of care plus placebo, with the primary efficacy endpoint being overall survival (OS). ;Secondary Objective: Main - Time to total-ALP progression - Total ALP response - Time to occurrence of first skeletal related event - Total ALP normalisation - Time to PSA progression Other -Time to occurrence of first use of external beam radiotherapy to relieve skeletal symptoms -Time to occurrence of first use of radio-isotopes to relieve skeletal symptoms - Time to occurrence of first new symptomatic pathological bone fractures (vertebral and non-vertebral) - Time to occurrence of first tumour related orthopaedic surgical intervention - Time to occurrence of first spinal cord compression - Time to occurrence of first start of any other anti-cancer treatment - Time to occurrence of first deterioration of ECOG PS by at least two points from baseline [includes death (score of 5), by definition] - Changes in PSA - Changes in total-ALP;Primary end point(s): Overall survival: time from date of randomisation to the date of death;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Patients will be evaluated every 2 months until 1 year from first administration, and thereafter every 4 months until 3 years from first administration. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): - Time to total-ALP progression - Total ALP response - Time to occurrence of first skeletal related event - Total ALP normalisation - Time to PSA progression;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: • Time to total-ALP progression i. in patients with no total-ALP decline from baseline (at least 12 weeks from baseline) ii. in patients with an initial total-ALP decline from baseline (confirmed by a second value obtained three or more weeks later). • Total-ALP response (approximately 4 or more weeks later). • Time to occurrence of first skeletal related event (throughout the study). • Total-ALP normalisation (return of total-ALP value to within normal range at 12 weeks in 2 consecutive measurements, at least 2 weeks apart). • Time to PSA progression i. in patients with no PSA decline from baseline (at least 12 weeks from baseline) ii. in patients with an initial PSA decline from baseline (confirmed by a second value obtained three or more weeks later). | — |
