Brief summary

The primary objective of the trial is to evaluate the clinical anti-tumor activity of EMD 525797 administered as 1-hour intravenous infusion every 3 weeks in terms of progression free survival (PFS) time in subjects with asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).

Interventions

Subjects will be administered with EMD 525797 at a dose of 1500 milligram (mg) (diluted with 0.9 percent \[%\] sodium chloride) as a 1-hour intravenous infusion every 3 Weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, whichever comes first, unless the subject stopped the trial treatment for other reasons.

OTHERPlacebo

Subjects will be administered with placebo (as 0.9% sodium chloride) as a 1-hour intravenous infusion every 3 Weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, whichever comes first, unless the subject stopped the trial treatment for other reasons.

OTHERStandard of Care (SoC)

All the subjects followed the SoC consisting of the continued treatment with luteinizing-hormone releasing hormone agonists (or antagonists).

MeasureTime frameDescription
Progression Free Survival (PFS) TimeTime from randomization until data cut-off date (30 April 2013), assessed up to 2 yearsPFS was defined as time from randomization until the first documented sign of objective radiographic disease progression (ORDP) or death from any cause. Death was considered as an event only if it was reported within 12 weeks after last tumor assessment without progression. ORDP was defined as: Bone lesion progression (2 or more new bone lesions compared to baseline) assessed with bone scintigraphy. Assessment was based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.0 (RECIST v1.0) modified as per Prostate Cancer Working Group 2 (PCWG-2); Soft-tissue lesion progression assessed with CT scans according to RECIST v1.0 modified as per PCWG-2; Presence of skeletal events defined as cord compression/fracture documented via a scheduled or unscheduled radiographic assessment triggered by increased pain or other signs and/or symptoms, based on the investigator's discretion; Non-radiological events, including emergency bone irradiation and surgery, were not investigated.

Pharmacokinetic Parameter: Volume of Distribution of EMD 525797 After the First Dose (V) and in Steady State After the Fifth Dose (Vss) of Intravenous Infusion

The apparent volume of distribution during the terminal phase following intravenous administration (V). The estimate of the apparent volume of distribution at steady state following intravenous administration (Vss).

Time frame: Cycle 1 (Week 1) and cycle 5 (Week 13): Day 1: pre-dose, End of Infusion (EOI), 4, 8, 24, 48, 96, 168, 336, and 504 hours after start of infusion; Cycles 3 and 4 (Weeks 7 and 10), Day 1: pre-dose; Cycle 7 (Week 19), Day 1: pre-dose and EOI

Population: PKA included all the randomized subjects who received at least the first dose of the trial drug and provided sufficient data for a concentration time profile for EMD 525797. n signifies the number of subjects evaluable for each category in the evaluated group, respectively.

Time to Tumor Progression

Time to tumor progression was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of ORDP. ORDP was defined as: Bone lesion progression (2 or more new bone lesions compared to baseline) assessed with bone scintigraphy, which had to be confirmed by bone scintigraphy 6 weeks later if subjects remained asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic. Assessments were to be based on RECIST v1.0 modified according to PCWG-2; Soft-tissue lesion progression assessed with CT scans according to RECIST v1.0 modified as per PCWG-2; Presence of skeletal events defined as cord compression or fracture documented via a scheduled or unscheduled radiographic assessment triggered by increased pain or other signs and/or symptoms, based on the investigator's discretion; Non-radiological events, including emergency bone irradiation and surgery, were not investigated.

Time frame: Time from randomization until data cut-off date (30 April 2013), assessed up to 2 years

Population: ITT analysis set included all the subjects who were randomized in the study.
