Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43851   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7283   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The Phase II study, concerned the feasiblity, tolerablity and safety in terms of combining docetaxel with zoledronic acid and strontium-89; the phase II data was incorporated into the phase III data for analysis. The Phase III primary endpoints were : - Clinical Progression-free survival - Cost and cost effectiveness of trial treatments All data including graphs were published with open access in 2016. Please refer to the publications listed in Online Reference section of this report for further and more detailed trial results.
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was carried out in accordance with the World Medical Association (WMA) Declaration of Helsinki (1964) and the Tokyo (1975), Venice (1983), Hong Kong (1989), South Africa (1996) and Scotland (2000) amendments. The protocol gained ethical approval from the South West MREC. Before entering patients into the study, the Principal Investigator ensured that the protocol had approval from their local Research Ethics Committee and local Research and Development (R&D) Office. A participant’s tolerance to trial treatment and the overall tumour response was determined by the treating physician who decided whether it was in the participant’s best interest to continue with treatment or not. Participants were provided with ethically approved comprehensive information about the trial and trial treatments, and given advice on who to contact with any questions or concerns at any time. Prophylactic anti-emetic treatment(s) were advised throughout chemotherapy. Dexamethasone and a second anti-emetic, such as metoclopramide, or local standard treatment were recommended. More aggressive anti-emetic treatment, e.g. 5-HT3 antagonists, was advised for participants who experienced CTC AE (i.e. Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 3) grade 3 or higher nausea/vomiting in a preceding cycle. If grade 3 or higher symptoms continued, the docetaxel dose was to be reduced by one dose level (i.e. standard dose 75 mg/square meters down to 60 mg/sq. meters, or 60 mg/sq. meters down to 45 mg/sq. meters). Participants with continuing grade 3 or higher nausea/vomiting were withdrawn from trial treatment. Only one docetaxel dose reduction was permitted. Expected adverse reactions to docetaxel, zoledronic acid (ZA) and Strontium-89 (Sr-89) were itemised in the protocol with guidance and recommended counter measures.
    Background therapy
    All supportive care medications, including: - Prednisolone - Although listed as an investigational medicinal product (IMP) this was essential NICE-recommended supportive care throughout chemotherapy regimens; - Anti-emetic medications; - Vitamin D and calcium supplements throughout ZA treatment. For participants also treated with Sr89, vitamin D/calcium supplements were halted 3 weeks prior to and recommenced 4 weeks after SR89 administration.
    Evidence for comparator
    Docetaxel therapy plus prednisolone for up to 10 cycles/3-weekly became the mainstay of standard therapy for metastatic, castrate (previously ‘hormone’) refractory prostate cancer (CRPC, previously referred to as HRPC) – approved by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) in 2006, following two landmark trials published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2004 (Tannock et al. 2004; Petrylak et al, 2004). One of the commonest sites of spread, and major cause of morbidity, in metastatic CRPC is to bone. ZA and Sr89 are two of the treatments approved for the treatment of bone disease. A pre-docetaxel era trial combined chemotherapy with Sr89 in a small randomized trial and suggested a survival advantage in patients allocated to Sr89 (Tu et al, 2001). Zoledronic acid was approved on the basis of reductions in skeletal related events (SREs) demonstrated in randomised studies in mHRPC (Saad et al, 2004). Tannock IF, et al.

    Adjusted Cox regression model
    Statistical analysis description
    Second analysis of CPFS: adjusted Cox regression model, including both treatment comparisons and stratification factors (ECOG and randomising centre). Using stratification factors within the design leads to correlation between the treatment groups which, when not adjusted for, can lead to upwards biased standard error rates for treatment effects, CIs which are too wide, type 1 error rates which are too low and a reduction in power. Owning to this conclusions are based on adjusted analysis.

    Cost-effectiveness ICER per additional QALY - ZA & Sr89 [4]
    End point description
    A total NHS cost and number of QALYs were calculated for each of the 707 patients for whom information on costs and preference-based quality of life (EQ-5D) was available. The mean total cost and mean total QALYs across all patients under a given treatment were calculated. As the distribution of costs and QALYs are typically skewed, 95% confidence intervals around mean values were obtained on the basis of 1000 replications using the bias corrected and accelerated (BCa) bootstrap method. Incremental analysis was carried out to determine the difference in mean total costs and QALYs. These differences were summarised in an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER), a measure that reflects the extra cost associated with a gain of one additional QALY. Full details of the cost effectiveness analysis can be found in the National Institute for Health Research (UK) Health Technology Assessment Program (vol20(53) July 2016) and a separate BJUI 2016 paper by Andronis et al.

    Quality-Adjusted Survival - ZA
    End point description
    The integrated quality adjusted survival product is the product of the survival and EQ-5D quality of life measure over the 2 year period of interest. The methodology of integrating QoL and survival was carried out at the group level. The area under the curve at 2 years gave the mean QALY for each group. Standard errors were calculated and 95% confidence intervals constructed using bootstrapping techniques with 1000 replications. Full descriptive quality of life data has been published in the Trial report published by the National Institute for Health Research (UK) Health Technology Assessment Program (Vol 20(53) July 2016; ISSN 1366-5278; DOI 10.3310/hta20530)

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    23 Mar 2005
    PHASE II PROTOCOL • Change to the eligibility criteria to enable patients to enter the study without the need for a confirmation prostate biopsy if they have confirmed bone disease with a PSA value > 100ng/ml. • Change to wording of baseline and post chemotherapy assessment requirements will allow centres to take part in the study without the need to perform clinical procedures if local facilities are not available.
    07 Jun 2005
    • Safety amendment to clarification of zoledronic acid dose procedures to comply with SmPC.
    04 May 2007
    • Changes to the inclusion criteria clarified patient eligibility regarding abnormal ALT and AST levels. • The requirement for a confirmed Serum Testosterone blood test was removed from the screening procedures. • A new entry criteria question was added to ensure that at time of study entry all patients were fit enough to receive any of the trial treatments, in the opinion of the investigator. • Clarification of administration sequence of trial treatments.
    24 Sep 2008
    PHASE III PROTOCOL • The majority of the changes related to the transition from a phase II to a phase III clinical trial, covering trial infrastructure, data collection procedures and statistical considerations. These changes had no direct impact on patient participation or safety, but did increase the maximum number of chemotherapy cycles from 6 to10, according to NICE guidelines for docetaxel chemotherapy.
    12 Apr 2011
    • This amendment concerns a statistical redesign of the phase III trial from a 4 arm comparison to a 2 by 2 factorial design to assess treatment efficacy. • Reduction of target recruitment from 1240 (as per version 8 amendment) to 618 evaluable patients. The trial will close to recruitment at the end of February 2012.
    25 May 2011
    • This amendment concerns a correction in section 12.2.3 on timing of analysis. We intend to conduct initial analysis once all patients have at least 1 year’s follow-up not 2 years as previously stated.
    17 Feb 2012
    Substantial amendments : • Changing the requirement for both ALT and AST to be tested – only one of them needs to have been performed. • Change of definition for skeletal related event-free interval and pain progression-free interval, and removal of the event of death as a skeletal related event and element of pain progression criteria. Non-substantial amendments : • Clarification of prophylactic anti-emetic for nausea/vomiting due to chemotherapy, and permission to use local protocols that coincide with off-study practice. • Additional safety information for zoledronic acid administration. • Updating of Deputy Clinical Co-ordinators details.
