E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation |
E.1.1 | Medical condition(s) being investigated |
Treatment of bone metastases in men with hormone- refractory prostate cancer. |
|
MedDRA Classification |
E.1.3 | Condition being studied is a rare disease | No |
E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To determine if denosumab is non-inferior to zoledronic acid (Zometa) with respect to the first on-study occurrence of a skeletal-related event (SRE) in subjects with hormone-refractory prostate cancer and bone metastases. SRE is defined as pathological fracture (vertebral or nonvertebral), radiation therapy to bone (including the use of radioisotopes), surgery to bone, or spinal cord compression. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
-To determine if denosumab is superior to zoledronic acid with respect to first on-study SRE. -To determine if denosumab is superior to zoledronic acid with respect to first-and-subsequent on-study SRE (multiple event analysis). To assess the safety and tolerability of denosumab compared with zoledronic acid.

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
-Men greater than or equal to 18 years of age with histologically-confirmed prostate cancer. -Current or prior radiographic (ie, x-ray, computer tomography [CT], or magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) evidence of at least 1 bone metastasis. -Documented failure of at least one hormonal therapy as evidenced by a rising PSA (ie, 3 consecutive determinations, taken at least 2 weeks apart from one another.
