E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Related to prostate cancer: 1. Histologically documented adenocarcinoma of the prostate. 2. Presence of more than one osteoblastic bone metastasis confirmed by 99mTc-labeled bisphosphonates bone scan performed within 8 weeks prior to study entry. 3. Clinically progressive hormone refractory disease, as documented by one or more of the following: a. Two documented consecutive increases in total PSA over a previous reference value (first increase at least one week after reference value). Increased total PSA level must be at least 5 µg/L. b. New lesion on bone scan (progressive measurable disease). c. Increase in bidimensionally measurable disease. 4. Karnofsky performance status 60% (Appendix III). 5.

Previous hemi-body external radiation therapy. 9. Receipt of external beam radiation for bone metastases with irradiation of bone marrow more than 25%, within 6 months of study entry.
Related to the patient: 10. Known hypersensitivity to Re-188-HEDP or other phosphate compounds. 11. Patients whose medical history includes clinically significant bleeding disorders which might be exacerbated by study medication. 12. Patients with concurrent illnesses or treatments that might preclude study completion or interfere with study results. 13. Patients with active CNS (grade 2 or higher) or epidural brain metastasis. 14. Clinical diagnosis of disseminated intravascular coagulation 15. Absolute neutrophil count, ANC < 2 109/L. 16. Platelet count < 150 109/L. 17. Hemoglobin < 6 mmol/L. 18. Total PSA < 5 µg/L. 19. Serum creatinine clearance < 50 ml/min (Cockroft and Gault).

Definition of the end of the trial and justification where it is not the last
visit of the last subject undergoing the trial
|
Successive patients (15 patients in total) will be treated in cohorts of 3 patients with a spilt dose regimen of Re-188-HEDP. If 2/3 or 2/6 patients experience a DLT the study will be discontinued.After the second treatment with Re-188-HEDP the patient will continue with a follow-up period of 8 weeks. Follow-up will be continued after end of study for unresolved AE’s, that might be related to one or both of the study drugs. |
