E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. The subject must have an histological or cytological diagnosis of CRPC (including serum testosterone levels less than 50 ng/dL within 28 days before randomization).
2. The subject must have evidence of bone metastasis related to prostate cancer on bone scans from a protocol credentialed scanner within 28 days before randomization.
3. The subject must have documented pain from bone metastases that requires opioid narcotic intervention. The average daily worst pain intensity reported by the subject during the 7 day Run In Stage, with a minimum of 4 days of reporting, must be at least 4 but no more than 8 on an 11-point NRS.
4. The subject must have adopted a narcotic regimen that consists of one SR opioid agent taken daily for chronic pain (taken on a minimum of 5 days out of the 7 day Run-In Stage) and one IR opioid agent for breakthrough pain, documented during the Run In Stage. The narcotic analgesic regimen must be optimized to provide maximal pain relief without intolerable narcotic-related side effects, according to subject’s goals for comfort and function (see Appendix E).
Note: Subjects requiring narcotic infusions (other than IV push) at screening are not eligible for the study.
5. The subject must have received prior docetaxel and either abiraterone or MDV3100 treatment. For docetaxel: subjects must have received a minimum of three cycles or progressed during or after any amount of a docetaxel containing therapy.
For abiraterone or MDV3100: subjects must have discontinued abiraterone or MDV3100 due to disease progression.
Prostate cancer progression is defined as:
a. PSA progression according to PCWG2 (Prostate Cancer Working Group 2) criteria: PSA level of at least 2 ng/mL which has subsequently risen on at least 2 successive occasions, at least 2 weeks apart. If the second risen value is lower than the first risen value, then an additional test for rising PSA will be required to document progression. The value of the additional test must be higher than the first risen value (Scher et al. 2008).
or
b. Radiographic progression in soft tissue or bone lesions
Note: There is no limit on other prior anticancer treatments, including prior cabazitaxel (except Exclusion Criterion #1).
6. Subjects without prior orchiectomy must be currently taking and willing to continue LHRH analogue (agonist or antagonist) therapy until permanent discontinuation of study treatment.
7. The subject must have recovered to baseline or CTCAE v.4.0 ≤ Grade 1 from toxicities related to any prior treatments, unless AE(s) are clinically non significant or easily manageable (eg, hypertension, hypoalbuminemia, hypophosphatemia).
8. The subject must be ≥ 18 years old on the day of consent.
9. The subject must have adequate organ and marrow function assessed within 7 days before randomization, based on the following:
a. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1500/mm3
b. Platelets ≥ 100,000/mm3
c. Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL
d. Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x the upper limit of normal (for subjects with Gilbert’s disease, ≤ 3 mg/dL)
e. Serum albumin ≥ 2.8 g/dL
f. Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x the upper limit of normal or estimated calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min (using the Cockcroft Gault equation) or glomerular filtration rate (GFR) > 40 mL/min (using a 24 hour urine creatinine clearance test)
Note: Cockcroft Gault creatinine clearance (mL/min) = (140 - age) x weight (kg)/(serum creatinine x 72)
g. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) < 3.0 x the upper limit of normal
h. Lipase < 1.5 times the upper limit of normal
i. Serum phosphorus ≥ lower limit of normal
j. Urine protein/creatinine ratio (UPCR) < 1
10. The subject must have a left-ventricular ejection fraction of ≥ 50% assessed within 28 days before randomization by echocardiogram or multigated acquisition scan (MUGA)
11. The subject must be capable of understanding and complying with the protocol requirements (including having the ability to access an IVRS and self-report pain and narcotic use) and must have signed the ICF.
12. Sexually active fertile subjects and their partners must agree to use medically accepted methods of contraception (eg, barrier methods, including male condom, female condom, or diaphragm with spermicidal gel) during the course of the study and for 6 months after the last dose of study treatment. |
