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   43871   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7290   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 primary objective of this study was to compare, in subjects with asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic chemotherapy-naïve bone-predominant metastatic CRPC, the clinical benefit of radium-223 dichloride versus placebo in combination with abiraterone and prednisone/prednisolone.
    Protection of trial subjects
    The conduct of this clinical study met all local legal and regulatory requirements. The study was conducted in accordance with ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki and the International Council for Harmonization guideline E6: Good Clinical Practice. Before entering the study, the informed consent was read by and explained to all the subjects. Participating subjects signed informed consent form and could withdraw from the study at any time without any disadvantage and without having to provide a reason for this decision. Only investigators qualified by training and experience were selected as appropriate experts to investigate the study drug.

    Stage of prostate cancer at diagnosis (Tumor Node Metastasis [TNM] Classification)
    TNM staging system stands for Tumour, Node, Metastasis. Stage I: cancer is in half of one side of the prostate or less. Stage II: cancer is in more than half of one side of the prostate, completely contained within the prostate gland. Stage III: cancer has broken through the capsule of the prostate gland, and may have spread into tubes that carry semen. Stage IV: cancer has spread into nearby body organs, such as the back passage or bladder; or has spread to nearby lymph nodes; or has spread to other parts of the body outside the pelvis, such as the lungs or liver.

    Cancer pain assessment by Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form (BPI-SF)
    The BPI-SF is a short, self-administered questionnaire with 11 items designed to evaluate the intensity of, and the impairment caused by pain. Four items measure pain intensity (pain now, average pain, worst pain, and least pain) using 0 (“no pain”) to 10 (“pain as bad as you can imagine”) numeric rating scales, and 7 items measure the level of interference with function caused by pain (general activity, mood, walking ability, normal work, relations with other people, sleep, and enjoyment of life) using 0 (no interference) to 10 (complete interference) rating scales.

    Gleason score at diagnosis
    The Gleason score is an indication of prognosis based on prostate pathology. The total score ranges from 2 to 10 (ie: "1+1" to "5+5") with a higher score reflecting less-differentiated tumors with worse prognosis. The total score is a sum of two numbers which are based on the microscopic appearance of cells. The first number is the score based on the dominant, cell morphology (scored 1-5) and the second number is based on the highest grade of the non-dominant cell pattern (scored 1-5).

    Symptomatic Skeletal Event Free Survival (SSE-FS)
    End point description
    SSE-FS was defined as time (months) from randomization to the earliest of onset date of skeletal symptoms treated with external beam radiotherapy (EBRT), onset date of pathological bone fracture, onset date of spinal cord compression, procedure date of tumor-related orthopedic surgery, or death from any cause. Subjects who died without prior SSE and ≥ 13 weeks after the last SSE assessment are censored at the last SSE assessment date. Subjects alive at the survival cut-off date are censored at the last date known to be alive. Subjects with multiple events are only counted for the category in which the first event occurred. If multiple SSE (component events) occur on the same date for 1 subject, the subject is only counted into 1 category in the order of: spinal cord compression > bone fracture > orthopedic surgery > EBRT.

    Time to Pain Progression
    End point description
    Time to pain progression was defined as the interval from randomization to the first date a subject experienced pain progression, assessed by BPI-SF (see Baseline Characteristics) and defined as: an increase of 2 or more points in the average worst pain score (WPS) from baseline observed at 2 consecutive evaluations >= 4 weeks apart or initiation of short- or long-acting opioid use for pain for subjects with WPS 0 at baseline; an increase of 2 or more points in the average WPS from baseline observed at 2 consecutive evaluations ≥ 4 weeks apart and an average WPS of ≥ 4 OR initiation of short- or long-acting opioid use for pain for subjects with WPS 1 to 3 at baseline. Subjects without pain progression at the end of study are censored at the last date known to have not progressed: the last evaluation date for pain scores or last visit when recorded opiate use, whichever is last. Subjects with no on-study assessment or no baseline assessment are censored at the date of randomization.

    Time to Cytotoxic Chemotherapy
    End point description
    Time to cytotoxic chemotherapy is time (months) from randomization to the earliest date of the first cytotoxic chemotherapy. Subjects who have not started cytotoxic chemotherapy during the study were censored at the last assessment date. In the below table, "99999" indicates that upper limit cannot be estimated due to censored data.

    25 Aug 2014
    Amendment 1 (integrated protocol Version 2.0) specified the following key modifications: 1. Modified the inclusion criterion to clarify the permitted age range. 2. Modified the inclusion criterion to expand the permitted estimated GFR. 3. Clarified study treatment is either radium-223 dichloride (Arm A) or placebo (Arm B). 4. Clarified the maximum radium-223 dichloride treatment duration. 7. Clarified that abiraterone is not considered study medication after an on-study SSE. 8. Clarified he process for maintaining the blind. 9. Corrected the hemoglobin level that must be met for dosing. 10. Added collection of SSEs during the screening period. 11. Clarified that survival status would be collected throughout the study. 12. Clarified that collection of cancer-related treatments includes androgen synthesis inhibitors/androgen receptor antagonists and excludes analgesics. 13. Added the modified RECIST v1.1 criteria.
    11 Jun 2015
    Amendment 2 (integrated protocol Version 3.0) specified the following key modifications: 1.

Removed cytological confirmation of adenocarcinoma of the prostate from inclusion criteria; histological confirmation only. 3. Clarified that the treatment period ended when a subject received abiraterone/prednisone as the standard of care (non-IMP) after an SSE. 4. Added an exclusion for immunotherapy (e.g., sipuleucel-T) within 4 weeks before the first dose of radium-223 dichloride. 5. Clarified duration of prohibited concomitant therapy was from screening onwards. 6. Clarified potassium requirement for ECG collection.
