E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |

|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To assess if upfront combination of enzalutamide with Ra223 (experimental arm) offers further benefits over enzalutamide alone in terms of the secondary efficacy endpoints listed below, to compare the safety profile of the approaches and to document their impact on patient reported outcomes (pain and quality of life (QoL). |

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
♦ Histologically confirmed diagnosis of prostate adenocarcinoma ♦ Asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic (defined as short form question #3 in Brief Pain Inventory worst pain must be < 4. ♦ Metastatic to bone with ≥ 4 bone metastases (ambiguous areas of increased uptake on 99mTC Bone Scan (BS) should be confirmed by CT or MRI) with or without additional lymph node metastases. Patients with visceral metastases are not allowed. Patients with multifocal bone lesions are allowed, while patients with diffuse confluent bone lesions (superscan) are not allowed in the trial. Note: Patients must start treatment with a bone protecting agent (at doses used to reduce the incidence of skeletal related events) ideally before or at the time of randomization, if patient is not already on one. A minimum of two doses is recommended before the first administration of Ra223 in the experimental arm. The first administration of Ra223 should be scheduled at least 6 weeks after the first administration of bone protecting agent. Note: For French sites only, patients must not have undergone a PET/CT scan for restaging prostate cancer using radiopharmaceuticals such as 18F-FDG, 18F-fluoride, 18F-Fluorocholine or a PSMA (prostate-specific membrane antigen) ligand or any other tracer. ♦ Progressive CRPC according to Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 (PCWG3) i.e. either: -For patients who manifest disease progression solely as a rising PSA level, PCWG3 criteria require documentation of a sequence of rising PSA values at a minimum of 1-week intervals with the last value ≥ 2 ng/mL. -For patients with disease progression manifest in the bone, irrespective of progression by rising PSA, PCWG3 guidelines require appearance of 2 or more new lesions. Ambiguous results should be confirmed by other imaging modalities than bone scan (e.g.: CT-scan or MRI). -For patients with disease progression manifest at nodal sites, irrespective of progression by rising PSA, PCWG3 requires progression according to RECIST 1.1. ♦ Ongoing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist or antagonist or bilateral orchiectomy. Patients must be at least 18 years old ♦ WHO Performance status 0-1 ♦ Charlson score ≤ 3 ♦ T-score ≥ -2.5 on a DXA scan done in the past 12 months ♦ Castrate serum levels of testosterone < 50 ng/dL ♦ Biochemistry and hematology -Adequate bone marrow function (absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 109/L; platelets ≥ 100 109/L, and hemoglobin ≥ 10.0 g/dl.). -Total bilirubin level ≤ 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN), except for patient with Gilbert’s disease where ≤ 5.0 × ULN applies. -Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 x ULN. -Creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN -Albumin > 25 g/L ♦ Normal cardiac function according to local standard by 12-lead ECG (complete, standardized 12-lead recording). ♦ Able to swallow the study drug and comply with study requirements ♦ Prior or concomitant therapy. -Prior docetaxel is permitted if given in the castration sensitive state and if it was started within 4 months of ADT initiation. Note: patients having received docetaxel for CRPC are excluded. ♦ Prior use of abiraterone is permitted if the patient had a response or stable disease on abiraterone for a minimum of 1 year for metastatic castration sensitive prostate cancer Note: patients having received abiraterone for CRPC are excluded. ♦ Prior treatment with abiraterone is allowed if it was stopped at least 4 weeks prior to randomization. ♦ Previous treatment with bicalutamide, or flutamide is allowed if it was stopped at least 48 hours prior to randomization. ♦ Corticosteroids are allowed only at a dose ≤ 10 mg of prednisone (or equivalent) no matter the indication. ♦ Drugs known to lower the seizure threshold or prolong QT interval are not permitted. ♦ Participants who have pregnant partners must use a condom and those with partners of childbearing potential must use a condom and another adequate birth control measures if engaging in sexual activities during the study treatment period and for at least 3 months after last dose of enzalutamide and 6 months after the last dose of Ra223. A highly effective method of birth control is defined as those which result in low failure rate (i.e. less than 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly. ♦ Absence of any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule; those conditions should be discussed with the patient before registration in the trial. ♦ Before patient randomization, written informed consent must be given according to ICH/GCP, and national/local regulations. ♦ For participation in translational research, specific consent must be given. |
