Study summary

This study is a Japanese post-marketing surveillance (PMS) which is required by the regulatory authorities. General objective of PMS is to confirm the clinical usefulness, especially the safety profile of a drug under the routine clinical practice.

Read the detailed description

This is a local, non-interventional, multi-center, single-cohort study using primary data of patients treated with Xofigo for the indication of castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) with bone metastases. A total of 300 patients (valid for safety analysis) are enrolled within 18 months.

During the observation period (i.e. up to 6 months), safety and effectiveness information is collected. Since patient's visit occurs under the routine clinical practice, the study protocol does not define exact referral dates for those visits. The physician records patient data as defined in the protocol.

The extended follow-up period is to collect bone fractures and survival with post-treatment information after Xofigo under the real-world in Japan.

The results of this study (except of extended follow-up period) have to be submitted to the Japanese regulatory authorities as a part of the reexamination period (8 years). This study is conducted in accordance with Article 14-4 (re-examination) of the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law, and Good Post-marketing Surveillance Practice from a ministerial ordinance of Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare in Japan.

  2. Number of adverse drug reactions as a measure of safety

    Events will be summarized by frequency tables (e.g. absolute and relative frequencies) using the MedDRA coding system

    Time frame: Up to 6 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in laboratory findings (e.g. ALP, bone markers)

    Time frame: From Baseline up to 6 month

  2. Change in analgesic use as a surrogate of pain status

    Time frame: From Baseline up to 6 month

  3. Number of patients with bone fractures

    Time frame: Up to 3 years

  4. Survival rate

    Time frame: Up to 3 years

  5. Post-treatment information

    Comprises information of post-treatment medication/ therapy for prostate cancer

    Time frame: Up to 3 years
