Study summary

This study aims to answer the research question: Are Japanese bone metastatic CRPC patients satisfied with their Ra-223 treatment, and what factors drive such satisfaction? It also aims to determine patient anxiety regarding prostate cancer while on treatment with Ra-223, and assess the effect on quality of life.

Read the detailed description

This is a local, Japanese, prospective, longitudinal, observational, company-sponsored, multi-center, single arm study that will describe treatment satisfaction with Ra-223 in 150 bone metastatic CRPC patients on 1st to 3rd line CRPC therapy. All outcomes will be obtained using PRO questionnaires at 4 time points: before treatment, during treatment, and at 1-month after the last treatment cycle.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Line of therapy

A line of therapy is one course of treatment, which may combine several drugs. First-line is the first course given; second-line follows when that stops working or is not tolerated.

“Two prior lines” means two courses that count separately under the study’s rules — not simply two drugs. Ask the study team if you are unsure how yours are counted.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Life expectancy

The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

CTCAE grade

The US National Cancer Institute’s scale of how severe an adverse event is — any unwanted medical event during a study, such as a symptom, an illness or an abnormal test result, whether or not a treatment caused it. Whether it did is judged separately.

1
Mild.
2
Moderate.
3
Severe.
4
Life-threatening.
5
Death due to the event.

“Side effects of earlier treatment resolved to grade 1 or less” means they have settled to mild or gone.

Groups and cohorts

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in patient satisfaction with treatment using the Cancer Therapy Satisfaction Questionnaire (CTSQ)

    The CTSQ is a 16-item self-administered questionnaire measuring 3 domains related to patients' satisfaction with cancer therapy.

    Time frame: From baseline to 7 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in the total scores of the CTSQ domains

    Time frame: From baseline to 7 months

  2. Change in patient anxiety with prostate cancer using the Memorial Anxiety Scale for Prostate Cancer (MAX-PC)

    Changes in the MAX-PC scores will be analyzed as full scores (no sub-domains).

    Time frame: From baseline to 7 months

  3. Change in bone-related symptoms using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Quality of Life Measurement in Patients with Bone Pain (FACT-BP)

    Change in FACT-BP scores will be analyzed as full scores (no subdomains).

    Time frame: From baseline to 7 months

  4. Differences in change in treatment satisfaction (measured by CTSQ) between potential subgroups

    Potential subgroups will be identified depending on the number of patients available for subgrouping.

    Time frame: From baseline to 7 months

  5. Differences in change in prostate cancer anxiety (measured by MAX-PC) between potential subgroups

    Potential subgroups will be identified depending on the number of patients available for subgrouping.

    Time frame: From baseline to 7 months

  6. Differences in change in bone pain (measured by FACT-BP) between potential subgroups

    Potential subgroups will be identified depending on the number of patients available for subgrouping.

    Time frame: From baseline to 7 months

As such, Bayer commits to sharing upon request from qualified researchers patient-level clinical trial data, study-level clinical trial data, and protocols from clinical trials in patients for medicines and indications approved in the US and EU as necessary for conducting legitimate research. This applies to data on new medicines and indications that have been approved by the EU and US regulatory agencies on or after January 01, 2014. Interested researchers can use www.vivli.org to request access to anonymized patient-level data and supporting documents from clinical studies to conduct research.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Apr 2019 to primary completion in Dec 2022, 43 months.

Of 109 industry-sponsored observational studies under Prostatic Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 45 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 24 and three quarters within 65. This study's 43 months is close to that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 649 studies reached it within 60 months; a quarter within 29 and three quarters within 141.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Feb 8, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
