Inclusion criteria

  • Participants have had disease progression while on anti-cancer treatment, and are not eligible for the treatments, or their lesions are not amenable to palliative EBRT.
  • Participants must have a confirmed diagnosis of at any time prior to their participation in this clinical trial with multiple bone lesions with at least 1 metastatic painful osteoblastic tumor that causes a minimum pain score of 4 on the NRS11.
  • Participants must have bone cancer in one or more skeletal locations as identified by a 99mTc-diphosphonate bone scan within 60 days of dosing. At least one lesion must be osteoblastic. If described as osteosclerotic, radiology confirmation that the lesion is osteoblastic is required. Adequate organ function, including:
  • Renal function, defined as a measured (CrCl) ≥30 mL/min as per Cockroft Gault or based on radioisotope (GFR).
  • Hematologic function, defined as a count of >100,000 cells/mm3 and an (ANC) of >1000 cells/mm3.
  • ≥8 g/dL.
  • Liver function:
  • Total ≤1.5 × the (ULN).
  • (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤5 × ULN with participants with known liver metastases.
  • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤3 × ULN with participants with Gilbert's Syndrome.
  • of at least 16 weeks from the date of study drug administration (Day 1).
  • performance status >60%, assessed during the screening period prior to study drug administration.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Participants are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Participants who have received maximum tolerable radiation to the spinal cord, have untreated pathologic bone fracture, spinal cord compression, unstable spine, or imminent long bone fracture.
  • Participants with a bone scan pattern showing diffuse, intense skeletal uptake with absent or faint kidney / bladder activity, typically indicating widespread bone or high bone turnover from metabolic or hematologic diseases (Superscan) pattern on Technetium 99-m bone scan scintigraphy - defined as diffusely increased skeletal uptake with absent or markedly reduced renal and soft tissue visualization - are excluded from the study.
  • Participants with impending or suspected or at high risk for spinal cord compression.
  • Participants with neurogenic pain or significant pain associated with soft tissue lesions or other pain that, in the opinion of the Investigator, might interfere with the assessment of pain relief for bone tumors.
  • Participants who require surgery over their trial period that would require pain medication or analgesia.
  • illness or clinically relevant trauma within 2 weeks before the administration of the product.
  • History of unstable angina (defined as angina at rest) or new-onset angina diagnosed within the 3 months prior to screening.
  • History of myocardial infarction within 3 months prior to screening, as determined by medical history / Baseline .
  • Uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmias (≥Grade 3 version 5.0) or any history of ≥Grade 3 arrhythmia.
  • Congestive heart failure ≥ Class 2.
  • Clinically significant abnormalities on ECG at screening including interval (Fridericia's formula) >450 msec for males or 470 msec for females at screening.
  • Inability to complete the needed investigational and standard imaging examinations due to any reason (eg, severe claustrophobia, inability to lie still for the entire imaging time).
  • Presence of any other condition that may increase the risk associated with study participation or interfere with the interpretation of study results, and, in the opinion of the study Investigator, would make the participant inappropriate for entry into the study.
  • Participants with active infections (, human papillomavirus. Hepatitis A, , and ).
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(22)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed

The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).

Your pathology report is the document that shows this.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Metastases

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

Creatinine clearance (CrCl)

How quickly the kidneys clear creatinine, a waste product, from the blood. A study may estimate it from a blood test with age, weight and sex (often by the Cockcroft–Gault formula), or measure it using blood and urine collected over a set time. Given in mL/min; higher is better.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

Absolute neutrophil count (ANC)

The number of neutrophils, white blood cells that help fight infection, in a given amount of blood. Too few raises the risk of infection.

It is a count, not a percentage of the white cells. Limits are written in units that mean the same: ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹/L is ≥ 1,500 per mm³ (µL). Each lab has its own reference range.

Hemoglobin (Hb)

The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

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.

Karnofsky performance status (KPS)

A 0–100 scale of how well someone can carry out everyday activities. 100 is no complaints and no signs of illness; 70 is able to look after yourself but not to work or keep up normal activity; 50 is needing considerable help and frequent medical care.

Studies often ask for 60 or 70 and above. Your doctor gives the score.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

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.

ECG (electrocardiogram)

A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.

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.

NYHA class (heart failure)

The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.

I
No limits: ordinary activity causes no undue tiredness or breathlessness.
II
Slight limits: comfortable at rest, ordinary activity causes symptoms.
III
Marked limits: comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity causes symptoms.
IV
Symptoms even at rest; any activity makes them worse.

Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.

QT and QTc

On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.

The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.
