Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Zoledronate may prevent or decrease skeletal (bone)-related events (such as pain or fractures) caused by bone metastases and androgen deprivation therapy. It is not yet known whether treatment with zoledronate is effective in preventing bone-related events in patients who have prostate cancer and bone metastases.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying how well zoledronate works in preventing bone-related events in patients who are receiving androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer and bone metastases.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: zoledronic acid
  • Other: placebo
  • Drug: androgen deprivation therapy
  • Drug: GnRH agonist
  • Dietary Supplement: Calcium supplement
  • Dietary Supplement: Vitamin D
Phase 3

Detailed Description

Zoledronic acid decreases the risk of skeletal related events in men with prostate cancer metastatic to bone and disease progression after primary hormonal therapy.

This study is designed to evaluate whether earlier treatment with zoledronic acid will further decrease the risk of skeletal related events. This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study followed by an open-label study. Patients are stratified according to ECOG performance status (0-1 vs 2), prior skeletal-related event (no vs yes), and serum alkaline phosphatase (< upper limit of normal [ULN] vs ≥ ULN).

The primary objective of the study is to determine whether treatment with zoledronic acid at the time of initiation of androgen deprivation therapy for metastatic prostate cancer will delay the time to first skeletal related event. The secondary objective of the study is to compare the effect of treatment with zoledronic acid to placebo on overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and toxicity in men receiving androgen deprivation therapy for metastatic prostate cancer.

Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or a skeletal-related event. All patients receive concurrent androgen deprivation therapy with a GnRH agonist. Patients also receive oral calcium and (vitamin D) supplements daily. Patients progressing to androgen-independent prostate cancer proceed to the open-label therapy with zoledronic acid IV. Treatment continues for 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or the first skeletal-related event.

Patients are followed periodically for approximately 10 years after entry on the study.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Zoledronic acid + androgen deprivation therapy

4mg by IV over 15 minutes every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or the first skeletal-related event. Participants who progression on blinded treatment before having a skeletal event may continue on open label Zoledronic acid (4 mg by IV over 15 minutes every 3 weeks).

Drug: zoledronic acid
Given IV

Drug: androgen deprivation therapy
Patients concurrently enrolled on the Phase III study of intermittent androgen deprivation in patients with stage D2 prostate cancer will receive androgen deprivation therapy per SWOG-9346. All other patients will receive androgen deprivation therapy at a standard dose and schedule throughout the study.

Drug: GnRH agonist
Patients concurrently enrolled on the Phase III study of intermittent androgen deprivation in patients with stage D2 prostate cancer will receive the GnRH agonist per SWOG-9346. All other patients will receive GnRH agonist at a standard dose and schedule throughout the study.

Dietary Supplement: Calcium supplement
Patients will receive 500 mg by mouth daily of a calcium supplement or a combination tablet containing approximately 500 mg elemental calcium and 400-500 IU vitamin D by mouth daily.

Dietary Supplement: Vitamin D
Patients will receive a multivitamin tablet containing 400-500 IU vitamin D by mouth daily or a combination tablet containing approximately 500 mg elemental calcium and 400-500 IU vitamin D by mouth daily.

Active Comparator: Placebo + androgen deprivation therapy

Placebo bu IV over 15 minutes for 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or the first skeletal-related event. Participants who progress on blinded treatment before having a skeletal event may continue on open label Zoledronic acid.

Other: placebo

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Time to First Skeletal Related Event [Up to 10 years]

    Time to first skeletal related event (SRE) was defined as the time from randomization to first skeletal event. Skeletal events are defined as radiation to bone, clinical fracture, surgery to bone and spinal cord compression and death due to prostate cancer. The median with 95% CI was estimated using the Kaplan Meier method.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Overall Survival [Up to 10 years]

    Overall survival (OS) was defined as the time from randomization to death of any cause. Surviving patients were censored at the date of last follow-up. The median OS with 95% CI was estimated using the Kaplan Meier method.

  2. Progression-free Survival [Up to 10 years]

    Progression Free Survival (PFS) was defined as the time from registration until disease progression or death, whichever occurs first. The median PFS with 95% CI was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Progression is defined as one or more of the following: new bone metastases, biochemical progression of PSA, treatment with radiation therapy while on treatment.

Participant Flow

Recruitment Details Between January 2004 and May 2012, 645 participants were registered and randomized.
Pre-assignment Detail
Arm/Group Title Zoledronic Acid + Androgen Deprivation Therapy Placebo + Androgen Deprivation Therapy
Arm/Group Description 4mg by IV over 15 minutes every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or the first skeletal-related event. Participants who progression on blinded treatment before having a skeletal event may continue on open label Zoledronic acid (4 mg by IV over 15 minutes every 3 weeks). Placebo bu IV over 15 minutes for 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or the first skeletal-related event. Participants who progress on blinded treatment before having a skeletal event may continue on open label Zoledronic acid.

Outcome Measures

1. Primary Outcome
Title Time to First Skeletal Related Event
Description Time to first skeletal related event (SRE) was defined as the time from randomization to first skeletal event. Skeletal events are defined as radiation to bone, clinical fracture, surgery to bone and spinal cord compression and death due to prostate cancer. The median with 95% CI was estimated using the Kaplan Meier method.
Time Frame Up to 10 years

Participants who progression on blinded treatment before having a skeletal event may continue on open label Zoledronic acid (4 mg by IV over 15 minutes every 3 weeks). Placebo bu IV over 15 minutes for 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or the first skeletal-related event.

Statistical Analysis 1
Statistical Analysis Overview Comparison Group Selection Zoledronic Acid + Androgen Deprivation Therapy, Placebo + Androgen Deprivation Therapy
Comments The null hypothesis was that the hazard ratio is greater than or equal to 1.0 versus the alternative hypothesis that the hazard ratio is less than 0.77. With a target of 470 SREs, log-rank statistic had 88% power to detect a 23% decrease in hazard of SRE (equivalent to an increase in median time to SRE from 30 months to 39 months), assuming a one-sided type I error rate of .05.
Type of Statistical Test Non-Inferiority or Equivalence (legacy)
Comments Superiority and futility analysis were conducted for time to first SRE. Lan-Demets analog of the Emerson-Fleming sequential boundary was used to maintain overall significance level of α = .05 while conducting interim analyses on time to first SRE.
Statistical Test of Hypothesis p-Value 0.385
Comments Because of early termination, conditional power was performed under the alternative hypothesis. This is the probability that zoledronic acid is superior to placebo, given time to first SRE data at interim analysis under alternative hypothesis.

2. Secondary Outcome
Title Overall Survival
Description Overall survival (OS) was defined as the time from randomization to death of any cause. Surviving patients were censored at the date of last follow-up. The median OS with 95% CI was estimated using the Kaplan Meier method.

Title Progression-free Survival
Description Progression Free Survival (PFS) was defined as the time from registration until disease progression or death, whichever occurs first. The median PFS with 95% CI was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Progression is defined as one or more of the following: new bone metastases, biochemical progression of PSA, treatment with radiation therapy while on treatment.
