About

This phase IIb study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled multi-center study evaluating efficacy and tolerability of Osteodex of patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Osteodex is a poly-bisphosphonate containing three known substances; dextran, alendronate and guanidine.

The objective of the study is to evaluate the relative change of response markers to bone metabolism (B-ALP and S-P1NP) The following objectives will also be evaluated: overall survival, PSA response, other response markers related to bone metabolism (S-CTX and osteocalcin), safety, tolerability, pain and quality of life.

Full description

Males, diagnosed with CRPC, who fulfil the inclusion criteria and does not have any exclusion criteria, will be asked to participate in the study. The subject will be informed orally and in writing about the study procedures and give written informed consent, prior to study start. At the screening visit the following examinations are performed: Physical examination, medical history and concomitant medication. Heart rate, blood pressure, weight, height, body temperature and respiratory rate are measured. Blood samples are drawn and urine sample is collected. ECG is recorded. Bone scan and PET-CT are also performed. At the next visit, baseline, the subject is examined physically and heart rate, blood pressure, weight, body temperature and respiratory rate are measured, ECG is recorded, blood samples drawn and urine sample collected. FACT-P and EQ-5D-5L questionnaire are filled out by the subject. Adverse events and concomitant medication is documented and the first dose of the investigational product is given.

The subject is surveyed for 3 hours at the hospital.

The duration of the study for the individual subject will be approximately 30 weeks from screening to the follow-up visit 2 weeks after the last dose. Each subject will receive at least 7 doses and maximum 13 doses of investigational product.

A Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) will be designated and will be responsible to monitor/review all study related safety data. After review of safety data the DMC will provide recommendation as to whether the dose escalation can proceed as planned according to the protocol.

2. Any treatment modalities involving chemotherapy, radiation or major surgery within 4 weeks prior to treatment in this study.
3. Simultaneous participation in any other study involving investigational drugs or having participated in a study less than 4 weeks prior to start of study treatment.
4. Any condition, including the presence of laboratory abnormalities, which confounds the ability to interpret data from the study or places the patient at unacceptable risk if he participates in the study.
5. Plasma glucose level ≥7 mmol/l (or >120 mg/dl) at screening.
6. Known brain metastases.
7. Dental surgery (dental extraction), periodontal disease, local trauma including poorly fitting dentures within 6 months prior to the first dose of study drug.
