prednisone and Cancer, Second Primary

prednisone has been researched along with Cancer, Second Primary in 184 studies

Prednisone: A synthetic anti-inflammatory glucocorticoid derived from CORTISONE. It is biologically inert and converted to PREDNISOLONE in the liver.
prednisone : A synthetic glucocorticoid drug that is particularly effective as an immunosuppressant, and affects virtually all of the immune system. Prednisone is a prodrug that is converted by the liver into prednisolone (a beta-hydroxy group instead of the oxo group at position 11), which is the active drug and also a steroid.

Trial Overview

Trial Outcomes

Overall Survival (OS)

Overall survival was defined as the time from randomization to date of death from any cause. (NCT01715285)
Timeframe: Up to 66 months

Radiographic Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

Radiographic PFS was defined as the time (in months) interval from randomization to the first date of radiographic progression or death. Radiographic progression included progression by bone scan (according to modified Prostate Cancer Working Group 2 [PCWG2] criteria), defined as at least 2 new lesions on bone scan and progression of soft tissue lesions by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST] 1.1 criteria). As per the RECIST 1.1 guideline, progression requires a 20 percent (%) increase in the sum of diameters of all target lesions and a minimum absolute increase of 5 millimeter (mm) in the sum as compared to nadir sum of diameter. (NCT01715285)
Timeframe: Up to 44 months

Time to Initiation of Chemotherapy

Time to initiation of chemotherapy was defined as the time (in months) interval from the date of randomization to the date of initiation of cytotoxic chemotherapy for prostate cancer. (NCT01715285)
Timeframe: Up to 66 months

Time to Pain Progression

"Time to pain progression was defined as the time (in months) interval from randomization to the first date a participant experienced a greater than or equal to (>=) 30 percent (%) increase in Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form (BPI-SF) from baseline in the BPI-SF worst pain intensity (Item 3) observed at 2 consecutive evaluations (>=4) weeks apart. BPI-SF was an 11-item questionnaire, designed to assess severity and impact of pain on daily functions. Total score ranged from 0 to 10 with 0 representing no pain and 10 representing pain as bad as you can imagine." (NCT01715285)
Timeframe: Up to 66 months

Time to Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Progression

Time to PSA progression was defined as the time (in months) interval from the date of randomization to the date of PSA progression, according to PCWG2 criteria.

(NCT01715285)
Timeframe: Up to 66 months

Change in Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Neurotoxicity Trial Outcome Index (FACT-Ntx TOI) Score From Baseline to Cycle 12

A combined scale was used to assess the quality of life (QOL) comprising of the well established and validated functional well-being (FWB) and physical well-being (PWB) components of FACT-G version 4 (14 questions), which will address the physical and functional well-being of multiple myeloma patients plus the FACT-neurotoxicity (NTX, 11 questions), which will evaluate symptoms of neurotoxicity. This pooled scale is referred to as the FACT Ntx TOI. The FACT-Ntx TOI has 25 items and the score ranges from 0 (worst possible outcome) to 100 (best possible outcome). (NCT00602641)
Timeframe: Administered at registration, the beginning of cycle 7 d1, the end of cycle 12 d28, then at the end of cycle 18, 24, and 38 d28. For patients who discontinue treatment early, assessed at time of discontinuation and at the next quarterly follow-up visit.

Overall Survival

Overall survival was defined as time from randomization to death from any cause. (NCT00602641)

Very Good Partial Response (VGPR) Rate

Response evaluation was based on the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) response criteria. VGPR rate was defined as patients achieving at least VGPR which include patients who achieving complete response (CR) and VGPR.

VGPR refers to patients who meet the following criteria: Serum and urine M-component detectable by immunofixation but not on electrophoresis; Or 90% or greater reduction in serum M-component plus urine M-component <100 mg per 24 hours; If the serum and urine M protein are unmeasurable and the immunoglobulin free light chain parameter is being used to measure response, a ≥ 90% decrease in the difference between involved and uninvolved free light chain (FLC) levels is required in place of the M protein criteria. (NCT00602641)
Timeframe: Assessed every cycle (1 cycle=28 days) for the first 12 cycles, and then every 2 cycles while on treatment. Post treatment assessed every 3 months < 2 years from study entry, every 6 months if 2-5 years, every 12 months if 6-10 years from study entry.
