Public title A randomised phase III trial of docetaxel plus prednisolone vs docetaxel with prednisolone plus either zoledronic acid, strontium-89 or both agents combined (TRAPEZE)
Scientific title
Acronym TRAPEZE
Serial number at source HTA 06/303/205; PR2100
Study hypothesis Please note that the following amendments have been made to this record as of 10/01/2008:
1. Public trial title has been updated from "A randomised phase II feasibility study of Docetaxel (Taxotere) plus Prednisolone versus Docetaxel (Taxotere) plus Prednisolone plus Zoledronic acid (Zometa) versus Docetaxel (Taxotere) plus Prednisolone plus Strontium-89 versus Docetaxel (Taxotere) plus Prednisolone plus Zoledronic acid (Zometa) plus Strontium-89 in Hormone Refractory Prostate Cancer metastatic to bone" to "A randomised phase III trial of docetaxel plus prednisolone vs docetaxel with prednisolone plus either zoledronic acid, strontium-89 or both agents combined (TRAPEZE)."
2. The anticipated start and end dates have been updated from 01/01/2005 and 01/01/2009 to 01/04/2007 and 28/02/2013, respectively.

Study aim:
To compare the efficacy and safety of the four clinical trial arms in the treatment of hormone refractory prostate cancer (HRPC0 patients).

As of 15/02/2011 the target number of participants has been updated from 300 to 1240.

Patient information material Patient information sheet can be found at http://www.trapeze.bham.ac.uk/documents/TRAPEZE_PatientInfo-v2.pdf
Target number of participants Added 15/02/2011: 1240 split into 4 groups. (At time of registration: 300)
Interventions Current interventions as of 15/01/2009:
1. Docetaxel (Taxotere®) 75 mg/m2 as a one hour intravenous infusion every 3 weeks for a maximum of 6 cycles.
2. Docetaxel (Taxotere®) as a one hour intravenous infusion every 3 weeks for a maximum of 6 cycles with Zoledronic acid (Zometa®) every 3 weeks. Zoledronic acid will then continue alone every 4 weeks until you or your doctor wishes to discontinue it.
3. Docetaxel (Taxotere®) as a one hour intravenous infusion every 3 weeks for a maximum of 6 cycles and one treatment of Strontium-89 given 28 days after the last dose of Docetaxel (Taxotere) as a short intravenous injection.
4. Docetaxel (Taxotere®) as a one hour intravenous infusion every 3 weeks for a maximum of 6 cycles, followed by one treatment of Strontium-89 given 28 days later. Zoledronic acid (Zometa®) will be given every 3 weeks throughout the treatment. Zoledronic acid will then continue alone every 4 weeks until you or your doctor wishes to discontinue it.

As part of the main treatment the participants will also be given steroid tablets (prednisolone) to take during the course of treatment with docetaxel. In addition they will receive extra steroid tablets (dexamethasone) for a few days around each infusion of chemotherapy to decrease the potential side effects of docetaxel (allergic reactions and fluid retention).

Previous interventions:
A randomised phase II feasibility study of Docetaxel (Taxotere) plus Prednisolone versus Docetaxel (Taxotere) plus Prednisolone plus Zoledronic acid (Zometa) versus Docetaxel (Taxotere) plus Prednisolone plus Strontium-89 versus Docetaxel (Taxotere) plus Prednisolone plus Zoledronic acid (Zometa) plus Strontium-89 in Hormone Refractory Prostate Cancer metastatic to bone
Primary outcome measure(s) Current primary outcome measures as of 15/01/2009:
