Treatment satisfaction with Ra-223 in Japan

Trial purpose

This study aims to answer the research question: Are Japanese bone metastatic CRPC patients satisfied with their Ra-223 treatment, and what factors drive such satisfaction? It also aims to determine patient anxiety regarding prostate cancer while on treatment with Ra-223, and assess the effect on quality of life.

Primary Outcome

  • Change in patient satisfaction with treatment using the Cancer Therapy Satisfaction Questionnaire (CTSQ)
    The CTSQ is a 16-item self-administered questionnaire measuring 3 domains related to patients’ satisfaction with cancer therapy.
    date_rangeTime Frame:
    From baseline to 7 months

Secondary Outcome

  • Change in the total scores of the CTSQ domains
    date_rangeTime Frame:
    From baseline to 7 months
  • Change in patient anxiety with prostate cancer using the Memorial Anxiety Scale for Prostate Cancer (MAX-PC)
    Changes in the MAX-PC scores will be analyzed as full scores (no sub-domains).
    date_rangeTime Frame:
    From baseline to 7 months
  • Change in bone-related symptoms using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Quality of Life Measurement in Patients with Bone Pain (FACT-BP)
    Change in FACT-BP scores will be analyzed as full scores (no subdomains).
    date_rangeTime Frame:
    From baseline to 7 months
  • Differences in change in treatment satisfaction (measured by CTSQ) between potential subgroups
    Potential subgroups will be identified depending on the number of patients available for subgrouping.
