Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryCompare Survival Between a Control or Standard Therapy Arm of Docetaxel + Placebo + Prednisone With Docetaxel + Atrasentan + Prednisone in Patients With Hormone Refractory Prostate Cancer.Up to 7 years after study opensMeasured from date of registration to date of death due to any cause. Patient last known to be alive are censored at date of last contact.
Primary
Compare Progression-free Survival Between a Control or Standard Therapy Arm of Docetaxel + Placebo + Prednisone With Docetaxel + Atrasentan + Prednisone in Patients With Hormone Refractory Prostate Cancer.
Up to 7 years after study opens
Measured from date of registration to date of first observation of progressive disease, or death due to any cause. Patients without progression are censored at date of last contact. Disease progression is defined by confirmed bone disease progression, soft tissue or pain progression.
SecondaryCompare Pain Progression Between the Two Study Arms.Up to 52 weeks
Pain progression is defined as patients reporting an increase of at least two Worst Pain points, maintained for at least two consecutive assessments, increase to Level 3 (strong opioid) on the Pain Medication Log Analgesic Code for patients receiving Level 2 (weak opioid) analgesics at randomization, or an increase to Level 2 or 3 analgesics for patients receiving Level 0 or 1 analgesics at randomization.
SecondaryCompare Qualitative and Quantitative Toxicity Between the Two Study ArmsAssessed every 3 weeks up to 52 weeksOnly adverse events that are possibly, probably or definitely related to study drug are reported.
SecondaryCompare Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Response Rates Between the Experimental Arm and the Standard Arm.Up to 7 years after study opensPSA Partial Response: Greater than or equal to 50% reduction in baseline PSA. There must be no evidence of soft tissue progression, or confirmed none disease progression, or pain progression.
SecondaryCompare Objective Responses Between the Two Treatment Groups in Patients With Measurable Disease as Defined by RECIST Criteria.Up to 52 weeks
Complete Response (CR): Complete disappearance of all measurable and non-measurable disease. No new lesions. No disease related symptoms. Normalization of markers and other abnormal lab values. PSA ≤ .2 ng/ml. Partial Response (PR): Applies only to patients with at least one measurable lesion. Greater than or equal to 30% decrease under baseline of the sum of longest diameters of all target measurable lesions. No unequivocal progression of non-measurable disease. No new lesions.
OtherCompare Elements of Quality of Life Between Treatment Arms: Pain Palliation Response, as Measured by the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI)up to 18 months study period
Pain palliation is the proportion of patients showing a two-point reduction in the Worst Pain score (WPS) maintained for two consecutive assessments with no increase in analgesic use. Increase in analgesic use is defined as an increase in Analgesic code Level to 2 (weak opioid) or 3 (strong opioid). Patients will be classified as pain palliated or not palliated. Patients with a WPS of "0" will be defined as "stable" if their WPS remains "0" for Weeks 7 and 10 with no increase in analgesic use, but they will not be categorized as responders. Pain palliation response is measured by BPI short form that has the following: yes/no question about pain today; 4 pain rating questions (worst pain, least pain, average pain, and current pain); pain medications and pain relief; 7 items addressing effect of pain on functioning. For patients who continue to receive treatment beyond 12 treatment cycles, the Worst Pain item is measured by Pain Medication Log and Pain Assessment
OtherNumber of Patients With a Change in Functional Statusup to 18 months study period
Functional status will be measured with the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Prostate (FACT-P) Trial Outcome Index. The FACT-P also addresses four general domains of QOL (physical, functional, emotional, and social well-being subscales) as well as symptom concerns associated with prostate cancer and its treatment.

SECONDARYCompare Pain Progression Between the Two Study Arms.Up to 52 weeks
Only those patients who progressed on study were included in this analysis. The proportion of patients with pain progression is calculated using number of patients with pain progression as the numerator and the total number of patients who progressed on study as the denominator.
