Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Primary objective was to demonstrate overall survival improvement with aflibercept compared to placebo in patients receiving docetaxel / prednisone for metastatic androgen-independent prostate cancer (MAIPC).

The secondary objectives were:

* To assess the efficacy of aflibercept compared to placebo on other parameters such prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level, cancer related pain, progression free survival (PFS), tumor-based and skeletal events and health-related quality of life (HRQL);
* To assess the overall safety in both treatment arms;
* To determine the pharmacokinetics of intravenous (IV) aflibercept in this population;
* to determine immunogenicity of IV aflibercept.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study consisted in 3-week treatment cycles until progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, or participant's refusal of further study treatment. After disease progression, participants were to be followed every 3 months until death or the study cutoff date, whichever came first.

The study cut-off date was event-driven and was defined as the date when 873 deaths had occurred.
