- Progression Free Survival (PFS) Time [ Time Frame: Time from randomization until data cut-off date (30 April 2013), assessed up to 2 years ]PFS was defined as time from randomization until the first documented sign of objective radiographic disease progression (ORDP) or death from any cause. Death was considered as an event only if it was reported within 12 weeks after last tumor assessment without progression. ORDP was defined as: Bone lesion progression (2 or more new bone lesions compared to baseline) assessed with bone scintigraphy. Assessment was based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.0 (RECIST v1.0) modified as per Prostate Cancer Working Group 2 (PCWG-2); Soft-tissue lesion progression assessed with CT scans according to RECIST v1.0 modified as per PCWG-2; Presence of skeletal events defined as cord compression/fracture documented via a scheduled or unscheduled radiographic assessment triggered by increased pain or other signs and/or symptoms, based on the investigator's discretion; Non-radiological events, including emergency bone irradiation and surgery, were not investigated.
- Overall Survival [ Time Frame: Time from randomization until data cut-off date (30 April 2013), assessed up to 2 years ]Overall Survival was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of death from any cause.
- Time to Tumor Progression [ Time Frame: Time from randomization until data cut-off date (30 April 2013), assessed up to 2 years ]Time to tumor progression was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the date of ORDP. ORDP was defined as: Bone lesion progression (2 or more new bone lesions compared to baseline) assessed with bone scintigraphy, which had to be confirmed by bone scintigraphy 6 weeks later if subjects remained asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic. Assessments were to be based on RECIST v1.0 modified according to PCWG-2; Soft-tissue lesion progression assessed with CT scans according to RECIST v1.0 modified as per PCWG-2; Presence of skeletal events defined as cord compression or fracture documented via a scheduled or unscheduled radiographic assessment triggered by increased pain or other signs and/or symptoms, based on the investigator's discretion; Non-radiological events, including emergency bone irradiation and surgery, were not investigated.
- Number of Subjects With Presence of Tumor Response and Disease Control (DC) in Soft Tissue Lesions [ Time Frame: Time from randomization until data cut-off date (30 April 2013), assessed up to 2 years ]Presence of tumor response in soft tissue lesions was defined as the presence of at least 1 confirmed complete response (CR) or confirmed partial response (PR) in soft tissue lesions, documented by computed tomography (CT) scans. Presence of DC in soft tissue lesions was defined as the presence of at least 1 confirmed CR or confirmed PR or stable disease (SD) lasting at least 12 weeks after randomization. Tumor response assessments were based on RECIST v1.0 modified according to the PCWG-2. The response was evaluated for subjects with measurable disease at baseline. According to RECIST v1.0, CR=disappearance of all target and non-target lesions; PR=at least 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions and non-complete response/non-progressive disease in non-target lesions.
- Number of Subjects With New Bone Lesions Compared to Baseline [ Time Frame: Time from randomization until data cut-off date (30 April 2013), assessed up to 2 years ]New bone lesions were evaluated by bone scintigraphy for subjects with bone lesions at baseline.
- Number of Subjects With Presence of DC in Bone Lesions [ Time Frame: At Weeks 13, 19 and 25 ]Presence of DC in bone lesions was defined as the appearance of less than 2 new bone lesions, documented by bone scintigraphy.
- Bone and Soft Tissue Lesions Composite Tumor Response [ Time Frame: Time from randomization until data cut-off date (30 April 2013), assessed up to 2 years ]Bone and soft tissue lesions composite tumor response was defined as the presence of both a confirmed CR or PR, documented by CT scans, and a DC in bone lesions, documented by bone scintigraphy. CR was defined as disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and PR was defined as at least 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions and non-complete response/non-progressive disease in non-target lesions. Presence of DC in bone lesions was defined as the appearance of less than 2 new bone lesions.
- Number of Subjects With Presence of Skeletal Related Events [ Time Frame: Time from randomization until data cut-off date (30 April 2013), assessed up to 2 years ]Presence of skeletal related events was defined as cord compression or fracture documented via a scheduled or unscheduled radiographic assessment triggered by increased pain or other signs and/or symptoms at the investigator discretion. Non-radiological events, including emergency bone irradiation and surgery, were not investigated.
- Number of Subjects With Presence of Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Response [ Time Frame: Time from randomization until data cut-off date (30 April 2013), assessed up to 2 years ]PSA response was defined as a decrease greater than 50 percent (%) in PSA value from baseline for 2 consecutive evaluations greater than or equal to (>=) 3 Weeks apart.
- Minimum Percentage Change From Baseline in PSA Serum Concentration [ Time Frame: Baseline, up to data cut-off date (30 April 2013), assessed up to 2 years ]
- Minimum Percentage Change From Baseline in the Number of Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs) [ Time Frame: Time from randomization until data cut-off date (30 April 2013), assessed up to 2 years ]
- Overall Minimum Percentage Change From Previous Time Point in Circulating Tumor Cells (CTC) [ Time Frame: Cycle 1, Day 1 (Week 1): pre-dose, Cycle 3, Day 1 (Week 7): pre-dose, and Cycle 5, Day 1 (Week 13): pre-dose ]
- Number of Subjects With Any Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious TEAEs, TEAEs Leading to Death, and TEAEs Leading to Discontinuation [ Time Frame: From the first dose of study drug administration until 50 days after the last dose of study drug administration or until cut-off date (30 April 2013), assessed up to 2 years ]An AE was defined as any new untoward medical occurrences/worsening of pre-existing medical condition without regard to possibility of causal relationship. A serious adverse event was an AE that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death; life threatening; persistent/significant disability/incapacity; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; congenital anomaly/birth defect. TEAEs were defined as those AEs that started between first dose of study drug and up to 50 days after last dose.
