DLT was defined using National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events Version 3.0 as any Grade 3 or 4 hematological or non-hematological toxicity occurring at any dose level until the end of Week 6, and suspected to be reasonably related to the investigational product by the Investigator and/or Sponsor except for allergic/ hypersensitivity reactions and any Grade 3/4 out-of-range laboratory values without any clinical correlate, which were reversible within 7 days.

Number of Subjects With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious TEAEs and Related TEAEs

An AE was defined as any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of study drug, whether or not considered related to the study drug or worsening of pre-existing medical condition, whether or not related to study drug. A serious adverse event (SAE) 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 or was otherwise considered medically important. Treatment-emergent are events between first dose of study drug that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pre-treatment state. TEAEs include both Serious TEAEs and non-serious TEAEs.Treatment-related are events which had causal relationship to study drug as assessed by the Investigator and were suspected to be reasonably related to the study drug.

Progression was confirmed if progression criterion was met in next 2 assessments as well.) PFS PCWG2 criteria: time from study entry to disease progression or death. Progression was defined as first appearance of progression according to PSA (for subject's whose PSA decreased after baseline, progression was defined as 25% PSA increase relative to nadir. Progression was confirmed if another assessment measured at least 3 weeks later met the criterion as well; for subject's whose PSA did not decrease after baseline, progression was defined as 25% PSA increase relative to baseline assessed 12 weeks after baseline).

Time to Progression (TTP)

TTP was calculated as the time between the date of imaging for the earliest visit where progressive disease was detected and the first dose date plus 1 day. Participants without event are censored on the date of last tumor assessment.

Total Pain Score Using Brief Pain Inventory-Short Form (BPI-sf)

BPI-sf is an 11-item self-report questionnaire that is designed to assess the severity and impact of pain on daily functions. BPI-sf has 4 questions that assess pain intensity (worst, least, average, right now) and 7 questions that assess impact of pain on daily functions (general activity, mood, walking ability, normal work, relations with other people, sleep, enjoyment of life). Each question is answered on a scale ranging from 0 to 10;'0=No pain and 10=Pain as bad as you can imagine'.Total score is reported as average of individual questions ranges from 0 to 10, with lower scores being indicative of less pain or pain interference.Data was not available for "EMD 525797 250 mg" arm for FUP Weeks 15, 19, 23, 27, 31, 35, 39, 43, 47, 51, 55, 59, 63, 67, 71, 75 and "EMD 525797 1000 mg" arm for FUP Weeks 47, 51, 55, 59, 63, 67, 71 and "EMD 525797 1500 mg arm" for FUP Weeks 35, 39, 43, 47, 51, 55, 59, 63, 67, 71, 75 respectively as no subjects were evaluable at the specified FUP visits.

Brief Summary

This study is intended to test an experimental new drug called, EMD 525797 (Study Drug). This drug is not yet approved for sale and has only been tested in a small number of people to date (prior to this study starting another research study was carried out involving 37 healthy volunteers receiving the Study Drug). Until more is known about this Study Drug, it can only be used in research studies. This research study is planned to answer important questions about how the Study Drug is tolerated and how it may work in patients with prostate cancer with bone metastases. This is a small study which is expected to include 24 patients, and will be conducted in approximately 3 hospitals in Germany and 1 hospital in Brussels, Belgium. The study will last until the last patient has had their last study visit which is expected to be about 18 months in total.

Inclusion Criteria: Provision of signed written informed consent Age superior or equal to 18 years Subjects with histological or cytologically proven prostate cancer with evidence of bone metastases on bone scans or CT / MRI after prior chemotherapy with e.g. taxane or mitoxantrone Patients should have undergone bilateral orchiectomy or should be on continuous androgen deprivation therapy with a gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist or antagonist and should have stopped any anti-androgen therapy for at least 4 weeks before inclusion in the study. Patients should be either on stable (i.e., since at least 3 months) ongoing therapy with a bisphosphonate or without any bisphosphonate therapy. Initiation of a bisphosphonate therapy within this time period prior the study or during the study is not allowed. Total serum testosterone should be less than 50 ng/dL or 1.7 nmol/L. Evidence of progressive disease, defined by at least two PSA values above the individual nadir level with an increase of at least 10% each determined at a minimum interval of 2 weeks before screening examination. Presence of a measurable lesion is not required for study entry. Nodal (in lymph nodes superior or equal to 2cm) or visceral progression is sufficient for trial entry independent of PSA. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 2 at study entry and an estimated life expectancy of at least 3 months. Adequate hematological function, defined by white blood cell count (WBC) greater than or equal to 3 x 109/L with absolute neutrophil count (ANC) greater than or equal to 1.5 x 109/L, and lymphocyte count greater than or equal to 0.5 x 109/L; platelet count greater than or equal to 100 x 109/L; and hemoglobin greater than or equal to 9 g/dL. Adequate hepatic function defined by total bilirubin level less than or equal to 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels less than or equal to 2.5 x ULN; or, for subjects with documented metastatic disease to the liver, AST and ALT levels less than or equal to 5 x ULN. Adequate renal function defined by serum creatinine less than 1.5 mg/dL. Effective contraception. If the risk of conception exists, pregnancy has to be avoided during the study (SCR to EOS) as well as during at least 3 month after last dosing using an effective contraception method (e.g. double barrier method) Exclusion Criteria: Any systemic cytotoxic cancer treatment within 4 weeks before treatment with EMD 525797. Acute pathologic fracture, spinal cord progression, hypercalcemia (within 4 weeks period prior to screening). Radiotherapy to bone lesions, orthopaedic surgery, or any investigational drug in the 30 days before the start of treatment in this study and during treatment period, and/or biopsies involving bone within 2 weeks before the start of treatment in this study. Supraphysiologic doses of steroids (defined as superior or equal to 7.5 mg of prednisone equivalents per day). Previous treatment with anti-integrin therapy. Confirmed or clinically suspected brain metastases. Known hypersensitivity reactions to any of the components of the study medication. History of allergic reactions to other monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapy. Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic greater or equal to 160 mmHg, diastolic greater than or equal to 100 mmHg). Current history of chronic daily aspirin therapy (ASS at doses inferior or equal to 100 mg is permitted), bleeding disorders and/or history of thromboembolic events (history of superficial thrombophlebitis is not an exclusion criterion); thrombolytics or oral or parenteral anticoagulants within 10 days prior to study start and during treatment period. Severe peripheral vascular disease or ulceration. Unstable angina pectoris, or myocardial infarction within 6 months before start of study treatment, clinical significant abnormal ECG at screening Known alcohol or drug abuse. Participation in another clinical trial within the past 30 days before start of study treatment. Dementia, altered mental status, or any psychiatric condition that would prohibit the understanding or rendering of informed consent. Ongoing uncontrolled infections, including active or chronic hepatitis B or C, ongoing HIV infection. Legal incapacity or limited legal capacity. All other significant diseases which, in the opinion of the Investigator, might impair the subject's tolerance of study treatment.
