Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug with peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: High Dose Chemotherapy With Stem Cell Rescue Followed By Consolidation Treatment in Patients With Metastatic Hormone-Refractory Prostate Cancer

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug with peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of high dose chemotherapy plus peripheral stem cell transplantation followed by combination chemotherapy in treating patients with metastatic prostate cancer that has not responded to hormone therapy.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the complete and partial remission rates and event free and overall survival of patients with metastatic hormone refractory prostate cancer treated with high dose chemotherapy plus peripheral stem cell transplantation followed by consolidation chemotherapy. II. Evaluate the toxic effects associated with this treatment in these patients. III. Evaluate the quality of life, and need for analgesics, in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients are stratified by stage of disease and extent of metastatic disease. Patients receive daily filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously for 4 days until peripheral blood stem cells are collected. Patients then receive carmustine IV over 2 hours on day -2 and melphalan IV over 20 minutes on day -1. Stem cell infusion will be on day 0. At 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after transplant, patients receive vinorelbine IV over 10 minutes and cisplatin IV over 24 hours. Quality of life and pain are assessed before the transplantation, just before discharge after transplantation, prior to each consolidation course, and then at 3, 6, and 12 months after the final course of chemotherapy. Patients are followed at least every 3 months for the first 2 years, and then every 6 months thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 18-45 patients will be accrued for this study within 2 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing filgrastim, carmustine and cisplatin in people with Prostate Cancer, run by University of Maryland, Baltimore at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Nov 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Nov 2019.
