Mitoxantrone Following Surgery in Treating Patients With Prostate Cancer at High Risk for Recurrence
A Phase 2 study testing mitoxantrone hydrochloride in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology.

About this study
Official title: A Phase II Trial of Adjuvant Mitoxantrone (NSC #301739) for High Risk Patients Following Radical Prostatectomy
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Giving chemotherapy after surgery may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of mitoxantrone given after surgery in treating patients who have prostate cancer that is at high risk for recurrence.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES: I. Assess the feasibility of enrolling patients with adenocarcinoma of the prostate at high risk for recurrence following radical prostatectomy in an adjuvant mitoxantrone trial. II. Determine if this adjuvant therapy results in a delay in time to failure or a decrease in the number of treatment failures compared to historical controls in this patient population.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing mitoxantrone hydrochloride in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology.
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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.
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.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Decrease in time to failure (time frame: Up to 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00003858, which also lists 1 linked publication.
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 13 Jul 2016.
