About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Primary Chemotherapy With Docetaxel Plus Capecitabine in Selected Patients With Newly Diagnosed Localized or Locally Advanced Prostate Cancer

Purpose: The purpose of this clinical trial is to look at the chemotherapy combination of docetaxel and capecitabine in the treatment of newly diagnosed or locally advanced prostate cancer, and to determine if this treatment is an acceptable, effective and a safe treatment option. In addition, this clinical trial will evaluate how this treatment affects chemicals (enzymes), and other cancer related genetic changes in the tumor. Optional: This clinical trial will conduct extra imaging studies for research purposes including combined endorectal prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRSI) and diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) to evaluate prostate cancer and response to study treatment.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The percentage of patients who respond to treatment

    To evaluate the response rate associated with capecitabine and docetaxel combination chemotherapy in selected patients with localized or locally advanced prostate cancer. Response is defined as a reduction in the PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) by at least 50%.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Capecitabine and Docetaxel in people with Prostate Cancer, run by University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center at 2 sites 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 21 Jan 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The percentage of patients who respond to treatment (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 21 Jan 2015.
