About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of Neoadjuvant Docetaxel and ZD 1839 (Iressa) Followed by Radical Prostatectomy in Patients With High Risk, Locally Advanced Prostate Cancer

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of the combination of docetaxel and ZD1839 on destroying prostate cancer before removal of the prostate.

Read the detailed description

It is recognized that there is a subset of patients who are at high risk for progression despite aggressive treatment of localized disease at the time of detection. The critical issue is in addressing micrometastatic disease that has already developed prior to diagnosis. This study utilizes daily doses of ZD1839 and weekly docetaxel for two cycles prior to radical prostatectomy.

ZD1839 has demonstrated antiproliferative activity against human tumor xenografts and in coadministration with cytotoxic agents against prostate cell lines (PC-3 and TSU-PRI). The combination of ZD1839 and docetaxel has been reported to be feasible with an acceptable toxicity profile.

This phase II, single center trial is specifically targeting those patients with high-risk adenosarcoma of the prostate.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate the combination of docetaxel and ZD1839 on pathologic complete response (pCR) in radical prostatectomy specimens. Pathological complete response is defined as no microscopic evidence of neoplastic cells in the resected specimen.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Evaluate the toxicity of docetaxel and ZD1839 in patients with high risk, locally advanced prostate carcinoma prior to surgical resection

  2. Clinical Response

  3. Assessment of margin of positivity at surgical resection

  4. Evaluate PSA response from baseline and post treatment

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. 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 7 Feb 2012. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To evaluate the combination of docetaxel and ZD1839 on pathologic complete response (pCR) in radical prostatectomy specimens. Pathological complete response is defined as no microscopic evidence of neoplastic cells in the resected specimen.. 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 NCT00242918, which also lists 10 linked publications.

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 7 Feb 2012.
