About this study
Official title: A Phase II Study of Imatinib and Docetaxel in Metastatic Hormone Refractory Prostate Cancer
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of two drugs, docetaxel and Gleevec®(also called imatinib), in prostate cancer that no longer responds to hormone therapy. The investigators are interested in finding out if the combination of these two drugs is more effective than docetaxel alone in the treatment of prostate cancer.
Read the detailed description
This is a non-randomized multicenter Phase II trial of Gleevec and docetaxel in chemo naïve metastatic hormone refractory prostate cancer. The primary objective of this study is to assess the time to disease progression in patients with hormone refractory prostate cancer treated with daily oral imatinib and intravenous docetaxel, administered every three weeks. Secondary objectives include: 1) to assess the rate of response to imatinib and docetaxel, using Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) and/or measurable disease; 2) to assess the overall survival of patients with hormone refractory prostate cancer treated with imatinib and docetaxel; and 3) to evaluate the qualitative and quantitative toxicities of this combination.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Overall Time To Progression (TTP)
TTP is the amount of time from date of registration to date of first documentation of progression or symptomatic deterioration. For progression, one or more of the following must occur: (1) 20% increase in the sum of longest diameters of target measurable lesions over smallest sum observed (over baseline if no decrease during therapy) using the same techniques as baseline. (2) Increase in PSA by at least 25% from baseline in patients whose PSA did not decrease, and of 50% from nadir in patients whose PSA decreased with a confirmation 3 weeks later. (3) Unequivocal progression of non-measurable disease in the opinion of the treating physician (an explanation must be provided). (4) Appearance of any new lesion/site. (5) Death due to disease without prior documentation of progression and without symptomatic deterioration, which is defined as global deterioration of health status requiring discontinuation of treatment without objective evidence of progression.
Measured: Up to 24 months
Secondary outcomes (2)
Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Response Rate
PSA response rate is the number of participants who experienced a best response of: complete response, CR (PSA less than or equal to 0.2 ng/mL, documented two or more times, a minimum of four weeks apart), partial response, PR (a decline in PSA by at least 50%, confirmed by a second PSA value four or more weeks later) or stable disease (does not qualify for CR, PR, Progression or Symptomatic Deterioration, at least 6 weeks after registration) / total number of analyzable patients.
Measured: Up to 12 months
Overall Survival (OS)
OS is the amount of time in months from the date of registration to the date of death from any cause.
Measured: Up to 60 months

The investigators are interested in finding out if the combination of these two drugs is more effective than docetaxel alone in the treatment of prostate cancer.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Gleevec and Docetaxel in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Leonard Appleman 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?
The sponsor lists 13 inclusion and 7 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 9 Aug 2017. 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Aug 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Overall Time To Progression (TTP) (time frame: Up to 24 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 9 Aug 2017.
