Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if the addition of ZD1839 Iressa™ to standard treatment with Casodex® (bicalutamide) for locally advanced prostate cancer can detect a difference in the rate of decrease of prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Randomized Placebo Controlled Study to Assess the Rate of PSA Decrease, Anatomical & Metabolic Changes in the Prostate Determined by MRI/3D-MRS & Histological Changes by Biopsy in Subjects With Locally Advanced Prostate Carcinoma Treated With Either Casodex® (Bicalutamide) Alone or the Combination of Casodex® & ZD1839 (Iressa™)

The purpose of this study is to determine if the addition of ZD1839 Iressa™ to standard treatment with Casodex® (bicalutamide) for locally advanced prostate cancer can detect a difference in the rate of decrease of prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels.

What is being measured

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

  1. Determine the difference in the rate of PSA decrease between treatments over a 6 months period.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. To detect changes in prostatic metabolites by using in vivo magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS)

  2. To detect changes in prostate gland using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

  3. To detect changes in serum tumor markers

  4. To assess histopathological changes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Iressa in people with Locally Advanced Prostate Cancer, run by AstraZeneca at 3 sites in Norway.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 25 Jan 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Norway. 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?

Determine the difference in the rate of PSA decrease between treatments over a 6 months period.. 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 25 Jan 2011.
