Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as mitoxantrone, etoposide, and vinorelbine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known which drug is more effective in killing tumor cells. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phase 2 Randomized Study Evaluating 3 Chemotherapy Regimens as Second-line Treatment in Patients With Hormone-refractory Metastatic Prostate Cancer

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as mitoxantrone, etoposide, and vinorelbine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known which drug is more effective in killing tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well mitoxantrone works compared to etoposide or vinorelbine works as second-line therapy in treating patients with metastatic prostate cancer that did not respond to hormone therapy.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the palliative response rate in patients with hormone-resistant prostate cancer treated with mitoxantrone hydrochloride vs etoposide vs vinorelbine ditartrate as second-line therapy.

Secondary

  • Determine the duration of palliative response in patients treated with these regimens.
  • Determine the biological response (PSA > 50%) in these patients.
  • Determine the time to progression (biological and clinical) in these patients.
  • Determine the overall survival of these patients.
  • Determine the quality of life and the impact on autonomy of patients over 70 years of age.
  • Determine the toxicity of these regimens in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are randomized to 1 of 3 treatment arms.

  • Arm I: Patients receive mitoxantrone hydrochloride IV over 5 minutes once a week for 3 weeks.
  • Arm II: Patients receive oral etoposide twice daily on days 1-14.
  • Arm III: Patients receive oral vinorelbine ditartrate once daily on days 1 and 8 and oral prednisone once daily on days 1-21.

Treatment in all three arms repeats every 3 weeks for up to 9 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing etoposide, mitoxantrone hydrochloride and prednisone in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Groupe D'Etude des Tumeurs Uro-Genitales at 1 site in France.

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 16 May 2011. 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 France. 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?

Palliative response rate. 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 16 May 2011.
