About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind Phase II Trial to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Bicalutamide (Casodex® ) Associated to ZD6474 (Zactima™ ) or to Placebo in Patients With Castration-refractory Metastatic Prostate Cancer Without Any Clinical Symptom Related to Disease Progression

This randomized, double-blind phase II trial is to assess the efficacy and safety of bicalutamide (Casodex® ) associated to ZD6474 (Zactima™ ) or to placebo in patients with castration-refractory metastatic prostate cancer without any clinical symptom related to disease progression. The study is blinded, and subjects will be randomised (1:1 ratio) to either ZD6474 300 mg or placebo. The blinded design ensures robust, unbiased data collection and assessment. Placebo control is necessary to ensure a robust assessment of PSA PFS, and is acceptable in this subject population where all subjects will also received bicalutamide 150 mg o.d. Subjects will continue study treatment until they reach objective biological disease progression or unacceptable toxicity or withdrawal of consent or until end of trial (which event occurs first). The end of study is fixed 12 months after the last randomised patient's first dose of study treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Progression Free Rate at 4 Months

    To assess the effect of vandetanib on biological progression free rate based on PSA level (assessable set).

    PSA progression free rate defined as the number of participants with :

    • After decline from baseline: a 25% increase above the nadir
    • No decline from baseline: a 25% increase above the baseline (min. increase of 2 ng/mL)

    Measured: 4 months

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS) at 4 Months (Instead of Time to PSA Progression)

    Due to the difficulties to assess biological progression date when clinical progression has occurred first, and because of the non-assessment of the clinical progression after treatment discontinuation, Time to PSA progression was not evaluated. PFS was evaluated instead, whether biological or clinical progression.

    Measured: 4 months

  2. Progression Free Survival (PFS) at 4 Months (Instead of Time to Onset of Cancer-related Symptoms)

    Due to the difficulties to assess biological progression date when clinical progression has occurred first, and because of the non-assessment of the clinical progression after treatment discontinuation, Time to onset of cancer-related symptoms was not evaluated. PFS was evaluated instead, whether biological or clinical progression.

    Measured: 4 months

  3. PSA Response Rate

    To investigate the effect of vandetanib on the PSA response rate. PSA response rate defined by the number of participants with a PSA decrease relative to baseline of at least 50%.

    A minimum decrease of 2 ng/mL in absolute value and a confirmation on at least 2 consecutive occasions (at least 4 weeks apart) were requested.

    Measured: 4 months

  4. Overall Survival (OS)

    To investigate the effect of vandetanib on overall survival. Patients alive at the time of the statistical analysis were censored at the time they were last known to be alive. Due to censored data, median overall survival in the placebo group cannot be calculated. OS defined as the number of participants who were alive.

    Measured: End of study (July 2011)

  5. Progression Rate From the Radionuclide Bone Scanning

    To describe the effect of vandetanib on progression rate from the radionuclide bone scanning in a sub-group of patients who had a bone scan within 3 to 6 months after 1st treatment dose. Number of participants with at least 2 new lesions on the radionuclide bone scan compared to baseline assessment were counted for calculation of progression rate.

    Measured: 4 months

  6. Number of Circulating Tumour Cells (CTC) (in Patients Included in Ile de France Centres Only)

    To investigate the effect of vandetanib on CTC. Numbering of CTCs to be performed at baseline, 1 week, 1 and 2 months after randomisation. This study was proposed only to patients followed in a study centre located in Ile de France.

    Correlation between the number of CTCs and PSA response was to be estimated after 1 week, 1 and 2 months of treatment

    Measured: 4 months

  7. Number of Circulating Endothelial Cells (CEC) of Tumour Blood Cells (in Patients Included in Ile de France Centres Only)

    To investigate the effect of vandetanib on CEC. Numbering of CECs was to be performed at baseline, 1 week, 1 month and 2 months after randomisation.

    Correlation between the number of CECs and PSA response was to be estimated after 1 week, 1 month and 2 months of treatment.

    Measured: 4 months

  8. Number of Patients With CECs, CTCs and Gene Signature Profile of CTCs

    To investigate the relationship between response to vandetanib, CTCs and CECs. To investigate gene signature profile of antiangiogenic response by gene micro-array analysis of CTCs.

    Gene signature profile of CTCs was aimed to be compared before and after 2 months of treatment. No blood sample has been taken for the study, and so results on CTCs, CECs of tumour vessels and gene and signature profiles of CTCs were not performed.

    Measured: 4 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ZD6474 (Vandetanib) and Bicalutamide in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Genzyme, a Sanofi Company at 5 sites in France.

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 8 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 5 Dec 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 18 Jul 2012). 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?

Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Progression Free Rate at 4 Months (time frame: 4 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 5 Dec 2016.
