About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Multicenter, Single Blind Study in Men With Metastatic Androgen Independent Prostate Cancer to Evaluate Sipuleucel-T Manufactured With Different Concentrations of PA2024 Antigen

This is a randomized, multicenter, single blind, Phase 2 trial of immunotherapy in men with metastatic androgen independent prostate cancer to evaluate sipuleucel-T manufactured with different concentrations of PA2024 antigen

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, multicenter, single blind, Phase 2 trial of immunotherapy in men with metastatic androgen independent prostate cancer to evaluate sipuleucel-T manufactured with 1 of 3 different concentrations of PA2024 antigen The primary purpose of this study is to compare the changes in CD54 upregulation between each of these 3 groups of subjects.

What participants receive

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

  • sipuleucel-TBiological

    Sipuleucel-T is an autologous cellular product consisting of antigen presenting cells (APCs) activated with PA2024, a recombinant fusion protein composed of prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP), linked to granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF)

Study groups in NCT00715078
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Cohort AActive comparatorSipuleucel-T with the concentration of 10 μg/mL PA2024 in a cell suspension of 1 x 10^7 peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) per mL. Subjects received infusion of sipuleucel-T, at 2-week intervals, for a total of 3 infusions.
Receives: Biological: sipuleucel-T
Cohort BActive comparatorSipuleucel-T with the concentration of 5 μg/mL PA2024 in a cell suspension of 1 x 10^7 PBMCs per mL. Subjects received infusion of sipuleucel-T, at 2-week intervals, for a total of 3 infusions.
Receives: Biological: sipuleucel-T
Cohort CActive comparatorSipuleucel-T with the concentration of 2 μg/mL PA2024 in a cell suspension of 1 x 10^7 PBMCs per mL. Subjects received infusion of sipuleucel-T, at 2-week intervals, for a total of 3 infusions.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cumulative CD54 Upregulation Ratio Between Each of the Cohorts.

    An analysis of variance model for the log transformed cumulative CD54 upregulation ratio (CD54 upregulation is the fold increase in the final product (FP) from buoyant density separations (BDS) step 65. BDS65 step refers to sample taken after both BDS77 and BDS65 but before ex vivo culture in the presence of antigen PA2024. FP refers to sample taken after ex vivo culture) that includes the antigen concentration cohort as the independent variable was performed. Subjects who received all 3 infusions were included.

    Measured: Baseline, Months 2, 4 and 6.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing sipuleucel-T in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Dendreon at 12 sites 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 9 inclusion and 26 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 23 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites 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 12 May 2014). 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?

Cumulative CD54 Upregulation Ratio Between Each of the Cohorts. (time frame: Baseline, Months 2, 4 and 6.). 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 23 May 2017.
