About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Study of Weekly Elesclomol Sodium Plus Docetaxel and Concomitant Prednisone in Subjects With Metastatic Castration Refractory Prostate Cancer (m-CRPC)

This aim of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of elesclomol sodium at escalating doses (ultimately identifying the maximum tolerated dose) when combined with a fixed dose of docetaxel and concomitant prednisone. This study will also characterize the pharmacokinetics of elesclomol and docetaxel.

What is being measured

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

  1. To characterize the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of elesclomol sodium in combination with a fixed dose of docetaxel and concomitant prednisone administered weekly to m-CRPC subjects

    Measured: Jan 2011

  2. To determine the MTD of elesclomol sodium when administered with 30 mg/m2 weekly docetaxel

    Measured: Jan 2011

  3. To characterize the pharmacokinetics of elesclomol sodium and docetaxel in this population

    Measured: Jan 2011

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To evaluate anti-tumor activity at the MTD in castration refractory prostate cancer

    Measured: Jan 2011

  2. Evaluate OS

    Measured: Jan 2011

  3. To characterize the pharmacokinetics of elesclomol metabolites

    Measured: Jan 2011

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Elesclomol Sodium and Docetaxel in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Synta Pharmaceuticals Corp. at 5 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 6 inclusion and 4 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 3 Feb 2014. 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 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

To characterize the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of elesclomol sodium in combination with a fixed dose of docetaxel and concomitant prednisone administered weekly to m-CRPC subjects (time frame: Jan 2011). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 3 Feb 2014.
