Trial summary

RATIONALE: Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Antihormone therapy, such as bicalutamide, may lessen the amount of androgens made by the body. Everolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Read more about this study

  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Participants must be adult males >18 years.

About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of Bicalutamide and RAD001 in Patients With Hormone-Independent Prostatic Adenocarcinoma (HIPC) After the First-Line Androgen Deprivation Therapy

RATIONALE: Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Antihormone therapy, such as bicalutamide, may lessen the amount of androgens made by the body. Everolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying bicalutamide and everolimus to see how well they work compared with bicalutamide in treating patients with recurrent or metastatic prostate cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To compare the PSA response rate in patients with hormone-independent recurrent or metastatic adenocarcinoma of the prostate treated with bicalutamide and everolimus after first-line androgen deprivation therapy.
  • To evaluate the time to treatment failure and overall survival of these patients.
  • To assess the toxicity of bicalutamide and everolimus in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to disease status (metastatic disease vs biochemical recurrence without measurable disease).

Patients receive oral bicalutamide and oral everolimus once daily on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 28-42 days and then every 3 months thereafter.

What is being measured

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

  1. PSA Response Rate

    The PSA response rate was defined as a 30% reduction in the PSA level from baseline. PSA Working Group consensus criteria combined with radiographic studies were used to determine the proportion of patients with PSA decline.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Progression-free Survival

    Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  2. Overall Survival

    Overall survival was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Bicalutamide and Everolimus in people with Prostate Cancer, run by University of California, Davis at 1 site 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 11 inclusion and 19 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 10 Jan 2018. 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 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 1 Jun 2017). 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?

PSA Response Rate (time frame: Up to 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00814788, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 10 Jan 2018.
