About this study

Official title: BrUOG-PROS-221 Neoadjuvant Weekly Ixabepilone for High Risk, Clinically Localized Prostate Cancer: A Phase II Study

Ixabepilone, 16 mg/m2 or 20mg/m2, weekly x 3, in 4 week cycles, x 4 cycles.

Prostatectomy 2-8 weeks after completion(standard of care and not a part of study)

Read the detailed description

Ixabepilone, 16 mg/m2 or 20mg/m2, weekly x 3, in 4 week cycles, x 4 cycles. Prostatectomy 2-8 weeks after completion of chemotherapy (this was standard of care).

This protocol evaluated weekly ixabepilone prior to robotic prostatectomy for patients with high risk localized prostate cancer. PSA response rate, tumor margin status and pathologic responses were assessed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ixabepilone and Prostatectomy in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Brown University 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 22 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 8 Mar 2022. 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 Nov 2013). 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) Response (time frame: after 12 weeks of ixabepilone). 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 8 Mar 2022.
