What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Time to Disease Progression

    Overall time to disease progression in subjects with asymptomatic metastatic hormone-refractory prostate cancer treated with sipuleucel-T (APC8015) compared to overall time to disease progression in subjects treated with placebo.

    Measured: from randomization to 36 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Overall Survival

    Subjects were followed for 3 years from the time of randomization or until death.

    Measured: Time from randomization until 36 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing sipuleucel-T in people with Hormone-Refractory Prostate Cancer, run by Dendreon.

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 7 inclusion and 3 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 Sep 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 2 Sep 2010). 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?

Overall Time to Disease Progression (time frame: from randomization to 36 months). 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 NCT01133704, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 Sep 2010.
