Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • Men only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Provide written informed consent prior to Screening.
  • Age ≥ 18 years.
  • Histological or cytological diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the prostate.
  • Metastatic disease for which no curative therapy exists and for which systemic chemotherapy is indicated.
  • Progression of disease despite either medical or surgical castration. If the patient received medical androgen ablation, a castrate level of testosterone (> or = 50 ng/dL) must have been present concurrent with disease progression. Progressive disease is defined as any one of the following:
  • Rising serum PSA levels: two consecutive increases in PSA levels documented over a previous reference value obtained at least one week apart with the value of the third point being ≥ 2 ng/mL. If the third PSA level is less than the second, an additional fourth test to confirm a rising PSA (i.e., the fourth value is ≥ the second value and is ≥ 2 ng/mL) is acceptable.

  • Progressive measurable disease defined as an increase in the sum of the diameters of measurable lesions over the smallest sum observed or the appearance of one or more new lesions as assessed by CT scan.
  • Bone progressions: appearance of 2 or more new lesions on bone scan or other imaging.
  • If patient did not have a surgical orchiectomy:
  • The patient must be on androgen suppression treatment (e.g. LHRH agonist), have a castrate level of testosterone (< or = 50 ng/dL), and must be willing to continue the treatment throughout the study.
  • The patient must have discontinued treatment with anti-androgens (discontinued ≥ 4 weeks for flutamide and ≥ 6 weeks for nilutamide or bicalutamide prior to Screening) and have documented disease progression following discontinuation.
  • PSA > or = 2 ng/mL during the Screening period.
  • Performance status of 0 or 1 on the ECOG Performance Status Scale.
  • Have an estimated life expectancy of at least 12 weeks.
  • Adequate organ function within 14 days prior to first study dose (ISIS EIF4E Rx or docetaxel, whichever occurs first) including the following:
  • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > or = 1.5 x 109/L.
  • Platelet count > or = 100 x 109/L.

  • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) < or = 1.5 x ULN.
  • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) < or = 1.5 x ULN.
  • Serum creatinine < or = 1.5 x ULN.
  • Prothrombin time (PT) and international normalized ratio (INR) within normal limits.
  • Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) within normal limits.
  • Part 1: Have had no more than 1 prior chemotherapy or biological therapy regimen (approved or experimental; all previous hormonal therapies are allowed and not counted as biological therapy for this inclusion criterion) for prostate cancer. This does not include treatments that may have been received in the adjuvant or neoadjuvant setting. A regimen is defined as two or more consecutive cycles of treatment. Part 2: Have had no prior chemotherapy or biological therapy (approved or experimental; all previous hormonal therapies are allowed and not counted as biological therapy for this inclusion criterion) in any setting for prostate cancer.
  • Have discontinued all previous therapies for cancer (except treatment with LHRH analogues) as follows:
  • Part 1: cytotoxic chemotherapy must be discontinued at least 4 weeks prior to screening; Part 2: see Inclusion Criteria 11.
  • Part 1: biological treatment (other than hormonal treatments) must be discontinued for at least 6 weeks prior to screening; Part 2: see Inclusion Criteria 11.
  • Hormone therapies (e.g., abiraterone, MDV3100) must have been discontinued 4 weeks prior to screening.
  • Radiotherapy must be discontinued at least 4 weeks prior to screening, and the patient must have recovered from the acute effects of therapy.
  • Recovery from all toxicities of prior therapy to ≤ Grade 2 by NCI CTCAE, version 4.0 (Exception: any toxicity that in the view of the Investigator is not a clinically significant safety risk for further therapy administration, including, but not limited to: anemia, fatigue, erectile dysfunction, hot flashes, lymphedema of an extremity, dizziness, cough, and urinary incontinence).
  • Men of reproductive potential must agree to use an effective form of contraception, as determined by the Investigator, during the treatment period of the study and for 10 weeks following the last dose of study drug.
  • The patient is willing and able to comply with the study visit schedule and procedures, and geographic proximity (Investigator's discretion) that allows adequate follow-up.

Who cannot join

  • Treatment with another investigational drug or device within 4 weeks or biological agent within 6 weeks before Screening or 5 half-lives of study agent, whichever is longer.

  • Patients with treated or untreated parenchymal brain metastases or leptomeningeal disease. Currently active malignant epidural disease is also excluded. Previously treated epidural disease does not exclude the patient from the study. (Note: CT or MRI of brain is not needed to rule these out unless the patient has clinical symptoms suggestive of CNS metastases).
  • Have active infection or serious concomitant systemic disorder (for example, heart failure) incompatible with the study (at the discretion of the Investigator).
  • Presence or history of other malignancies except non-melanoma skin cancer or solid tumors curatively treated at least 5 years previously with no subsequent evidence of recurrence.

  • Planned concomitant participation in another clinical trial of an experimental agent, vaccine, or device.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing ISIS EIF4E Rx, Prednisone and Docetaxel in people with Castrate-Resistant Prostate Cancer, run by Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 38 sites in 6 countries.

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 32 inclusion and 17 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 6 Oct 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 38 sites in United States, Romania, Russia, Poland, Hungary and 1 more country. 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 combined 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.

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?

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?

Progression free survival (time frame: At the end of each 21 day cycle). 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 6 Oct 2023.
