What is being measured

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

  1. Area Under the Curve of Testosterone Serum Concentration Between D1 and D85 (AUC1-85d).

    Area under the curve (AUC) calculated from serum testosterone concentration taken at intervals between the first administration (Day 1) of the study drug and Day 85 after dosing. From the curve describing serum testosterone concentration levels (ng/mL) over time, the AUC was calculated using numerical integration methods. This value was log-transformed to more closely meet the assumption of the statistical method.

    Measured: 1, 3, 5, 8, 15, 22, 29, 57, 85 days post-dose

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Area Under the Curve of Testosterone Serum Concentration Between D1 and D169 (AUC1-169d)

    Area under the curve calculated from serum testosterone concentration taken at intervals between the first administration (Day 1) of the study drug and Day 169 after dosing. From the curve describing serum testosterone concentration levels (ng/mL) over time, the AUC was calculated using numerical integration methods. This value was log-transformed to more closely meet the assumption of the statistical method.

    Measured: 1, 3, 5, 8, 15, 22, 29, 57, 85, 87, 113, 141 and 169 days post-dose

  2. Area Under the Curve of Testosterone Serum Concentration Between D85 and D169 (AUC85-169d)

    Area under the curve calculated from serum testosterone concentration taken at intervals between Day 85 and Day 169 after dosing. From the curve describing serum testosterone concentration levels (ng/mL) over time, the AUC was calculated using numerical integration methods. This value was log-transformed to more closely meet the assumption of the statistical method.

    Measured: 85, 87, 113, 141 and 169 days post-dose

  3. Maximum Concentration of Serum Testosterone [Cmax] - Raw Data

    Cmax was assessed as the maximum testosterone serum concentration between the first administration of the study drug and Day 169.

    Measured: 1, 3, 5, 8, 15, 22, 29, 57, 85, 87, 113, 141 and 169 days post-dose

  4. Maximum Concentration of Serum Testosterone [Cmax] - Log-transformed Data

    Cmax was assessed as the maximum testosterone serum concentration between the first administration of the study drug and Day 169.

    Measured: 1, 3, 5, 8, 15, 22, 29, 57, 85, 87, 113, 141 and 169 days post-dose

  5. Time to Castration [Tcast] - Testosterone Level Less Than or Equal to 0.5 ng/mL

    tcast is the number of days between day of first administration of the study drug and the day the testosterone level reaches the limit of castration defined as testosterone level less than or equal to 0.5 ng/mL for the first time. Analysis of tcast was based on the Kaplan-Meier estimator.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  6. Time to Castration [Tcast] - Testosterone Level Less Than 0.5 ng/mL

    tcast is the number of days between day of first administration of the study drug and the day the testosterone level reaches the limit of castration defined as testosterone level less than 0.5 ng/mL for the first time. Analysis of tcast was based on the Kaplan-Meier estimator.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Triptorelin Pamoate (Pamorelin® LA 11.25 mg) in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Ipsen at 22 sites in Germany.

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 4 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 Feb 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 22 sites in Germany. 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 26 May 2014). 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?

Area Under the Curve of Testosterone Serum Concentration Between D1 and D85 (AUC1-85d). (time frame: 1, 3, 5, 8, 15, 22, 29, 57, 85 days post-dose). 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 Feb 2019.
