What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • TesetaxelDrug

    Also called DJ-927

    Tesetaxel capsules will be administered orally once every 21 days until progression, as defined by Prostate Cancer Working Group 2 (PCWG2) criteria. The duration of protocol therapy will not exceed 12 months. Treatment will be initiated at a dose of 27 mg/m2; dose escalation to a maximum of 35 mg/m2 is allowed in Cycle 2 depending on tolerability.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free survival

    Measured: 6 months from the start of treatment

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Response rate (RECIST 1.1) among patients with measurable disease

    Measured: 6 months from the start of treatment

  2. Duration of response among patients with measurable disease

    Measured: 12 months from the start of treatment

  3. Durable response among patients with measurable disease

    Measured: 12 months from the start of treatment

  4. Overall survival

    Measured: 3 years following enrollment of the last subject

  5. Disease-control rate

    Measured: 6 months from the start of treatment

  6. PSA response rate

    Measured: Week 12

  7. Progression-free survival

    Measured: 12 months from the start of treatment

  8. No. (percentage) of subjects with adverse events

    Measured: Through 30 days after the last dose of tesetaxel

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Tesetaxel in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Genta Incorporated at 4 sites 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 8 inclusion and 13 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jul 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progression-free survival (time frame: 6 months from the start of treatment). 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 24 Jul 2012.
