About this study

Official title: Phase Ib/IIa Study of Cabazitaxel Plus Bavituximab for Patients With Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer Previously Treated With Chemotherapy

This is a Phase Ib/IIa Study of Cabazitaxel plus Bavituximab in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). The current study is designed to determine if the addition of bavituximab to cabazitaxel will improve progression free survival (PFS) or overall survival (OS). In addition, the Lead Researcher is requiring the collection of urine, and blood specimens for future research.

This study will enroll patients with CRPC, who have been previously treated with docetaxel or a docetaxel-containing regimen. Patients may be intolerant of, or resistant to, docetaxel, or may have been previously treated with the agent without definite disease progression during therapy.

Patients must meet the study eligibility criteria and must be competent to give informed consent.

Read the detailed description

Cabazitaxel will be administered IV on day 1 of each 21-day treatment cycle. Bavituximab (3 mg/kg) will be administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion on a weekly basis (Cycle 1 Day 2, all other cycles Day 1; day 8, day 15). Patients will receive cabazitaxel (day 1) plus bavituximab weekly of each 21-day cycle for up to 8 cycles.

Up to 31 patients will be enrolled to ensure 28 evaluable subjects. The accrual period is expected to be between 12 to 18 months (1-1.5 years).

Subjects will remain on the treatment phase of the study until any of the following events occur:

  • Disease progression as evidenced by an increase in the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level, worsening of pain, or disease progression by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)
  • Completion of 8 cycles of cabazitaxel-bavituximab therapy (day 169)
  • Development of toxicity that, in the investigator's judgment, precludes further study participation
  • Significant protocol violations or noncompliance on the part of the patient or investigator
  • The investigator's judgment that discontinuation is in the patient's best interest
  • Initiation of alternative antineoplastic treatments.
  • Refusal of the patient to continue treatment or follow-up
  • Loss to follow-up

After completion of the treatment phase, subjects will remain on the followup phase of the study until any of the following events occur:

  • Refusal of the patient to continue treatment or follow-up
  • Loss to follow-up
  • Death
  • The investigator's judgment that discontinuation is in the patient's best interest

  • Cabazitaxel plus bavituximabDrug

    Also called JEVTANA® (cabazitaxel)

    Cabazitaxel (25 mg/m2) will be administered IV on Day 1 of each 21-day treatment cycle, and bavituximab (3 mg/kg) will be administered as an IV infusion on a weekly basis (Cycle 1 Day 2, all other cycles Day 1; day 8; day 15) for 8 cycles.

What is being measured

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

  1. Probability of Progression-free Survival at Day 85

    The primary objective of this study is to determine the probability of progression-free survival (PFS) after 12 weeks of therapy in subjects with CRPC treated with cabazitaxel + bavituximab.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Measurement of PSA Response Rate

    To estimate the PSA response rate from cabazitaxel + bavituximab therapy in CRPC patients previously treated with docetaxel. PSA response rate will be assessed at multiple time points during the 24 wks of study treatment.

    Measured: 24 weeks

  2. Objective Response Rate by RECIST for Patients With Measurable Disease

    To estimate the objective response rate from cabazitaxel + bavituximab therapy in CRPC patients previously treated with docetaxel. Objective response rate will be assessed at day 85, 169

    Measured: 24 weeks

  3. Overall Survival

    To estimate the overall survival in subjects with CRPC (previously treated with docetaxel) following cabazitaxel + bavituximab therapy. Overall survival will be assessed continually during the duration of the study.

    Measured: 24+ weeks

  4. Number of With Grade 3 or 4 Toxicities

    To document the toxicity of cabazitaxel + bavituximab therapy in CRPC patients previously treated with docetaxel. Toxicity will be assessed continually during the 24 wks of study therapy.

    Measured: 24 weeks

  5. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    Determination of progression-free survival in subjects treated with cabazitaxel + bavituximab for CRPC previously treated with docetaxel. PFS will be assessed continually during the entire study.

    Measured: 24+ weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Cabazitaxel plus bavituximab in people with Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Neoplasms, run by Medical University of South Carolina 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 14 inclusion and 14 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jul 2018. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 Jul 2018). 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?

Probability of Progression-free Survival at Day 85 (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 13 Jul 2018.
