About this study

Official title: An Observational Study of XL-184 Cabozantinib and Androgen Ablation in Patients With Androgen-Dependent Metastatic Prostate Cancer

The goal of this clinical research study is learn if adding cabozantinib (also known as XL184) to hormonal therapy can help to control prostate cancer. The safety of this drug will also be studied.

Cabozantinib is designed to block certain proteins in your blood that cause cancer cells to grow. This may cause cancer cells to die.

Read the detailed description

Study Drug Administration:

If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study, you will take 1 capsule of cabozantinib by mouth 1 time every day while you are on study. You should not eat or drink anything other than water for 2 hours before and 1 hour after taking the study drug. You should take the capsule with at least 1 cup (8 ounces) of water. You will also be given separate directions about how to take the study drug.

You will also receive hormone therapy. The hormone drug you receive will be standard of care hormone therapy. The study doctor will decide what hormone therapy you will receive and will explain when and how you should take the hormone therapy, as well as its risks.

You will be given a drug diary where you will record when you take cabozantinib. You should return this diary to the study staff when you come into the clinic.

Study Visits:

At every visit, you will be asked about any side effects you may have had and any other drugs you may be taking.

If you are receiving Coumadin, every week for the first 3 weeks, you will have blood drawn (about 1 teaspoon) to test your blood clotting function.

Every 3 weeks for the first 12 weeks of the study, and then every 6 weeks after that:

  • You will have a physical exam.
  • Blood (about 3-4 teaspoons) will be drawn for routine tests.

Every 3 weeks for the first 12 weeks of the study, and then every 12 weeks after that, blood (about 1 teaspoon) will be drawn to check your thyroid and pancreatic function. The frequency of the testing may change if the study doctor thinks it is needed.

Every 6 weeks, you will have the following tests performed:

  • Blood (about 2-3 teaspoons) will be drawn to measure your PSA levels and for biomarker testing.
  • Urine will be collected for routine tests.
  • You may have these test performed near your home if the study doctor thinks you are tolerating the treatment.

Every 12 weeks, you will have a bone scan and CT scans of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis to check the status of the disease.

Length of Study:

You may continue receiving the study drug for as long as the study doctor thinks it is in your best interest. You will be taken off study early if the disease gets worse, if you have intolerable side effects, or if your study doctor thinks it is in your best interest to stop.

Long-Term Follow-Up:

You will be contacted every 6 months after you stop taking the study drug to check on how you are feeling and the status of the disease. This will consist of a phone call, e-mail, or medical record review. If you are called, each call should last about 5 minutes.

This is an investigational study. Cabozantinib is FDA approved to treat patients with certain types of thyroid cancer. Its use in this study is investigational.

Up to 60 participants will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Cabozantinib + Androgen Ablation TherapyExperimentalPatients receive Cabozantinib at starting dose of 60 mg by mouth every day. Study cycles 3 weeks in duration.

Patients receive androgen ablation therapy, either by means of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone super-agonist (of any formulation), LHRH antagonist, or surgical castration. Study doctor will decide what hormone therapy patient will receive.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression Free Survival

    Progression defined by any of the following: (a) radiographic progression (using RECIST 1.1 for visceral disease and PCWG2 for Bone Scans), (b) receive additional anti-cancer therapy, or (c) clinical progression resulting in stopping the treatment.

    Measured: 31.2 months

  2. Serious Adverse Events and Other (Not Including Serious) Adverse Events

    Number of instances of Serious Adverse Events and Other (Not Including Serious) Adverse Events. Adverse events were monitored for 30 days beyond the last day of treatment. These adverse events are documented. The adverse events are reported as Serious Adverse Events and Adverse Events. Serious Adverse Events are defined as adverse events in which the participant dies, is hospitalized, is disabled, or is exposed to the medicine while pregnant resulting in and birth defect. Adverse events evaluated for all treated participants using the NCI CTCAE version 4.3.

    Measured: Start of treatment up to 30 days after study drug, up to 80 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Cabozantinib and Androgen Ablation Therapy in people with Prostate Cancer, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center 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 11 inclusion and 12 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 25 Mar 2022. 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 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 25 Mar 2022). 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?

Progression Free Survival (time frame: 31.2 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 25 Mar 2022.
