About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Toxicity of Cabazitaxel in Men 75 Years of Age or Older With Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer With Progression After Treatment With Docetaxel

Cabazitaxel is already approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in patients with advanced prostrate cancer, following docetaxel therapy. The purpose of this study is to better understand the response and toxicity of cabazitaxel of elderly men (age 75 years and older) with advanced prostate cancer who have progressed during or after treatment with docetaxel. All patients on this study will receive cabazitaxel by intravenous (through a vein) infusion plus prednisone by mouth twice daily, and following the chemotherapy infusions, an injection of a granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). G-CSF will help the body produce more white blood cells, which should help decrease the risk of getting an infection while being treated with cabazitaxel.

Read the detailed description

This is a single arm, open label, phase II trial of cabazitaxel every 3 weeks in patients who are ≥ 75 years of age with castration-resistant, metastatic prostate cancer who have progressed during or after docetaxel.

Primary objective:

-The primary objective is to determine the efficacy of cabazitaxel in men 75 years of age or older with castration-resistant, metastatic prostate cancer who have progressed during of following treatment with docetaxel.

Secondary objectives:

  • To characterize the safety and tolerability of cabazitaxel in patients ≥ 75 years of age
  • To determine the PSA response
  • To determine the effect of cabazitaxel on functional status using geriatric assessments

Exploratory objectives:

  • Determine the effect of therapy with cabazitaxel on the number of circulating tumor cells (CTC)
  • To measure the effects of cabazitaxel on apoptosis in CTCs from patients ≥ 75 years of age using H2AX and M30 as biomarkers.
  • To determine the relationship between geriatric-focused assessment of comorbidity and functional ability and toxicity and response.

Patients will receive cabazitaxel 25 mg/m2 every 3 weeks with 10 mg prednisone daily until progression, intolerance of therapy, or withdrawal of consent. Patients will receive granulocyte colony stimulating factor (Neulasta 6 mg sc) with each cycle, starting with the first cycle, to minimize the risk of complications from neutropenia. Patients will be followed for 28 days after discontinuation of therapy or death, whichever occurs first. Patients with serious adverse events at the time of removal from the trial will be followed until the toxicities resolve or are deemed irreversible by the treating physician.

CabazitaxelExperimentalCabazitaxel 25 mg/m2 will be administered by intravenous infusion over 1 hour on Day 1 of every 21-day cycle. Treatment will continue until disease progression, intolerable side effects, or a maximum of 10 cycles of therapy.
Receives: Drug: Cabazitaxel; Drug: Prednisone; Drug: Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patients progression-free survival after completion of treatment.

    Treatment will continue until disease progression, intolerable side effects, or a maximum of 10 cycles of therapy. Progression-free survival defined as PSA progression, tumor progression in patients with measurable disease, or death.

    Measured: at end of treatment (up to 30 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Number of patients that experience treatment-emergent adverse events

    The assessment of safety will be based on the frequency and severity of adverse events. The incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events will be summarized by organ system, severity based on CTCAE (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events) version 4.02, and relation to study drug by dose cohort. Adverse events assessed after each treatment cycle.

    Measured: at end of each treatment cycle (up to 30 weeks)

  2. Number of patients with a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response

    PSA response defined as a 50% or more reduction in serum PSA concentration in patients with a serum PSA concentration of 20 μg/L or more at baseline and confirmed with a repeat PSA measurement after at least 3 weeks.

    Measured: at end of each treatment cycle (up to 30 weeks)

  3. Change in geriatric assessments from baseline to end of therapy

    Geriatric assessment to determine the relationship between functional ability or comorbidity and treatment response or toxicity. Patients will be have a geriatric assessment which will included a range of assessments, such as the Mini Mental Status Exam, Get Up and Go test, and the Geriatric Depression Scale, at baseline and after every 2 cycles of therapy.

    Measured: every 2 cycles of therapy (6 weeks) up to 30 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Cabazitaxel, Prednisone and Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) in people with Castrate-resistant Metastatic Prostate Cancer, run by Case Comprehensive Cancer Center.

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 27 inclusion and 11 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Oct 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Number of patients progression-free survival after completion of treatment. (time frame: at end of treatment (up to 30 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 16 Oct 2013.
