About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 / 2a Study of In-situ REIC/Dkk-3 Therapy in Patients With Localized Prostate Cancer (MTG-REIC-PC003)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of AD5-SGE-REIC/Dkk-3 in patients with localized prostate cancer.

Read the detailed description

This is a phase 1/2a clinical trial in subjects who are diagnosed with prostate cancer to evaluate the effectiveness of Ad5-SGE-REIC/Dkk-3 in the treatment of localized prostate cancer.

Subjects enrolled will be diagnosed with localized prostate cancer (clinical stage T1/T2) having a Gleason score of 6 to 7 (3+4 or 4+3). Subjects will receive up to four (4) transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided IT treatments with Ad5-SGE-REIC/Dkk-3 into the prostate approximately 6-weeks apart. Each treatment cycle will be performed using a minimum of three track injections through the prostrate using a total of 3 mL volume. Approximately 2 mL of the total volume will be injected into the most dense areas of cancer based on biopsy and MRI mapping (fusion biopsy) and 1 mL total volume will be injected into the opposite lobe of the prostate or other areas to ensure complete saturation of the prostate over multiple injections.

Subjects who, in the opinion of the investigator, are progressing at any time after the second injection of Ad5-SGE-REIC/Dkk-3 may be discontinued and will be treated according to standard medical practice.

What participants receive

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

  • Ad5-SGE-REIC/Dkk3Drug

    Ad5-SGE-REIC/Dkk-3, was designed to increase intracellular production REIC protein. The adenovirus vector is a transport mechanism to infuse the REIC protein into the cell providing a temporary transfusion of protein that induces apoptosis in target cancer cells, but does not appear to have a significant effect on normal tissues.

Study groups in NCT01931046
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Part 1ExperimentalTreatment at one of three dose levels of Ad5-SGE-REIC/Dkk-3 in a sequential dose-escalating design with 4 cycles of therapy at each dose level permitted.
Receives: Drug: Ad5-SGE-REIC/Dkk3
Part 2ExperimentalTreatment with Ad5-SGE-REIC/Dkk-3 every 6-weeks for up to 4 cycles of therapy and may continue therapy if they have stable disease or are responding.
Receives: Drug: Ad5-SGE-REIC/Dkk3

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum Tolerated Dose

    To define the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) or Maximum Feasible Dose (MFD) for intratumoral injection (IT) of Ad5-SGE-REIC/Dkk-3 viral vector.

    Measured: Up to 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Effectiveness of Ad5-SGE-REIC/Dkk-3

    To assess the effectiveness of Ad5-SGE-REIC/Dkk-3 in the treatment of prostate cancer as evaluated by biomarkers, transrectal ultrasound (TRUS), biopsy and MRI.

    Measured: Up to 78 weeks

  2. Rate and intensity of adverse reactions after treatment with Ad5-SGE-REIC/Dkk-3

    To assess the rate of adverse events and grade of adverse events after in-situ therapy with Ad5-SGE-REIC/Dkk-3 protein in prostate cancer subjects.

    Measured: Up to 54 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Ad5-SGE-REIC/Dkk3 in people with Localized Prostate Cancer, run by Momotaro-Gene Inc. at 3 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 11 inclusion and 9 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 4 Sep 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Maximum Tolerated Dose (time frame: Up to 24 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 4 Sep 2020.
