About this study

Official title: Randomized Phase III Trial Comparing Cabazitaxel Combination Hormone Therapy to Hormone Therapy Alone in Metastatic Prostate Cancer or High Risk Disease

This clinical trial is designed on the basis of an unmet clinical need, as well as other factors including: 1) the ability to identify subjects at high risk of dying early from their disease, 2) the fact that hormonal therapy has already been shown to improve survival when applied early in the natural history, 3) the availability of chemotherapy such as cabazitaxel that can improve survival in subjects with advanced disease and 4) that chemotherapy (docetaxel) given concomitant with hormone treatment has proven to prolong time to progression.

It is the investigators hypothesis that a more appropriate group of patients who may benefit from the curative potential of systemic chemo-hormonal modality is that with minimal, but detectable disease who have a high probability of developing metastatic disease, clinical symptoms and eventually death from prostate cancer in a defined time frame. The investigators hypothesize further that the approach is likely to be more effective at a time of minimal tumour burden, resulting in minimization of the overall burden of therapy and better quality of life while on treatment.

This trial will determine whether any benefit is gained by adding chemotherapy before hormonal therapy to hormonal therapy alone in the population of subjects with metastatic or high risk disease.

The investigators hypothesize further that the approach is likely to be more effective at a time of minimal tumour burden, resulting in minimization of the overall burden of therapy and better quality of life while on treatment.

This trial will determine whether any benefit is gained by adding chemotherapy before hormonal therapy to hormonal therapy alone in the population of subjects with metastatic or high risk disease. Two therapeutic approaches will be compared in this two-arm randomized clinical trial. The control Arm A provides hormonal therapy alone. The experimental Arm B involves treatment with hormone therapy + Cabazitaxel 25 mg / m² / day on day 1 every 3 weeks continued if the patient has stable or responding disease up to 10 cycles. For the schematic representation of study design please see Section 7.3.1.

Subjects with primary metastatic or N+ or high risk disease (PSA>100) will be eligible. The primary endpoint of the trial is overall survival.

Based on the yearly number of prostate cancer patients who are diagnosed with metastatic or high risk disease, approximately 1200 men per year (if +15% improvement)are potential candidates for this approach in the Scandinavian countries .

Study groups in NCT01978873
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Arm A:Experimental* Cabazitaxel 25 mg / m² / day on day 1 every 3 weeks continued if the patient has stable disease or responding to up to 10 cycles. Cabazitaxel will be administered in combination with oral prednisone or prednisolone (Prednisolon 10mg 1x1) * Hormones will be initiated in conjunction with the last cycle of chemotherapy. Consists of the administration of a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist + antiandrogens for 30 days OR surgical castration OR complete androgen blockade (CAB) by LHRH agonist + antiandrogen device. G-CSF treatment according to ASCO guidelines is recommended.
Receives: Drug: Cabazitaxel + Androgen deprivation therapy
Arm B:Active comparator-Hormone: LHRH agonist antiandrogens for 30 days + OR surgical castration OR CAB complete androgen blockade by LHRH agonist + antiandrogen device.
Receives: Drug: Androgen deprivation therapy

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall survival

    Measured: From date of randomization until date of death from any cause, assessed up to 7 years.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Progression free survival

    Ct and bonescan at three and six months and then at progession. PSA assesments every three moths during the first year and then every six months until progression.

    Measured: From date of randomization until progression, assessed up to 3 years.

  2. PSA response

    Assements every three months during the first year. Then every six months until progression. Then after progression every 12 months.

    Measured: From date of randomization up to 7 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Cabazitaxel + Androgen deprivation therapy and Androgen deprivation therapy in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Örebro University, Sweden at 1 site in Sweden.

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 9 inclusion and 10 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 4 May 2016. 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 Sweden. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Overall survival (time frame: From date of randomization until date of death from any cause, assessed up to 7 years.). 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 May 2016.
