What is being measured

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

  1. Time to progression

    Assess time to progression (time to progression) of metastatic disease (from first day of treatment in the trial). Progression was defined as an increase (of) injury (s) tumor (s) (RECIST) or an increase in PSA levels (≥ 25% and ≥ 2ng/ml increase) or the appearance of new lesions metastatic (at least 2 new lesions for bone lesions).

    From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause

    Measured: participants will be followed post treatment. From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. PSA response

    Evaluate the PSA response (50% decrease compared to the initial value)

    Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented PSA progression or date of death from any cause

  2. objective tumor response rate

    Evaluate the objective tumor response rate (CR + PR) by RECIST.

    Measured: participants will be evaluated at the end of the treatment (randomization + an expected average of 4 months)

  3. safety and tolerability

    Assess the safety (adverse events) of the combination Taxotere/ curcumin.

    Measured: patients will be followed for the duration of the treatment, an expected average of 4 months

  4. Pain

    Assess pain in the short questionnaire on pain (QCD)

    Measured: participants will be followed at Cycle1,3,6 of chemotherapy and post treatment (+1months after the end of the treatment)

  5. neuroendocrine markers

    Assess serum neuroendocrine markers

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of the treatment, an expected average of 4 months

  6. Overall survival

    Evaluate overall survival (between inclusion and death whatever the cause)

    Measured: from date of randomization until the date of death from any cause

  7. anti-angiogenic activity

    Evaluate the anti-angiogenic activity of the association Taxotere ® plus curcumin

    Measured: participants will be followed at each Cycle of chemotherapy ( + inclusion) , an expected average of 4 months

  8. compliance

    Assess the compliance by curcumin treatment / placebo orally

    Measured: patients will be followed for the duration of the treatment, an expected average of 4 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Curcumin and Taxotere in people with Prostate Cancer Metastatic Castration Resistant, run by Centre Jean Perrin at 4 sites in France.

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 8 inclusion and 15 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 24 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 4 sites in France. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 stopped early (reason given: The trial was stopped for futility in view of the results of the interim analysis). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Time to progression (time frame: participants will be followed post treatment. From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause). 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 24 Jul 2018.
