About this study

Official title: Multicenter Safety, Feasibility and Pharmacokinetic Phase I Trial of ModraDoc006/r in Patients With Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer

This is a safety, feasibility and pharmacokinetic study to confirm that the recommended safe dose and schedule of ModraDoc006/r (oral docetaxel with ritonavir) as determined in a previous phase I study is also safe and feasible in the target population of patients with CRPC.

Read the detailed description

This is a safety, feasibility and pharmacokinetic phase II study to evaluate treatment with ModraDoc006/r (oral docetaxel with ritonavir) in chemotherapy naïve patients with castration-resistant metastatic prostate cancer for whom treatment with intravenous docetaxel is indicated. The primary objective of this study is to determine the recommended dose determined as the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of docetaxel (as ModraDoc006 10 mg tablets) that can safely be administered in combination with ritonavir to patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer in a bi-daily weekly schedule without interruption and results in an adequate systemic exposure to docetaxel. On a predefined day of the first and every subsequent week, the patient will receive oral docetaxel (as ModraDoc006 10 mg tablets). This regime will be continued weekly (intake around the same time) until completion of the study, progressive disease or until adverse events, which require dose modification or discontinuation of therapy, are observed.

A dose escalation design will be used to determine the recommended dose of ModraDoc006 in combination with ritonavir that is safe and feasible and provides an adequate systemic docetaxel exposure in the target population of the projected pivotal study in patients with CRPC. Three castration-resistant metastatic prostate cancer (CRPC) patients will be assigned to the starting dose level 1A of 30-20 mg ModraDoc006 in a bi-daily weekly schedule, each intake of ModraDoc006 will be combined with 200 mg ritonavir. If no more than one DLT has occurred during the first four weeks of treatment on dose level 1A (30-20 mg ModraDoc006 and bi-daily ritonavir 200 mg) and the pharmacokinetic results are favorable, than three additional patients will be added to this dose level. If no more than 1 DLT in these first 6 patients has occurred, this will be the recommended dose and this dose level will be expanded until a total of 20 for toxicity evaluable patients have been treated on this dose level.

If 2 DLTs have occurred directly in the first 3 patients or in the first 6 patients (after the previous described addition of 3 patients), during the first four weeks of treatment on dose level 1A (30-20 mg ModraDoc006 and bi-daily 200 mg ritonavir) and the pharmacokinetic results are favorable, the dose may be de-escalated to the next lower dose-level, depending on the pharmacokinetic results and the study schedule will start again from the beginning.

If no more than one DLT has occurred in the first 6 patients during the first four weeks of treatment on dose level 1A and the pharmacokinetic results are not favorable, than the dose will be escalated depending on the pharmacokinetic results and the study schedule will start again from the beginning.

If two or more DLTs have occurred in the first 6 patients during the first four weeks of treatment on dose level 1A and the pharmacokinetic results are not favorable, the dose will be altered according to the type of DLT.

    Measured: Safety and tolerance will be evaluated during the complete study treatment until 28 days after the last intake, using the CTCAEv4.03 grading system]

  4. The preliminary anti-tumor activity of the oral docetaxel formulation

    PSA response, radiological response of visceral and nodal lesions according to RECIST 1.1, progression of bone lesions according to Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 criteria

  5. The dose limiting toxicities (DLT) of ModraDoc006/r treatment

Model description
Three patients will start at the starting dose level. If none of these patients experiences a DLT, another three patients will be added at the same dose level. The dose will be escalated or de-escalated based on safety and pharmacokinetic parameters. The recommended dose level, defined as the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of docetaxel (as ModraDoc006 10 mg tablets) that can safely be administered in combination with ritonavir to patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer in a bi-daily weekly schedule without interruption and results in an adequate systemic exposure to docetaxel, will be expanded to at least 20 for toxicity evaluable patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ModraDoc006/r in people with Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer, run by Modra Pharmaceuticals at 4 sites in Netherlands.

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 12 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Oct 2021. 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 Netherlands. 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 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.

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?

The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ModraDoc006/r treatment (time frame: Safety and tolerance will be evaluated using the CTCAEv4.03 grading system, dose limiting toxicities will be evaluated during the first 4 weeks of treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03136640, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 19 Oct 2021.
