About this study

Official title: First Line Treatment of Metastatic Hormone Refractory Prostate Cancer With a Combination of Novantrone-Navelbine

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy in treating patients who have metastatic prostate cancer that has not responded to hormone therapy.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the efficacy of the combination of mitoxantrone and vinorelbine in terms of response rate, progression free survival, overall survival, and quality of life in patients with metastatic hormone refractory adenocarcinoma of the prostate.
  • Determine the toxicities of this treatment regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive vinorelbine IV on days 1 and 8 and mitoxantrone IV on day 8. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for up to 9 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Quality of life is assessed prior to treatment, prior to each course, and then at 2 months after study completion.

Patients are followed every 3 months until disease progression.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 14-39 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing mitoxantrone hydrochloride and vinorelbine tartrate in people with Prostate Cancer, run by GERCOR - Multidisciplinary Oncology Cooperative Group at 10 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?

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 1 Mar 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 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. 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?

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.

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 1 Mar 2011.
