About this study

Official title: Phase II Open Label, Multi-Center Clinical Trial Of Modulation Of Intermediate Endpoint Biomarkers By 1x-Hydroxyvitamin D2 In Patients With Clinically Localized Prostate Cancer And High Grade PIN

RATIONALE: Doxercalciferol may be an effective way to treat localized prostate cancer before surgery.

PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to study the effectiveness of giving doxercalciferol before surgery in treating patients who have localized prostate cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine whether doxercalciferol modulates intermediate endpoint biomarkers in the development of prostate cancer in patients with localized prostate cancer.
  • Assess the toxicity of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, open-label, multicenter study. Patients are randomized to one of 2 arms.

  • Arm I: Patients receive doxercalciferol once daily for 28 days. Patients then undergo prostatectomy.
  • Arm II: Patients undergo observation for 28 days. Patients then undergo prostatectomy.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 60 patients (30 per arm) will be accrued for this study within 18 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing doxercalciferol and conventional surgery in people with Prostate Cancer, run by University of Wisconsin, Madison at 6 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?

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 13 Dec 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 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. 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 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?

Intermediate endpoint biomarker modulation (time frame: 18 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 13 Dec 2019.
