About this study

Official title: Open Label Phase II Study of MEN-10755 Administered Every 3 Weeks in Patients With Progressive Hormone Refractory Prostate Cancer

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of MEN-10755 in treating patients who have progressive prostate cancer that has not responded to hormone therapy.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Assess the activity of MEN-10755 in patients with progressive hormone-refractory adenocarcinoma of the prostate.
  • Determine the rate and duration of objective PSA response in patients treated with this drug.
  • Determine the clinical response rate in patients with measurable disease treated with this drug.
  • Determine the acute side effects of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Beginning within 2 weeks after the last PSA measurement, patients receive MEN-10755 IV over 30 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for at least 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who achieve a complete or partial response continue to receive additional courses. Patients who achieve stable disease may receive more than 4 courses at the discretion of the investigator.

Patients are followed every 6 weeks until disease progression or initiation of a new therapy.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 18-32 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing sabarubicin in people with Prostate Cancer, run by European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer - EORTC at 10 sites in 6 countries.

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 24 Jul 2012. 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, Belgium, Germany, Israel, Spain and 1 more country. 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?

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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00027781, 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 24 Jul 2012.
