Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Any age
  • Men only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients with histologic proof of adenocarcinoma of the prostate and must have progressed on conventional hormonal therapy.
  • Patients must have bone metastases which can be demonstrated by bone scans. Lytic bone lesions should be considered for biopsy if there is a clinical suspicion of histologic conversion to small cell carcinoma.
  • Patients must have evidence of progression of disease. PSA- progression is defined as 2 consecutive increments in PSA (an absolute change of at least 1ng/mL) over 4 weeks. An increase by 25% of the product of bidimensional disease qualifies as progression. An increase in the number of metastatic lesions on bone scan qualifies as progression.
  • All patients must have a minimum PSA of 1ng/ml.
  • Patients on antiandrogens should be discontinued from flutamide or nilutamide for at least 4 weeks and bicalutamide for 8 weeks. If progression is documented as below prior to this time interval, patients are eligible.
  • Patients must have a performance status of < 2 (ECOG).

  • Patients must have an expected survival from cancer or co-morbidity of at least three months.
  • Patients may receive no concurrent chemotherapy, immunotherapy or ketoconazole.
  • Patients should not have received prior chemotherapy or radiation within the last 30 days and no Strontium or Samarium within the last 90 days.
  • Patients must have castrate serum testosterone levels (< 30ng/dl). For patients who are medically castrated, luteinizing hormone releasing hormone analog must continue to maintain testicular suppression.
  • Patients must have adequate bone marrow function defined as an absolute peripheral granulocyte count of > 1,500/mm3 and platelet count of > 100,000/mm3.
  • Patients should have adequate hepatic function defined with a bilirubin of < 1.5 mg/dl and AST/ALT < 2X the upper limits of normal.
  • Patients should have adequate renal function defined as serum creatinine clearance > 40 cc/min (measured or calculated by Cockcroft and Gault formula) or serum creatinine < 1.5 X upper limit of normal.
  • Fully recovered from any previous surgery (at least 4 weeks since major surgery.
  • Patients must sign an informed consent indicating that they are aware of the investigational nature of this study, in keeping with the policies of the institution. The only approved consent is attached to this protocol.

Who cannot join

  • Patients with severe intercurrent infection.
  • Patients whose tumors contain small cell or sarcomatoid elements.
  • Patients with NYHA Class III/IV CHF, unstable angina or MI in the last 6 months or evidence of active myocardial ischemia on ECG.
  • CNS metastases that are uncontrolled.
  • Prior hypersensitivity or dose-limiting toxicity with docetaxel.
  • Oxygen-dependent lung disease

  • Contraindications to corticosteroids.
  • Uncontrolled severe hypertension or uncontrolled diabetes mellitus.
  • Second malignancies (except non-melanoma skin cancer) unless disease-free for 3 years.
  • Overt psychosis or mental disability or otherwise incompetent to give informed consent.
  • Patients with a history of non-compliance with medical regimens or who are considered potentially unreliable.

About this study

The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest safe dose of docetaxel in combination with Gleevec (imatinib mesylate) that can be given to men with advanced androgen-independent metastatic prostate cancer that involves bone. Docetaxel is a commercial chemotherapy which interferes with the cancer cell ability to divide and grow.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  1. To define the maximum tolerated dose of weekly docetaxel in combination with fixed-dose oral STI571 in adult men with metastatic androgen-independent prostate cancer (AIPC).
  2. To determine the qualitative and quantitative toxicity of the combination of oral STI571 and docetaxel.
  3. Evaluate PSA modulation with STI571 alone at thirty days in patients with AIPC.
  4. Obtain a preliminary estimate of the response rate in AIPC to the combination of STI571 and docetaxel.
  5. Obtain tissue for correlative science studies (these are optional studies).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing imatinib mesylate and docetaxel in people with Prostate Cancer, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center at 1 site 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?

The sponsor lists 15 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 31 Oct 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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. 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.

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 31 Oct 2018.
