Trial summary

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies such as ABX-EGF can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of ABX-EGF in treating patients who have prostate cancer that has not responded to hormone therapy. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Clinical Trial Evaluating The Safety And Efficacy Of ABX-EGF In Patients With Hormone Resistant Prostate Cancer With Elevated PSA Without Metastasis

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies such as ABX-EGF can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells.

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

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the clinical effect of monoclonal antibody ABX-EGF, determined by the PSA response, in patients with hormone-resistant prostate cancer with rising PSA values without metastasis.
  • Determine the pharmacokinetics and safety profile (including immunogenicity) of this drug in these patients.
  • Determine the overall survival of patients treated with this drug.
  • Determine the time to disease progression and time to PSA progression in patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive monoclonal antibody ABX-EGF IV over 1 hour once weekly. Treatment continues every 8 weeks for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 30-50 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing panitumumab in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center at 2 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 3 Aug 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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. 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?
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 3 Aug 2020.
