About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of Perifosine (IND 58,156; NSC# 639966) in Biochemically Recurrent, Hormone Sensitive Prostate Cancer

Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of perifosine in treating patients who have recurrent prostate cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy such as perifosine use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess the PSA response in prostate cancer patients with only biochemical recurrence after local curative therapy who are then treated with perifosine.

II. To assess the secondary endpoints of a) six-month increase in PSA levels compared to baseline, b) PSA doubling time and c) time to PSA progression in prostate cancer patients receiving perifosine.

III. To evaluate the qualitative and quantitative toxicities of this agent in this patient population.

IV. To investigate potential molecular markers predictive of decreased PSADT and possibly PSA response in prostate cancer patients receiving perifosine.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to prior therapy (surgery vs radiotherapy with or without brachytherapy vs surgery and radiotherapy) and original combined Gleason score (7 or less vs 8-10).

Patients receive oral perifosine once daily on days 1-28. On day 1 of course 1 only, patients receive 2 doses of oral perifosine. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with progressive disease by PSA alone may receive up to 3 additional courses of therapy after documentation of progression.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. PSA Response

    A PSA normalization (PSA-N) - was recorded on case report forms for any evaluation in which the PSA level was undetectable (< 0.1 ng/mL). If the PSA-N response was confirmed by a second measurement ≥ 4 weeks later, the patient's best PSA response was considered PSA-N. PSA-PR was recorded if the PSA decreased by ≥ 50% from baseline (pretreatment) values and confirmed by a second measurement ≥ 4 weeks later. PSA-PD was recorded upon the appearance of ≥ 1 new lesion on radiographs consistent with metastatic disease, an absolute increase in PSA value of 5 ng/mL relative to the lowest postenrollment PSA value (including the baseline PSA value), or if the PSA doubling time was < 2 months. PSA-SD constituted responses that did not qualify for PSA-N, PSA-PR, or PSA-PD. Response = PSA-N + PSA-PR.

    Measured: Up to 6 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Time to Progression

    Estimated using the product-limit method of Kaplan and Meier. Progression was defined as the appearance of ≥ 1 new lesion on radiographs consistent with metastatic disease, an absolute increase in PSA value of 5 ng/mL relative to the lowest postenrollment PSA value (including the baseline PSA value), or if the PSA doubling time was < 2 months.

    Measured: From the date of registration to the date of documented PSA progression, assessed up to 6 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing perifosine and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate and Recurrent Prostate Cancer, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) 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 17 inclusion and 8 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Feb 2015. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 Feb 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

PSA Response (time frame: Up to 6 years). 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 23 Feb 2015.
