Who may be able to join

  • Patients must have histologically confirmed diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the prostate.
  • On androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer (either bilateral orchiectomy or medical castration with the testosterone level of <50 ng/dl)

  • Uncontrolled inter-current illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
Show all 9Show fewer
  • A history of a positive HIV test in the past.
  • Patients with GI tract disease resulting in an inability to take oral medication, malabsorption syndrome, a requirement for IV alimentation, prior surgical procedures affecting absorption, uncontrolled inflammatory GI disease (e.g., Crohn's, ulcerative colitis).

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Oral Once Daily GW572016 (Lapatinib) In Patients With Hormone Refractory Prostate Cancer

RATIONALE: Lapatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well lapatinib works in treating patients with prostate cancer that did not respond to hormone therapy.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the proportion of patients with hormone-refractory prostate cancer who experience > 50% decline in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) after treatment with lapatinib ditosylate.

Secondary

  • Determine the safety of this drug in these patients.
  • Determine the time to PSA progression in patients treated with this drug.
  • Determine the molecular correlates and predictive biomarkers of response in patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, open-label study.

Patients receive oral lapatinib ditosylate once daily. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Serum samples are collected for biomarker analysis at baseline and every 4 weeks.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 4 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Patients Experiencing Decline in Prostate-specific Antigen

    Determine the number of patients with hormone-refractory prostate cancer who experience > 50% decline in PSA from baseline for 2 successive measurements at least 4 weeks apart after treatment with lapatinib ditosylate.

    Measured: 4 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Time to Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Progression

    Measured from start date of treatment to date of PSA progression, defined as a 25% increase above the pretreatment value or the nadir PSA (whichever is lower) and a minimum increase of 5 ng/ml, confirmed 2 or more weeks later.

    Measured: 4 years

  2. Predictive Molecular Markers of Response to Treatment With Lapatinib (GW572016)

    To assess the correlation between expression of molecular markers and patient response to treatment with GW572016

    Measured: 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing lapatinib ditosylate in people with Prostate Cancer, run by UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center at 3 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?

The sponsor lists 15 inclusion and 9 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 28 Jun 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 28 Jun 2017). 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?

Number of Patients Experiencing Decline in Prostate-specific Antigen (time frame: 4 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 28 Jun 2017.
