What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pain (pain progression evaluated with the Present Pain Intensity scale form McGill-Melzack questionnaire)

    Measured: During the Study Conduct

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Analgesics (assessed by Pain Medication Log)

    Measured: During the study conduct

  2. PSA (PSA response and PSA progression

    Measured: During the study conduct

  3. Tumor lesion assessment,

    Measured: During the study conduct

  4. Overall survival

    Measured: During the study conduct

  5. Progression-free survival

    Measured: During the study conduct

  6. Treatment emergent adverse events recorded by the investigator where intensity was according to NCI-CTC criteria: Standard hematology, blood chemistry and clinical exams.

    Measured: from the inform consent signed up to the end of the study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing docetaxel in people with Prostatic Neoplasms, run by Sanofi.

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 16 inclusion and 6 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 7 Dec 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pain (pain progression evaluated with the Present Pain Intensity scale form McGill-Melzack questionnaire) (time frame: During the Study Conduct). 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 7 Dec 2009.
