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
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Documented prostate cancer regardless of Gleason score
  • Patients should be considered hormone refractory and androgen independent. They must fail LHRH analogues, and anti-androgen withdrawal trial.
  • Failure is confirmed by an increase in PSA value of 10% or more than the value immediately before, and confirmed by another assessment 2 weeks later.
  • Patients have to have measurable disease either biochemically using rising PSA or/and with metastatic disease to the bone or visceral organs.
  • Performance status of 2 or less using ECOG scale.· Adequate liver function tests with ALT/AST being < 3x normal, total bilirubin of 1.5 or less, and adequate renal function measured by a creatinine of 2.0 mg/dl or less. Alkaline phosphatase values are never exclusion criteria if it is deemed related to bone metastases.
  • Patients need to have adequate bone marrow function. ANC of 1000 or above, Hgb of 9.0 g/dl or above, and platelets of 100,000 or above. If other causes are affecting plts counts such as autoimmune disorders, patients are allowed on study.

  • Patients with inadequate bone marrow function that is deemed related to bone marrow involvement with prostate cancer are allowed at the investigator's discretion.
  • Patients with other malignancies are allowed as long as there is no evidence of the other malignancy present at entry time, and it has been 3 years or more since the treatment for the other disorder was completed.
  • Patients with prior exposure to investigational therapies including vaccines are allowed on this study as long as their last exposure was 4 weeks prior to study entry.Patients with known bone metastases are allowed to receive intravenous bisphosphonates such as aredia or zometa.
  • Patients on oral bisphosphonates are also allowed.
  • Chemo Naive

Who cannot join

  • Patients with prior exposure to Tarceva
  • Patients who have received any prior systemic chemotherapy for prostate cancer. Exposure to chemotherapy for other malignancies is allowed as long as last chemotherapy was completed 3 years prior to study entry.
  • Patients with prior malignancies are excluded except for those who have non-melanoma skin cancers or other cancers that are in remission with the last therapy given 3 years prior to enrollment.
  • Prior exposure to any form of steroids is allowed and is not considered exclusion criteria.
  • Performance status of 3 or above using ECOG scale.
  • Known HIV positive status Known CNS involvement with prostate cancer

About this study

Official title: Phase II Study Investigating the Efficacy and Activity of Single Agent Erlotinib in Chemotherapy-Naive Androgen Independent Prostate Cancer

Objectives to evaluate the activity of Erlotinib in prostate cancer patients who are hormone refractory and androgen independent and have not been exposed to chemotherapy.

Read the detailed description

This is a phase II open label single center study that evaluates the activity, efficacy, and toxicity of single agent Tarceva in chemotherapy-naive AIPC patients. Patients will receive single agent Tarceva at 150 mg daily without interruption until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or investigator's discretion. Eligible patients are those with documented prostate cancer (regardless of Gleason Score) who are considered hormone refractory as defined below. All patients must fail an anti-androgen withdrawal trial if they were already on such therapy. If patients were on LHRH analogues alone, they must fail the addition of an anti-androgen before being classified as hormone refractory. All patients must have adequate organ functions as specified below and have an ECOG performance status of 2 or less. It is hypothesized that 25 patients will be needed to adequately assess the activity of Tarceva in AIPC.

The activity of Tarceva in other malignancies has been demonstrated with dosed ranging from 100 to 150 mg daily. It is acceptable not to interrupt therapy unless toxicity occurs of disease progression is documented. Starting patients at 150 mg daily seems to be the most logical step, but dose reductions will be implemented based on side effects and adverse events.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Clinical Benefit of Tarceva in CRPC.

    Overall Clinical Benefit = percentage of partial responders (PR)+ the percentage of patients with stable disease (SD). Partial Response (PR) is defined as at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum. Stable Disease (SD)is defined as neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for Progressive Disease, using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0).

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Overall Survival

    One year survival rate.

    Measured: during study

  2. Time to Disease Progression

    Patients were evaluated for response biochemically and radiographically at each response assessment. RECIST 1.0 criteria were used for radiographic response. PSA measurement at a central laboratory was used to assess biochemical response. Patients must have had a baseline PSA of 5 ng/ml to be evaluated for PSA response. PSA was measured every 8 weeks.

    For patients with measurable disease radiographically, PSA progression was not considered as having progressive disease. Refer to study publication for details.

    Measured: 25 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Tarceva in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Oncology Specialists, S.C. 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 11 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 27 Jun 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 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 17 Oct 2013). 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?

Overall Clinical Benefit of Tarceva in CRPC. (time frame: 5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00272038, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 27 Jun 2018.
