About this study

Official title: Pilot Phase II Trial of Bevacizumab in Combination With Hormonal and Radiotherapy in Patients With High-Risk Prostate Cancer

The purpose of this study is to determine the acute and late toxicities from radiation therapy in combination with bevacizumab (given every 2 weeks for 16 weeks then every 3 weeks for 12 weeks), bicalutamide (every day for 16 weeks) and goserelin (every 3 months for 2 years).

Read the detailed description

Although there is no data on the toxicity with concurrent bevacizumab and hormonal therapy, the combination is not expected to increase toxicity seen when given as a single agent. Abnormal tumor microenvironments, tumor progression, and metastatic spread are major factors contributing to treatment failures in radiotherapy. Anti-VEGF agents (e.g. bevacizumab) can help overcome these factors through several different mechanisims.

Studies also demonstrate prolonged use of anti-VEGF agents with radiation therapy was more effective at preventing metastases from irradiated tumors compared to a short course. Patients generally start hormonal therapy and daily radiotherapy at the same time. This study will delay the start of radiotherapy until 8 weeks after the start of hormonal therapy and bevacizumab.

What participants receive

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

  • bevacizumab, bicalutamide and goserelinDrug

  • intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT)Procedure or surgery

What is being measured

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

  1. To determine the acute (within 90 days from 1st day of radiation therapy) toxicities from intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in conjunction with bevacizumab, bicalutamide, and goserelin.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. To evaluate the late toxicities (>90 days from 1st day of radiation therapy) of IMRT, bevacizumab, bicalutamide, and goserelin. Patients will be followed on study for toxicity evaluation for at least one year from day 1 if radiation therapy.

  2. To determine the tolerability of the combination of bevacizumab and hormonal therapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing bevacizumab, bicalutamide and goserelin and intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Benaroya Research Institute 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 7 inclusion and 7 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 16 Jul 2014. 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?

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?

To determine the acute (within 90 days from 1st day of radiation therapy) toxicities from intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in conjunction with bevacizumab, bicalutamide, and goserelin.. 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 16 Jul 2014.
