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 18 years and older
  • Men only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • A diagnosis of histologically confirmed, progressive, advanced metastatic, or nonmetastatic prostate cancer with documented PSA progression, with a calculated PSA doubling time <3 months, on complete androgen ablation therapy. PSA progression, with or without clinical progression (symptomatic/radiologic as per RECIST) is required; measurable disease is not required.
  • Baseline PSA values must be followed by 2 serial increases at least 2 weeks apart (no upper limit for time for these 2 samples). Calculated PSA doubling time, for the above PSA values must be <3 months. An automated PSA doubling time calculator may be found at www.mskcc.org/mskcc/html/10088.cfm (see study tools).
  • Currently on complete androgen ablation hormone therapy (an LHRH agonist plus an antiandrogen) with testosterone level <50ng/dL). Patients who are on LHRH agonist or other antiandrogenic therapy at entry will continue that therapy while on this study. Anti-androgen withdrawal is not necessary and is precluded before enrollment on the trial. The details of that therapy must be recorded in the CRF. Patients who have had an orchiectomy and who are on antiandrogen therapy are permitted on study.
  • An elevated PSA level for patients progressing by PSA criteria is required (see protocol for specific detail).
  • Has a Karnofsky Performance Status >70
  • Is greater than 18 years of age
Show all 10Show fewer
  • Must meet specific lab values for the following criteria: granulocyte, platelet count, total bilirubin, AST and ALT, serum creatinine, calculated creatinine clearance \& urinalysis (see protocol for specific detail).
  • If fertile, the patient has agreed to use an acceptable method of birth control to avoid fathering a child for the duration of the study and for a period of 2 months thereafter.
  • Has signed a Patient Informed Consent Form
  • Has signed a Patient Authorization Form

Who cannot join

  • Has only clinical progression without evidence of PSA progression
  • Has received prior chemotherapy
  • Has had prior treatment with Vidaza
  • Has a history of hypersensitivity to any component of Vidaza (mannitol)
  • Has a history of New York Heart Association (NYHA) heart disease Class III or IV (Appendix III) or myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to Day 1 or unstable arrhythmia or evidence of ischemia on electrocardiogram (ECG)
  • Is receiving concurrent immunotherapy
Show all 14Show fewer
  • Is receiving concurrent bisphosphonate therapy; long-standing bisphosphonate therapy (initiated >8 weeks prior to registration) is acceptable. Bisphosphonates started within the prior 8 weeks will not be allowed since this may affect other study endpoints and render their interpretation difficult.
  • Has received treatment with radiation therapy, surgery, chemotherapy, ketoconazole, corticosteroids, or an investigational agent within 1 month prior to registration, (6 weeks for radiation therapy, nitrosureas or Mitomycin C)
  • Has evidence of central nervous system (CNS) involvement
  • Has a serious uncontrolled intercurrent medical or psychiatric illness, including serious infection that requires systemic therapy
  • Has a serious uncontrolled nonmalignant disease (liver failure, or other condition) that could compromise protocol objectives in the opinion of the Investigator
  • Has a history of other malignancy within the last 5 years (except cured basal cell carcinoma of skin), which could affect the diagnosis or assessment of any of the study drugs
  • Is known to be positive for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B, or hepatitis C
  • Is unable to comply with requirements of study

About this study

Official title: Phase II Study for the Use of Vidaza™ to Restore Responsiveness of Patients' Prostate Cancers to Hormonal Therapy

The purpose of this research study is to find out what effects (good and bad) Vidaza has on patients with prostate cancer. This investigational drug is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of prostate cancer; however, it is approved in myelodysplastic syndrome - a bone marrow disease. The pharmaceutical company involved in this study, Pharmion Corporation, is the manufacturer of Vidaza.

Read the detailed description

This is an open label Phase II study. Patients will receive Vidaza for 5 consecutive days (Days 1- 5) of each 28-day cycle. Complete androgen ablation will be continued. Response will be assessed after a minimum of 2 cycles (evaluable patients). PSA response will be evaluated prior to each cycle and % fetal hemoglobin will be evaluated prior to each odd cycle (excluding Cycle 1). Patients will be treated until clinical progression up to a maximum of 12 cycles. A total of 35 patients with advanced metastatic HRPC will be enrolled in this trial.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Patients With PSA Doubling Time >=3 Months.

    To determine if Vidaza can convert hormone-refractory prostate cancer to a hormone-responsive state. This will be assessed by the proportion of patients who have a documented prostate specific antigen (PSA) doubling time >3= months.

    Measured: Until progression or up to a maximum of 12 cycles

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. PSA Response Rate

    Complete PSA Response defined as complete normalization of PSA maintained for at least 4 weeks, and partial PSA response defined as a decrease in PSA level of at least 50% from baseline level maintained for at least 4 weeks.

    Measured: Every 8 weeks for 1 year.

  2. Objective Response Rate by Recist (ORR)

    ORR = Complete Response (CR) + Parcial response (PR). CR: Disappearance of all target lesions. PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the LD of target lesions taking as reference the baseline sum LD.

    Measured: Every 8 weeks for 1 year.

  3. Progression-free Survival

    PFS is measured from the date of randomization to the date of first documented disease progression or date of death, whichever comes first. If a patient neither progresses nor dies, this patient will be censored at last contact date.

    Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.

    Measured: Up to 1.5 year.

  4. 1-year Overall Survival (OS)

    OS is measured from the date of randomization to the date of death for a dead patient. If a patient is still alive or is lost to follow up, the patient will be censored at the last contact date.

    Measured: Up to 1 year.

  5. Changes in Fetal Hemoglobin (HbF) With Time.

    Time from baseline to maximal fetal hemoglobin (HbF).

    Measured: Up to 1 year.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing azacitidine for injectable suspension in people with Prostate Cancer, run by US Oncology Research at 13 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 10 inclusion and 14 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 25 Oct 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 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 25 Oct 2018). 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?

Percentage of Patients With PSA Doubling Time >=3 Months. (time frame: Until progression or up to a maximum of 12 cycles). 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?
