What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With a Response

    Response = confirmed prostate specific antigen (PSA) response (decrease in PSA =>50% from baseline), confirmed improved bone scan (disappearance of => 1 lesion, no new lesions, new pain not developing), confirmed complete response (CR: disappearance of all lesions) or confirmed partial response (PR: =>30% in sum of longest diameter [LD] of all lesions compared to baseline sum LD), stable disease (SD: neither sufficient increase for progressive disease [PD: =>20% increase in sum of LD of all target lesions] nor sufficient shrinkage for PR), based on Response Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST].

    Measured: Within 2 weeks of first study drug administration, thereafter recorded every 4 weeks.

  2. Percentage of Participants With a Response

    Response = confirmed PSA response (decrease in PSA =>50% from baseline), confirmed improved bone scan (disappearance of => 1 lesion, no new lesions, new pain not developing), confirmed CR (disappearance of all lesions) or confirmed PR (=>30% in sum of LD of all lesions compared to baseline sum LD), SD (neither sufficient increase for PD [=>20% increase in sum of LD of all target lesions] nor sufficient shrinkage for PR), based on RECIST.

    Measured: Within 2 weeks of first study drug administration, thereafter recorded every 4 weeks.

Secondary outcomes (38)
  1. Number of Participants With a Decrease in PSA by at Least 50% From Baseline

    PSA is a marker of prostate cancer and a PSA response is defined as a decrease in the PSA value by at least 50% from baseline, for 2 successive evaluations, each at least 2 weeks apart, for a total of 3 measurements.

    Measured: Prior to treatment with the study drug, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12 and every 4 weeks thereafter.

  2. Percentage of Participants With a Decrease in PSA by at Least 50% From Baseline

    PSA is a marker of prostate cancer and a PSA response is defined as a decrease in the PSA value by at least 50% from baseline for 2 successive evaluations, each at least 2 weeks apart, for a total of 3 measurements.

    Measured: Prior to treatment with the study drug, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12 and every 4 weeks thereafter.

  3. Number of Months of Decrease in PSA by at Least 50% From Baseline

    PSA is a marker of prostate cancer. The duration of PSA response is measured from the time that the first of the 2 consecutive measurements met the criteria for confirmed PSA response, until the date of the first of the 3 consecutive measurements that confirm PSA progression, or the date of disease progression, or the date of death.

    Measured: Prior to treatment with the study drug, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12 and every 4 weeks thereafter.

  4. Number of Participants With Decrease in PSA Velocity

    PSA is a marker of prostate cancer. PSA velocity measures the rate of change of PSA values. A decrease in PSA values and hence PSA velocity is an early indicator of potential anti-tumor activity.

    Measured: Prior to treatment with the study drug, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12 and every 4 weeks thereafter.

  5. Number of Participants With Decrease in PSA Log Slope

    PSA is a marker of prostate cancer. A decrease in PSA value is an early indicator of potential anti-tumor activity. Log (PSA) is assumed to have a linear relationship with time. The PSA log slope is defined as the slope of the log PSA line.

    Measured: Prior to treatment with the study drug, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12 and every 4 weeks thereafter.

  6. Number of Participants With Increase in PSA Doubling Time

    PSA is a marker of prostate cancer. PSA doubling time is defined as log 2 divided by the slope of the log PSA line. An increase in PSA doubling time indicates improvement in anti-tumor activity.

    Measured: Prior to treatment with the study drug, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12 and every 4 weeks thereafter.

  7. Number of Participants With CR or PR

    Tumor response was defined as the number of participants whose best response was CR or PR, per RECIST: CR: disappearance of all target/non-target lesions; PR: >= 30% decrease in the sum of the LDs of target lesions relative to the baseline sum LD

    Measured: Prior to treatment with the study drug, Week 12, every 12 weeks thereafter and at the end of the treatment.

  8. Number of Participants With CR, PR or SD

    Disease control rate is defined as the number of participants whose best response was CR, PR or SD, per RECIST: CR: disappearance of all target/non-target lesions; PR: >= 30% decrease in the sum of the LDs of target lesions relative to the baseline sum LD; SD: neither sufficient increase to qualify for PD nor sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR; PD: defined as appearance of new lesion/s, or >=20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions, relative to the smallest sum LD recorded since treatment start, or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions.

    Measured: Prior to treatment with the study drug, Week 12, every 12 weeks thereafter and at the end of the treatment.

  9. Number of Participants With a Confirmed Improved Bone Scan

    An improved bone scan was defined as 1 or more of the following: disappearance of at least 1 lesion, no new lesions appearing since the most recent prior assessment, or new pain not developing in an area that was previously visualized. A response is considered confirmed if it is noted on 2 examinations at least 4 weeks apart.

    Measured: Prior to treatment with the study drug, Week 12, every 12 weeks thereafter and at the end of the treatment.

  10. Percentage of Participants With Confirmed Improved Bone Scan

    An improved bone scan was defined as 1 or more of the following: disappearance of at least 1 lesion, no new lesions appearing since the most recent prior assessment, or new pain not developing in an area that was previously visualized. A response is considered confirmed if it is noted on 2 examinations at least 4 weeks apart.

    Measured: Prior to treatment with the study drug, Week 12, every 12 weeks thereafter and at the end of the treatment.

  11. Number of Participants With Disease Progression

    Disease progression: progression of target lesions or unequivocal progression of non-measurable lesions/disease as evaluated by computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), not as evaluated by bone scan (non-measurable lesions included visceral and bone lesions), loss of PSA response (only for participants who achieved a PSA response) or Investigator-defined clinical progression based on physical examination, history, symptoms, and ECOG-PS. For participants who did not progress or die, date of last PSA measurement or tumor assessment was used, whichever occurred first.

    Measured: Prior to treatment with the study drug, Week 12 and every 12 weeks thereafter and at the end of the treatment.

  12. Median Number of Months to Disease Progression

    Measured from date of first dose to date of first 3 consecutive measurements that confirm PSA progression, date of disease progression,or death date.Disease progression:progression of target lesions or unequivocal progression of non-measurable lesions/disease as evaluated by computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),loss of PSA response or Investigator-defined clinical progression based on physical examination,history,symptoms,and ECOG-PS.For participants who did not progress or die,date of last PSA measurement or tumor assessment was used, whichever occurred first.

    Measured: Prior to treatment with the study drug, Week 12 and every 12 weeks thereafter and at the end of the treatment.

  13. Median Change From Baseline in Individual FAPSI Scores at Week 12

    FAPSI-8:symptom index of important clinician-rated symptoms/concerns to monitor when assessing value of treatment for advanced prostate cancer. Participants respond to each item on a 5-point Likert-type scale from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much). GP1:I have lack of energy, GP4:I have pain, GE6:I worry that my condition will get worse, C2: I am losing weight, P2:I have certain areas in my body where I experience significant pain,P3:My pain keeps me from doing things I want to do, P7:I have difficulty urinating, P8:My problems with urinating limit my activities.

  18. Number of Participants Who Experienced Drug-related SAEs, Drug-related AEs, Drug-related Grade 3/4 AEs and Discontinuations Due to Drug-related AEs.

    Drug-related AEs are those events with a relationship to the study therapy of certain; probable; possible; or missing. Drug-related SAEs are those events with any relationship to the study therapy. Drug-related AEs were graded using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC), version 3.0: Grade 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe, 4=life threatening, 5=death. Participants who discontinued the study due to any drug-related AEs were also recorded.

    Measured: From start of study drug therapy up to 30 days after the last dose.

  19. Number of Participants With Grade 3-4 Hematology Abnormalities

    Abnormalities were graded per the NCI CTC, version 3.0 criteria (Grade 1 = mild, Grade 2 = moderate, Grade 3 = severe, Grade 4 = life threatening). Grade 3 and 4 criteria are as follows: Hemoglobin: Grade 3:6.5 - <8.0g/dL, Grade 4: <6.5g/dL. Platelets: Grade 3: 25.0 - <50.0*10^9/L, Grade 4: <25.0*10. Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC): Grade 3: 0.5 - <1.0*10^9/L, Grade 4: <0.5*10^9/L. Leukocytes: Grade 3: 1.0 - <2.0*10^9/L, Grade 4: <1.0*10^9/L.

    Measured: Data was collected prior treatment with the study drug, Week 2, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12 , every 4 weeks thereafter and at the end of the treatment.

  20. Number of Participants With Grade 3-4 Serum Chemistry Abnormalities in Alanine Aminotransferase, Aspartate Aminotransferase, Alkaline Phosphatase, Bilirubin and Calcium

  22. Number of Participants With Abnormal Lactate Dehydrogenase (LD)

    LDH is a laboratory safety parameter. Normal ranges for LD vary with both age and disease status, and another reason for variation in upper limit of normal (ULN) and lower limit of normal (LLN) is that LD was measured via a local (versus a standardized) laboratory. It is therefore not possible to provide one ULN and LLN for the population.

    Measured: Data was collected prior treatment with the study drug, Week 2, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12, every 4 weeks thereafter and at the end of the treatment.

  23. Number of Participants With Positive Urinalysis

    Participants' urine samples were tested for the presence of blood, glucose and protein. If these substances were present in a participant's urine, the results were given as "positive".

    Measured: Data was collected prior treatment with the study drug, Week 2, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12 , every 4 weeks thereafter and at the end of the treatment.

  24. Number of Participants With QTc Prolongation

    The QT interval is a measure of the time between the start of the Q wave and the end of the T wave in the heart's electrical cycle. QTc is the QT interval corrected for heart rate. A prolonged QT interval is a risk factor for ventricular tachyarrhythmias and sudden death.

    Measured: From start of study drug therapy up to 30 days after the last dose.

  25. Number of Participants With a Baseline uNTx Value <=ULN, With a Decrease, Increase or no Change in uNTx

    uNTx is a measure of bone metabolism. A decrease in the marker relative to baseline indicates a decrease in bone metabolism.

  26. Number of Participants With a Baseline uNTx Value >ULN, With a Decrease, Increase or no Change in uNTx

    uNTx is a measure of bone metabolism. A decrease in the marker relative to baseline indicates a decrease in bone metabolism.

    Measured: Prior to treatment with the study drug, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12 and every 4 weeks thereafter.

  27. Number of Participants With a uNTx Response

    uNTx is a measure of bone metabolism. uNTx response is defined for participants with baseline uNTx above ULN. It is defined as either on-study uNTx values decreasing to within normal limits or 35% or more decrease in uNTx from baseline, whichever happens first.

    Measured: Prior to treatment with the study drug, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12 and every 4 weeks thereafter.

  28. Median Number of Months of uNTx Response

    uNTx is a measure of bone metabolism.The median number of months of uNTx response was calculated for participants with baseline uNTx =< ULN and uNTx progression during treatment, from first dose of dasatinib to uNTx progression.For participant with baseline uNTx above ULN, it was time from uNTx response to uNTx progression.For participants with baseline uNTx equal to or below ULN or uNTx response and no uNTx progression, the date of last uNTx assessment was used. Duration of uNTx response was not defined for participants with baseline value greater than ULN who never achieved uNTx responses.

    Measured: Prior to treatment with the study drug, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12 and every 4 weeks thereafter.

  29. Number of Participants With a Baseline BAP Value <= ULN, With a Decrease, Increase or no Change in BAP

    BAP is a measure of bone metabolism. A decrease in BAP relative to the baseline indicates decrease in bone metabolism.

    Measured: Prior to treatment with the study drug, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12 and every 4 weeks thereafter.

  30. Number of Participants With a Baseline BAP Value > ULN, With a Decrease, Increase or no Change in BAP

    BAP is a measure of bone metabolism. A decrease in BAP relative to baseline indicates a decrease in bone metabolism.

    Measured: Prior to treatment with the study drug, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12 and every 4 weeks thereafter.

  31. Number of Participants With BAP Response

    Measured: Prior to treatment with the study drug, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12 and every 4 weeks thereafter.

  32. Median Number of Months of BAP Response

    The median number of months of the BAP response was calculated for participants with baseline BAP <= ULN, from first dose of dasatinib to the first time BAP is above ULN. For participants with baseline BAP > ULN, it was the time from BAP response to the first time BAP was above ULN. For participants with baseline BAP =< ULN or BAP, and no BAP above ULN, last BAP assessment date was used. The median number of months of response was not defined for participants with baseline value > ULN, that never achieved BAP response.

A Phase 2 study testing dasatinib in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Bristol-Myers Squibb at 11 sites in 3 countries.

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 5 inclusion and 4 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 30 Apr 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites in United States, France, Italy. 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 1 Mar 2011). 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 Participants With a Response (time frame: Within 2 weeks of first study drug administration, thereafter recorded every 4 weeks.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00385580, 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.
