Trial summary

Dutasteride inhibits the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) the male hormone that leads to benign prostate growth. By blocking the conversion of testosterone to DHT, dutasteride could allow bicalutamide to be a more effective anti-androgen thus prolonging bicalutamide's efficacy. Read more about this study

  • Serum Testosterone <50ng/ml from central laboratory.
  • Non-metastatic prostate cancer as confirmed on prior bone scan performed within 8 weeks of screening.
  • Expected survival ≥ 2 years
  • ECOG Performance status 0, 1, or 2

Who cannot join

  • Additional hormonal therapy (excluding the current use of a GnRH analogue) within the past 6 months of:
  • Estrogens (e.g. megestrol, medroxyprogesterone, cyproterone, DES)
  • Drugs with antiandrogenic properties (e.g., spironolactone if >50mg/day, flutamide, bicalutamide*, ketoconazole**, progestational agents)
  • The use of an antiandrogen during GnRH analogue induction for <6 weeks is acceptable, but none within the 3 months prior to study entry.
  • The use of topical ketoconazole is permitted prior to and during the study. NOTE: Use of dietary and herbal supplements (e.g., selenium, Vitamin E, saw palmetto), excluding daily vitamins, during the study is discouraged, but not prohibited. All dietary and herbal supplement usage will be recorded in the eCRF.
  • Treatment with oral glucocorticoids during the 3 months prior to randomization or expectation of their use during the study.

About this study

Official title: A Randomized Double-Blind Parallel Group Study Comparing Casodex (or Generic Equivalent) 50mg Plus Placebo to Casodex (or Generic Equivalent) 50mg Plus Dutasteride 3.5mg Administered for 18 Months to Men With Prostate Cancer Who Have Failed First-Line Androgen Deprivation Therapy (Assessed by Rising PSA) Followed by a Two-Year Extension Phase

Dutasteride inhibits the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) the male hormone that leads to benign prostate growth. By blocking the conversion of testosterone to DHT, dutasteride could allow bicalutamide to be a more effective anti-androgen thus prolonging bicalutamide's efficacy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to Disease Progression

    Time to disease progression (PD) is defined as the interval of time between the date of the start of treatment and the date of PD. PD is defined as prostate specific antigen (PSA) progression from Baseline (PSA value is 25% and at least 2 nanograms per milliliter [ng/mL] above Baseline, confirmed by a second PSA value); PSA progression from nadir, without a 50% decrease from Baseline (PSA value is 25% and at least 2 ng/mL above nadir, confirmed by a second PSA value); PSA progression from nadir, with a 50% or more decrease from Baseline (PSA value is 50% and at least 2 ng/mL above nadir, confirmed by a second PSA value); metastatic disease (radiographic evidence of metastatic disease); death due to prostate cancer; or the receipt of post-Baseline rescue medication. PSA confirmation was not required if no subsequent PSA values were available. Participants who did not experience an event were censored at the date of the latest follow-up information.

    Measured: Interval of time between the date of the start of treatment and the date of disease progression (up to Study Month 42)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Time to Treatment Failure

    Time to treatment failure is defined as the interval of time between the date of the start of treatment and the date of treatment failure. Treatment failure is defined as PSA progression from Baseline (PSA value is 25% and at least 2 ng/mL above Baseline, confirmed by a second PSA value); metastatic disease (radiographic evidence of metastatic disease); death due to prostate cancer; or receipt of post-baseline rescue medications. PSA confirmation was not required if no subsequent PSA values were available. Participants who did not experience an event were censored at the date of the latest follow-up information.

    Measured: Interval of time between the date of the start of treatment and the date of treatment failure (up to Study Month 42)

  2. Number of Participants With PSA Response

    PSA response is defined as a 50% or greater decrease in PSA from Baseline, confirmed by a second PSA measurement. The time of this response was the date of the first PSA measurement that showed a 50% or greater decrease from the Baseline PSA measurement. PSA confirmation was not required if no subsequent PSA values were available.

    Measured: Time from Baseline PSA measurement until the first PSA measurement with a 50% or greater reduction in PSA values (up to Study Month 42)

  3. Change From Baseline in Total PSA at Months 6, 12, 18, 21, and 42

    Change from Baseline in total PSA was measured at each scheduled post-baseline visit using a general linear model with effects for treatment and Baseline total PSA. Analysis was done using the last observation carried forward (LOCF) approach, in which missing post-Baseline values were imputed with earlier non-missing values. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.

    Measured: Baseline and Months 6, 12, 18, 21, and 42

  4. Number of Participants With Metastatic Disease

    Metastatic disease is that evidenced by a radiographic assessment. The time of metastatic disease was the date of radiographic evidence.

    Measured: Interval of time between the date of the start of treatment and the date of radiographic evidence of metastatic disease (up to Study Month 42)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing dutasteride and bicalutamide in people with Neoplasms, Prostate, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 62 sites in 2 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 7 inclusion and 19 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 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 62 sites in United States, Canada. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 Nov 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?

Time to Disease Progression (time frame: Interval of time between the date of the start of treatment and the date of disease progression (up to Study Month 42)). 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 27 Feb 2017.
