About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Open Label Study of the 17α-Hydroxylase/ C17,20 Lyase Inhibitor, Abiraterone Acetate in Patients With Prostate Cancer Who Have Failed Hormone Therapy

The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose and evaluate the safety, tolerability, and activity at the recommended dose (maximum tolerated dose [MTD]) of abiraterone acetate (also known as CB7630) in participants with hormone refractory prostate (gland that makes fluid that aids movement of sperm) cancer (HRPC).

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention) study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and recommended dose of abiraterone acetate taken orally (by mouth), once daily in participants with HRPC. The study will consist of a dose escalation stage (Phase 1) that will be conducted to determine the MTD of abiraterone and an activity evaluation stage (Phase 2) to evaluate the activity of abiraterone in participants with HRPC. Escalated doses of abiraterone (starting at 250 milligram [mg] up to a maximum of 2000 mg) will be given for 28-day treatment periods to determine the MTD. Participants will be given MTD of abiraterone for up to 12 cycles (28 day each) in Phase 2 of the study. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Confirmed Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Response at Week 12

    The PSA response was measured according to PSA working group (PSAWG) criteria. All participants achieving a fall in PSA of greater than 50 percent from baseline, which has been confirmed by a second measurement at least 4 weeks after initial documentation, fulfill criteria for confirmed PSA response.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Number of Participants With Objective Tumor Response

    Number of participants with objective response based on assessment of confirmed complete response (CR) or confirmed partial response (PR) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). Confirmed CR defined as disappearance of all target lesions. Confirmed PR defined as greater than or equal to 30 percent decrease in sum of the longest dimensions (LD) of the target lesions taking as a reference the baseline sum LD according to RECIST. Confirmed responses are those that persist on repeat imaging study greater than or equal to 4 weeks after initial documentation of response.

    Measured: Baseline up to end of study (1160 days)

  2. Duration of Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Response

    Duration of PSA response in participants on abiraterone acetate therapy was measured as the duration between PSA 50 percent decline date and PSA progression date as defined by the PSAWG criteria.

    Measured: Baseline up to end of study (1160 days)

  3. Duration of Objective Tumor Response by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)

    Number of participants with objective response based on assessment of confirmed CR or confirmed PR according to RECIST. Confirmed CR defined as disappearance of all target lesions. Confirmed PR defined as greater than or equal to 30 percent decrease in sum of the LD of the target lesions taking as a reference the baseline sum LD according to RECIST. Confirmed responses are those that persist on repeat imaging study greater than or equal to 4 weeks after initial documentation of response.

    Measured: Baseline up to end of study (1160 days)

  4. Time to Disease Progression

    Disease progression was defined as greater than 25 percent increase in sum of longest diameter of target lesions compared to baseline.

    Measured: Baseline up to end of study (1160 days)

  5. Overall Survival

    Overall survival was the duration from enrollment to death. For participants who are alive, overall survival was censored at the last contact.

    Measured: Baseline up to end of study (1160 days)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Abiraterone acetate, Abiraterone acetate MTD and Dexamethasone in people with Prostatic Neoplasms, run by Cougar Biotechnology, Inc. at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 5 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 Mar 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 Kingdom. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 29 Aug 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?

Number of Participants With Confirmed Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Response at Week 12 (time frame: Baseline, Week 12). 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 Mar 2014.
