About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor Plus Mitoxantrone for the Treatment of Hormone Refractory Prostate Cancer

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the combination of mitoxantrone and granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) on progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), in patients with hormone-refractory prostate cancer.

Read the detailed description

This trial evaluates if the addition of GM-CSF to standard-of-care therapy after 1st-line docetaxel improves tumor control and survival. Because the 2 drugs have completely different mechanisms of action as well as non-overlapping metabolism, clinically significant drug-drug interactions are not anticipated, and therefore both drugs will be given at standard (approved) doses.

Being tested
Mitoxantrone, GM-CSF
Medical subject headings
Prostatic Neoplasms

What participants receive

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

  • MitoxantroneDrug

    Also called Novantrone

    Mitoxantrone is an anti-cancer chemotherapy drug that is classified as an antitumor antibiotic.

  • GM-CSFDrug

    Also called Sargramostim, Leukine, Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor

    GM-CSF is a biologic response modifier, classified as a colony stimulating factor.

Study groups in NCT00477087
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
GM-CSF Plus MitoxantroneExperimentalGM-CSF at 250 micrograms/ m² / day subcutaneously 3 x week for 3 weeks. Participants will also receive mitoxantrone 14 mg/m² on Day 1 of each cycle. Each cycle of therapy consists 21 days.
Receives: Drug: Mitoxantrone; Drug: GM-CSF

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    Assessed as the time from the 1st dose of study drug to death or disease progression (increase >25% over baseline PSA on 2 consecutive measurements 2 weeks apart, need for palliative therapy, formation/progression of new bone lesions, or decline of >20% KPS)

    Measured: 18 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Participants With > 50% Decrease in Prostate-specific Antigen Levels (PSA Response)

    Defined as the first evidence of a total serum PSA decline of > 50% from baseline, maintained for at least 28 days, and confirmed with 2 consecutive measurements taken 2 weeks apart.

    Measured: 18 months

  2. Overall Survival (OS)

    Assessed as the time from the 1st dose of study drug to death.

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Mitoxantrone and GM-CSF in people with Prostatic Neoplasms, run by Stanford University 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 12 inclusion and 21 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Nov 2017. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 Nov 2017). 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?

Progression-free Survival (PFS) (time frame: 18 months). 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 29 Nov 2017.
