About this study

Official title: A Phase II, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Randomised Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Docetaxel (Taxotere)/Prednisolone/ZD6474 vs Docetaxel/Prednisolone/Placebo in Patients With Hormone Refractory Prostrate Cancer (HRPC)

The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment with Zactima (vandetanib) in combination with Docetaxel and Prednisolone is more effective than the standard Docetaxel and Prednisolone alone for prostate cancer, in patients with Hormone refractory prostate cancer who have not previously received chemotherapy.

What participants receive

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

What is being measured

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

  1. Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Response

    Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) response was defined as a reduction of at least 50% from baseline at any assessment, confirmed by a second assessment 2-4 weeks after the initial response

    Measured: PSA measurements were to be performed at screening, at baseline (>2 weeks after screening) and every 3 weeks during the study. Any response was to be confirmed 2-4 weeks after the initial assessment of a 50% fall in PSA from baseline

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Patients With an Objective Disease Progression Event

    Number of patients with objective disease progression or death (by any cause in the absence of objective progression)

    Measured: RECIST tumour assessments carried out at screening and then as per site clinical practice until objective progression. The only additional mandatory tumour assessment visit is at the point of data cut-off (21 July 2007 or up to 7 days in advance of DCO)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Zactima (vandetanib), Docetaxel and Prednisolone in people with Prostate Cancer and Metastatic, run by Sanofi at 11 sites in 5 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 3 inclusion and 2 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 7 Oct 2016. 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 Germany, Brazil, South Africa, Sweden, Hungary. 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 24 May 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?

Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Response (time frame: PSA measurements were to be performed at screening, at baseline (>2 weeks after screening) and every 3 weeks during the study. Any response was to be confirmed 2-4 weeks after the initial assessment of a 50% fall in PSA from baseline). 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 7 Oct 2016.
