About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of SU011248 for Maintenance Therapy in Hormone Refractory Prostate Cancer After First Line Chemotherapy

The major goal is to determine whether the experimental agent has clinically promising activity that would merit progression to a formal phase III trial.

Patients with hormone refractory prostate cancer after docetaxel chemotherapy have limited treatment options and no systemic treatment has been proven to be effective. Because of its action, safety and simple administration SU011248 has potential for effectiveness in this disease setting. Promising activity in this study would provide the necessary proof-of-principle for a larger confirmatory study in this population, and potentially in earlier stages of this common disease.

What participants receive

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

  • Sunitinib (SU011248)Drug

    Also called Sutent

    SU011248 (study medication) will be given at 50 mg/day as a single agent for 4 consecutive weeks followed by a 2 week rest period to form a complete cycle of 6 weeks. Study medication will be orally self administered once daily without regard to meals beginning on Day 1 of the study. Cycles will be repeated in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression Free Survival

    Measured: 180 days without evidence of disease progression would be considered clinically worthy of further investigation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. -PSA Response -Toxicity

    Measured: The secondary endpoint of PSA response will also be documented. PSA response is defined as a ≥50% fall in PSA (minimum of 5 µg/L) from baseline maintained for > 3 weeks and without evidence of disease progression otherwise.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Sunitinib (SU011248) in people with Prostate Cancer and Hormone Refractory, run by Alberta Health services at 4 sites in Canada.

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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Dec 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in 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. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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 (time frame: 180 days without evidence of disease progression would be considered clinically worthy of further investigation). 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 Dec 2011.
