  • Ages 18 years and older
  • Men only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients must have clinical stage 1-3 disease and no radiographic evidence of metastatic disease
  • Nomogram Prediction: Patients must have a Kattan nomogram predicted probability of being free from biochemical progression at 5 years after surgery of <60%.

Who cannot join

  • Concurrent or prior treatment with radiation, cytotoxic or biologic therapy for prostate cancer, prior hormonal therapy (except finasteride or dutasteride for obstructive voiding symptoms)
  • Male patients unwilling to use effective means of contraception are excluded. Contraception should be continued for 3 months after treatment.
  • Prior malignancy will not exclude the patient. (Patients can not have active cancer or be undergoing active treatment). The Principal Investigator will make final decision regarding eligibility since the end point is pathological complete response.

About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of Neoadjuvant Docetaxel and CG1940/CG8711 Followed by Radical Prostatectomy in Patients With High-Risk, Clinically Localized Prostate Cancer

The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good and bad, the combination of docetaxel with CG1940/CG8711 (immunotherapy drugs) have on destroying prostate cancer before removal the prostate (prostatectomy).

Conditions

What participants receive

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

  • DocetaxelDrug

    Also called Taxotere

    Docetaxel 75mg/m2 will be given intravenously every 3 weeks for four cycles.

  • CG1940/CG8711Biological

    Immunotherapy allogeneic GM-CSF secreting cellular vaccine

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Pathological Complete Response.

    CG1940/CG8711 was given along with docetaxel over a series of treatment prior to radical prostatectomy. Pathology of resected specimen was done to determine complete response, defined as no microscopic evidence of neoplastic cells in the resected specimen

    Measured: The study evaluates 4 months of docetaxel and immunotherapy prior to radical prostatectomy followed by radical prostatectomy with an additional 3 months of immunotherapy after radical prostatectomy.

A Phase 2 study testing Docetaxel and CG1940/CG8711 in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Benaroya Research Institute 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 2 inclusion and 3 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 20 Jan 2011. 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 20 Jan 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?

Number of Participants With Pathological Complete Response. (time frame: The study evaluates 4 months of docetaxel and immunotherapy prior to radical prostatectomy followed by radical prostatectomy with an additional 3 months of immunotherapy after radical prostatectomy.). 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 20 Jan 2011.
