About this study

Official title: A Pharmacokinetics Study to Assess the Oral Administration of CB7630 (Abiraterone Acetate) Capsule Formulation and Tablet Formulation in Patients With Prostate Cancer

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (how the drug concentrations change over time) of capsule and tablet formulations of CB7630 (abiraterone acetate) taken with and without food in patients with prostate cancer.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label study (identity of assigned study drug will be known) to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of abiraterone acetate in patients with prostate cancer. The study will be conducted in 4 stages: Stage 1 will measure blood levels after patients take 1 daily dose of abiraterone tablet or capsule formulations with and without food; Stage 2 will measure blood levels of single daily doses of abiraterone tablet formulation taken with or without food in parallel design until disease progression (up to 12 cycles [28 days per cycle]); Stages 3 and 4 will evaluate the safety and antitumor effects of abiraterone tablet formulation administered with a low dose glucocorticoid in a fasted state for up to 12 months for each stage. As of Protocol Amendment 4, all patients who have completed 12 cycles of abiraterone acetate treatment and continue to receive clinical benefit from such a treatment will enter Stage 4 and receive abiraterone acetate in a fasted condition with a low-dose glucocorticoid. Patients will continue in Stage 4 for an additional 24 cycles. After patients complete the last study visit, they will be followed every 3 months for disease progression and survival for up to 3 years. Serial pharmacokinetic samples will be collected during Stages 1 and 2. Efficacy and safety will be monitored throughout the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Stage 1 Group 1: abiraterone acetate, Stage 1 Group 2: abiraterone acetate and Stage 2: abiraterone acetate in people with Prostate Neoplasms, run by Cougar Biotechnology, Inc. at 3 sites in 2 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 10 inclusion and 8 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 17 Apr 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United Kingdom, 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 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.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Mean plasma concentrations of abiraterone (time frame: Stage 1 predose Day 1, Days 2-4, Days 8-11; Stage 2 Day 1 Cycles 4, 7, 10). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. 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 17 Apr 2013.
