About this study

Official title: A Single Arm, Two Center, Phase II Study of RAD001 in Patients With Metastatic, Hormone-Refractory Prostate Cancer

The purpose of this study is to determine the biochemical response rate (PSA) to single agent RAD001 in patients with metastatic hormone-refractory prostate cancer (HRPC).

Read the detailed description

This is a single center, Phase II study of RAD001 in men with HRPC. The study design is a straight forward, two-stage design with tumor biopsies scheduled at screening and again at 4 weeks. FLT-PET scans are performed at screening and again at day 28, following initiation of treatment in the first 10 patients. Patients are assessed for adverse events every two weeks for the first month and monthly thereafter. Patients are assessed for response by PSA every 4 weeks and when applicable, for objective response every 2 months. If 4 or more responses are seen in the first 39 patients then the study will expand to 60 patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Biochemical Response Rate

    Number of participants with 50% decline in serum PSA from baseline was pre-set as the primary measure of disease response.

    Measured: Patients were followed for a median of 315 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Pathologic Response

    Number of participants with either a 50% or greater decrease in proliferation index or a 50% or greater increase in apoptotic index

    Measured: Patients were followed for a median of 315 days

  2. Progression Free Survival

    Time in months from the start of study treatment to the date of first progression according to RECIST 1.0, or to death due to any cause. Patients alive who had not progressed as of the last follow-up had PFS censored at the last follow-up date. Median PFS was estimated using a Kaplan-Meier curve.

    Measured: Patients were followed for a median of 315 days, with the last patient censored at 1309 days.

  3. Molecular Response

    Functional extent of mTOR inhibition by changes in the phosphorylation status of pS6 in prostate tumors.

    Measured: Patients were followed for a median of 315 days

  4. Clinical Response

    The percentage of participants with a complete or partial response as defined by RECIST 1.0. Response Criteria are defined below:

    Complete Response: Disappearance of all target lesions Partial Response: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD Progressive Disease: At least a 20% increase in the sum of the LD of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum LD recorded since the treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions Stable Disease: Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for partial response nor sufficient increase to qualify for progressive disease, taking as reference the smallest sum LD

    Measured: Patients were followed for a median of 315 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing RAD001 in people with Hormone Refractory Prostate Cancer, run by Daniel George, MD 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 23 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 3 Mar 2015. 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 7 Feb 2013). 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?

Biochemical Response Rate (time frame: Patients were followed for a median of 315 days). 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 3 Mar 2015.
