About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Trial of Post-Prostatectomy Radiation Therapy, Hormonal Therapy and Concurrent Docetaxel for High Risk Pathologic T2-T3NO (Tumor-3, Node-0) Prostate Cancer

Following a radical prostatectomy and lymph node sampling, eligible patients will undergo post-operative radiation therapy, concurrent weekly docetaxel chemotherapy , and hormonal therapy (Casodex daily and Zoladex every 3 months for 2 times or Lupron 22.5 mg im every 3 months for 2 times).

Read the detailed description

After consent, laboratory and radiologic tests will be done and a baseline questionnaire will be completed. Participants will then be started on the protocol specific hormonal therapy for a total of 6 months. After 2 months of hormone therapy the participants will begin radiation therapy and concurrent docetaxel chemotherapy treatments.

The radiation therapy will be delivered to a total dose of 66.0 Gy at 2.0 Gy/fraction (fx) once daily over 7 weeks, using either a 3-D conformal technique and/or intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT).

Participants will receive docetaxel once a week for a total of 7 infusions with concurrent radiation therapy treatments. The weekly dose of docetaxel will be 20 mg/m2. Docetaxel will be given as an intravenous (IV) infusion over 30 minutes within ≤6 hours prior to the radiotherapy treatments.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Docetaxel, Radiation Therapy and Casodex and Zoladex (or Lupron) in people with Prostate Cancer, run by University of Kansas Medical Center 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 36 inclusion and 7 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 24 Jul 2019. 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 combined 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.

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 Jul 2019). 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?

Percentage of Patients Who Can Safely Tolerate and Complete Adjuvant Hormonal Therapy, Radiation Therapy and Docetaxel After a Radical Prostatectomy (time frame: 8 Months). 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 24 Jul 2019.
