What is being measured

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

  1. Response rate over 50% in PSA

    Measured: every 3 weeks up to end of treatment and every month until PSA progression

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Time to treatment failure

    Measured: from Informed Consent signature up to end of the study

  2. Time to progression

    Measured: from Informed Consent signature up to study end

  3. Overall and specific cause surveillance

    Measured: from Informed Consent signature up to study end

  4. Toxicity profile

    Measured: from Informed Consent signature up to study end

  5. Patients' Quality of Life

    Measured: Before first cycle, every 2 cycles throughout the treatment period, at the study end and first follow-up visit

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Docetaxel + Estramustine + Hydrocortisone and Docetaxel + Prednisone in people with Prostatic Neoplasms, run by Sanofi at 1 site in Spain.

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 6 inclusion and 10 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 30 Nov 2010. 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 Spain. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 was stopped early (reason given: low recruitment rate). 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?

Response rate over 50% in PSA (time frame: every 3 weeks up to end of treatment and every month until PSA progression). 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 30 Nov 2010.
