What is being measured

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

  1. Progression Free Rate (PFR) at 12 Weeks

    PFR is defined as a composite endpoint for disease progression.

    If patients met one of the following criteria they were counted as having progressive disease (PD):

    • Prostate serum antigen (PSA) progression according to Prostate-Specific Antigen Working Group (PSAWG) criteria
    • Bone metastasis progression- development of new lesions on bone scan or development of disease-related skeletal related events (SREs)
    • Disease progression according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) version 1.0

    Measured: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. Progression Free Rate at 24 and 48 Weeks

    PFR is defined as a composite endpoint for disease progression.

    If patients met one of the following criteria they were counted as having progressive disease (PD):

    • Prostate serum antigen (PSA) progression according to Prostate-Specific Antigen Working Group (PSAWG) criteria
    • Bone metastasis progression- development of new lesions on bone scan or development of disease-related skeletal related events (SREs)
    • Disease progression according to RECIST version 1.0

    Measured: 24 weeks and 48 weeks

  2. Number of Patients Showing Prostate Serum Antigen (PSA) Response

    PSA response was evaluated according to the PSAWG guidelines. All patients achieving a fall in PSA of ≥50% from baseline (confirmed with a second value at least 4 weeks later) fulfilled the criteria for PSA response. The confirmatory value had to be at least 50% lower than the baseline value, but could be higher than the original drop in PSA (first PSA value).

    However, the confirmatory value could not be 50% higher than the first PSA value. If it was ≥50% higher than the first PSA, another sample was taken to determine if response had been achieved.

    Measured: End of trial visit, 29 ± 1 days after Day 1 of the last treatment cycle (Up to 48 weeks)

  3. Duration of PSA Response

    Duration of PSA response was calculated from the time of first 50% decline in PSA (compared to baseline) until the time at which there was an increase of 50% from the PSA nadir, provided that the absolute increase was at least 5 ng/mL. The increase had to be confirmed by a second consecutive measurement that was at least 50% above the nadir. If the PSA never showed a 50% increase over the nadir value, then the patient was censored at the last PSA measurement.

    Duration of PSA response expressed in median number of days.

    Measured: End of trial visit, 29 ± 1 days after Day 1 of the last treatment cycle (Up to 48 weeks)

  4. Time to PSA Progression

    Time to PSA progression through 48 weeks was calculated as the number of days from first administration of study drug to the first time that there was an increase of 50% from the PSA nadir, provided the absolute increase was at least 5 ng/mL.

    Time is expressed in median number of days.

    Measured: Start of treatment until end of treatment (Up to 48 weeks)

  5. RECIST Tumour Progression Rate at 12, 24, 36, and 48 Weeks

    RECIST (version 1.0) tumour progression rate at 12, 24, 36, and 48 weeks was calculated based on the occurrence of new lesions, or an increase in the sum of the longest lesion diameters of at least 20%.

    Measured: 12, 24, 36, and 48 weeks

  6. Overall Objective Response by RECIST Criteria (Version 1.0) (Complete Response [CR] or Partial Response [PR]) for Patients With Measurable Disease at 12, 24, 36 and 48 Weeks

    Objective response is defined as a Complete or Partial response Complete response [CR] for Target lesions: Disappearance of all target lesions. Complete response [CR] for Non- target lesions: Disappearance of all non-target lesions and normalization of tumour marker level Partial Response (PR): At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum LD.

    Measured: 12, 24, 36 and 48 weeks

  7. Duration of RECIST Response

    Time from first observation of response (PR, CR, confirmed or unconfirmed) until progression according to RECIST (version 1.0) or death.

    Duration is expressed in Median number of days.

    Measured: Up to 48 weeks

  8. Time to Progression

    Time from first administration of study drug until disease progression according to composite endpoint.

    Time is expressed in Median number of days.

    Measured: start of treatment until end of the treatment (Up to 48 weeks)

  9. Overall Survival (Time to Death)

    Overall survival (time to death) was calculated in days from baseline to the date of reporting of death. Time is expressed in Median number of days.

    Measured: start of treatment until 28 days after end of treatment (Up to 52 weeks)

  10. Incidence and Worst Intensity of Adverse Events With Grading According CTCAE

    Incidence and worst intensity of Adverse Events with grading according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE version 3.0).

    Measured: from first intake of treatment until 29 days after last intake of treatment (Up to 52 weeks)

  11. Changes in Safety Laboratory Parameters

    Changes in safety laboratory Parameters reported as adverse events

    Measured: from first intake of treatment until 29 days after last intake of treatment (Up to 52 weeks)

  12. Trough Plasma Concentrations for BIBF 1120 and BIBW 2992 for the Monotherapy

    Trough plasma concentrations are defined either as pre-dose concentration of BIBF 1120 and BIBW 2992 in plasma at steady state immediately before administration of the next dose for the monotherapy treatment or as post dose concentrations taken after the dosing interval for the combination treatment

    Measured: Day 15, Day 29 and Day 57

  13. Trough Plasma Concentrations for BIBF 1120 and BIBW 2992 for the Combination Therapy

    Trough plasma concentrations are defined either as pre-dose concentration of BIBF 1120 and BIBW 2992 in plasma at steady state immediately before administration of the next dose for the monotherapy treatment or as post dose concentrations taken after the dosing interval for the combination treatment (C12,14 for BIBF1120 ; C24,7 and C24,14 for BIBW2992)

    C12,14: plasma concentration at 12 hours Day 14

    Measured: Day7, Day 14

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing BIBF 1120, BIBW 2992 and Sequential BIBF 1120 + BIBW 2992 in people with Prostatic Neoplasms, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 9 sites in United Kingdom.

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 20 inclusion and 17 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 15 Jan 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in United Kingdom. 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 15 Jan 2015). 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?

Progression Free Rate (PFR) at 12 Weeks (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 15 Jan 2015.
