Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether combination treatment of prostate cancer with IMC-A12 (an antibody which blocks insulin-like growth factor receptor activity) with hormonal therapy (testosterone lowering) before prostatectomy, will be more effective than prior results with hormonal therapy alone.

About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Neoadjuvant IMC-A12 Combined With Androgen Deprivation Prior to Prostatectomy

The purpose of this study is to determine whether combination treatment of prostate cancer with IMC-A12 (an antibody which blocks insulin-like growth factor receptor activity) with hormonal therapy (testosterone lowering) before prostatectomy, will be more effective than prior results with hormonal therapy alone.

Read the detailed description

Androgen deprivation has long been the principal means of controlling advanced prostate cancer, but it does not cure the disease and all patients ultimately progress if tumor is not eliminated with definitive local therapy. Neoadjuvant androgen deprivation prior to radical prostatectomy can downstage localized disease and reduce the likelihood of residual disease at the margins, but does not improve failure free survival. It has been demonstrated that despite androgen deprivation with luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) agonists or orchiectomy, prostate tissue and prostate cancer maintain levels of androgens which are more than adequate to continue to stimulate the androgen receptor and downstream signaling. These levels of androgen may continue to allow both survival of tumor cells and induction of resistance by overexpression of receptor.

The anti-insulin-like growth factor type I receptor (IGF-IR) antibody IMC-A12 blocks translocation of the androgen receptor to the nucleus, dramatically augmenting efficacy of androgen deprivation in human prostate xenograft models. The combination of androgen deprivation with IMC-A12 is anticipated to more effectively treat cancer within the prostate, optimizing local control, while potentially eliminating micrometastatic disease. We propose to test this hypothesis in this phase II study, administering neoadjuvant androgen deprivation therapy IMC-A12 prior to radical prostatectomy for patients with clinically localized, high risk prostate cancer for 3 months.

Patients with clinically localized, and surgically resectable (cT1-T3) prostate cancer, at high risk for relapse who are candidates for radical prostatectomy will be treated with LHRH agonist and androgen receptor antagonist combined with IMC-A12, 10 mg/kg given intravenously every 14 days for 12 weeks. Patients will undergo biopsy of the prostate prior to treatment and radical prostatectomy 12 weeks after initiation of treatment.

The primary endpoint of the study is to evaluate the ability of LHRH agonist with IMC-A12 to induce a complete pathologic remission

Samples from the current study will be compared to control, untreated prostatectomy specimens from the Northwest Prostate SPORE Tissue Core and a concurrent set of specimens from patients treated with 12 weeks of combined androgen deprivation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing IMC-A12, Bicalutamide and Goserelin in people with Prostate Cancer, run by University of Washington at 3 sites 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 2 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 29 Mar 2017. 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 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?

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?

The primary endpoint of the study is to determine the effects of combining androgen deprivation with IMC-A12 on pathologic tumor stage (pathologic complete response). (time frame: At the time of prostatectomy after 3 months of treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00769795, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 29 Mar 2017.
