Trial summary

The current understanding of PR104 justifies the evaluation of PR104 with docetaxel in subjects with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). These include: Aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3). NSCLC has been shown to express high levels of AKR1C3 in about one half of tumors tested. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Randomized Phase II, Multi-Center, Open-Label Trial of PR104 and Docetaxel in Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

The current understanding of PR104 justifies the evaluation of PR104 with docetaxel in subjects with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). These include:

  • Aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3). NSCLC has been shown to express high levels of AKR1C3 in about one half of tumors tested. Subjects with high levels of AKR1C3 should have increased activation of PR104 within their tumor.
  • Hypoxia. NSCLC has been demonstrated to be a tumor with hypoxia based on both direct tumor measurements (oxygen electrodes) and hypoxic positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. Tumor hypoxia in NSCLC should be sufficient to activate PR104 to its active metabolites PR104H and PR104M.
  • Preclinical data. The use of docetaxel and PR104 alone and in combination in preclinical models demonstrates activity of PR104 as a single agent and supraadditive activity when PR104 and docetaxel are used in combination.
  • Manageable toxicity. PR104 and docetaxel with Granulocyte Colony-stimulating Factor (G-CSF) have been combined in a prior phase I study. A Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) has been identified and the major toxicities of this combination are understood.

The current study will provide an estimate of the activity of PR104 in subjects with NSCLC. This information will prove valuable in defining the future clinical development of PR104, and in determining if PR104 has sufficient activity in NSCLC to warrant a larger phase III registration study in this indication.

Primary objectives

  • Estimate the response rate (RR) of PR104/docetaxel

Secondary objectives

  • Evaluate survival
  • Evaluate progression free survival (PFS)
  • Evaluate time to progression (TTP)
  • Evaluate safety
  • Evaluate the pharmacokinetics of PR104 and its metabolites
  • Evaluate the pharmacokinetics of docetaxel
  • Evaluate the tumor hypoxia using 18F-fluoromisonidazole (18F-MISO) PET imaging
  • Collect diagnostic biopsy samples for the determination of AKR1C3
  • Collect plasma samples for assessment of potential biomarkers of tumor hypoxia
Read the detailed description

A randomized phase II, multi-center, open-label, study of docetaxel versus docetaxel/PR104.

Following informed consent, subjects will undergo baseline evaluation with history, physical exams, blood work and disease assessment. Selected subjects will undergo PET imaging with F18 fluoromisonidazole (F18-FMISO) and Fludeoxyglucose (FDG) for assessment of hypoxia and glucose metabolism, and pharmacokinetics of PR104.

Subjects will be randomized between arm 1 consisting of docetaxel, 75 mg/m^2, administered intravenously (IV), every 21 days (an approved dose and schedule) and arm 2 consisting of docetaxel, 60 mg/m^2 with PR104 at 770 mg/m^2, IV, every 21 days. Subjects randomized to PR104/docetaxel will receive prophylactic G-CSF. One cycle will be 21 days in duration. Subjects will be evaluated weekly. A disease assessment will be performed every six weeks. Subjects with progression will be removed from study. Subjects with a response or stable disease may continue on study if this is considered beneficial by their physician.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants That Achieved a Response (Complete or Partial) After Receiving PR104/Docetaxel Versus Docetaxel Alone

    Defined as the number of subjects with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria

    Measured: Participants were followed for the duration on study, an average of 4 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Safety and Tolerability: Serious Adverse Events

    The number of participants with at least one Serious Adverse Event was measured.

    Measured: 30 days following last administration of study treatment

  2. Positive Aldo-keto Reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3) Expression in Participating Patients

    AKR1C3 was evaluated on a semi-quantitative scale, and the percentage of cells staining at each of the following four levels was recorded: 0 (unstained), 1+ (weak staining), 2+ (moderate staining) and 3+ (strong staining).

    Patients with a strong staining score (3+) were considered to be AKR1C3 positive

    Measured: Within 1 year of enrollment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing PR104, docetaxel and Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor in people with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Proacta, Incorporated at 27 sites in 3 countries.

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 10 inclusion and 9 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 10 Jan 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 27 sites in United States, Canada, New Zealand. 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 10 Jan 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?

Number of Participants That Achieved a Response (Complete or Partial) After Receiving PR104/Docetaxel Versus Docetaxel Alone (time frame: Participants were followed for the duration on study, an average of 4 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 10 Jan 2013.
