About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial to Assess the Effect of Cinacalcet Hydrochloride on PSA Levels in Patients With Biochemically Recurrent Prostate Cancer After Failed Definitive Local Therapy

This phase II trial is studying how well cinacalcet hydrochloride works in treating men with recurrent prostate cancer. Cinacalcet hydrochloride may be effective in lowering prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels in patients with recurrent prostate cancer that has not responded to previous treatment

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To test the hypothesis that once-daily treatment with 30 mg of cinacalcet hydrochloride (Sensipar) will reduce the rate of rise of serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) compared to pre-treatment PSA values in subjects with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer after failed definitive local therapy.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive cinacalcet hydrochloride orally (PO) once daily (QD) for 20 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 4 weeks.

Being tested
laboratory biomarker analysis, quality-of-life assessment, questionnaire administration, cinacalcet hydrochloride

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of Rise of Serum PSA

    The difference of post treatment and pre-enrollment PSA.For those with multiple PSA measures post we use the median of those measures to estimate the participant's post PSA level.

    Measured: 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Change in Quality of Life (QOL) as Assessed by the Brief Male Sexual Inventory

    The Brief Male Sexual Inventory is an 11 question assessment including subscales: sex drive, erections, ejaculation. The scores are totaled to produce an overall score with a range of 1-45, with higher score indicating worse outcomes.

    Measured: Up to 20 weeks

  2. Change in Hormonal Assessment Scale From Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC)

    The Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC) is a comprehensive instrument designed to evaluate patient function and bother after prostate cancer treatment. Epic produces two scores, one for function (5 items) and the other for bother (6 items). The response for each item is standardized to a 0 to 100 scale. For both scales, higher scores indicate worse outcomes.

    Measured: up to 20 weeks

  3. Change in Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Prostate (FACT-P)

    The FACT-P is a multidimensional, self-report QoL instrument specifically designed for use with prostate cancer patients. It consists of 27 core items which assess patient function in four domains: Physical, Social/Family, Emotional, and Functional well-being, which is further supplemented by 12 site specific items to assess for prostate related symptoms. Each item is rated on a 0 to 4 Likert type scale, and then combined to produce subscale scores for each domain, as well as a global QoL score. All subscale items are summed to a total. The score range is 0-156. Higher scores represent better quality of life.

    Measured: up to 20 weeks

  4. Change in Total and Free Testosterone

    The detectable difference is estimated using a paired t-test approach. The lab measure will also be analyzed longitudinally using all measures with a mixed model approach adjusting for individual covariates.

    Measured: Up to 20 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing laboratory biomarker analysis, quality-of-life assessment and questionnaire administration in people with Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate and Recurrent Prostate Cancer, run by Wake Forest University Health Sciences 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 13 inclusion and 6 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 5 Jul 2018. 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 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 29 Oct 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?

Rate of Rise of Serum PSA (time frame: 24 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 5 Jul 2018.
