About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind, Phase 3 Study Evaluating the Pain Palliation Benefit of Adding Custirsen to a Taxane for Second-Line Chemotherapy in Men With Castrate Resistance Prostate Cancer

The purpose of this study is to determine if the addition of study drug (custirsen) can provide durable pain palliation for castrate resistant prostate cancer patients receiving docetaxel retreatment or cabazitaxel as a second line therapy.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter, international trial enrolling patients with metastatic CRPC who had a response to first-line docetaxel therapy and have prostate cancer-related pain with progression of disease. The intended intervention is second-line treatment with docetaxel retreatment or cabazitaxel plus study agent, where custirsen is to be administered in the investigational arm and placebo is to be administered in the control arm.

Selection of the chemotherapy (docetaxel re-treatment or cabazitaxel) is to be determined by the treating physician, based on the patient's first-line response.

The study will primarily assess pain and analgesic use for evaluation of durable pain palliation in response to study treatment. Pain and analgesic use will be obtained via a 3rd party contact center (direct contact with patient).

Study treatment starts with a Loading Dose Period during which three infusions of study agent (custirsen vs. placebo) will be administered. Following the Loading Dose Period, study treatment will consist of docetaxel or cabazitaxel on a 21-day cycle with weekly study agent (custirsen vs. placebo) infusions on Day 1, 8 and 15 of each 21-day cycle and oral prednisone BID.

Patients will continue study treatment until pain progression, unacceptable toxicity, completion of 10 cycles or other specific criteria for withdrawal identified in the protocol. If study treatment is completed or discontinued prior to pain progression, 6-day assessments will continue every 3 weeks until pain progression is documented. Follow-up after study treatment will occur for safety parameters for 3 weeks after the last study agent infusion in all patients. Survival status updates are to be reported every 12 weeks following documentation of pain progression. The amount of time that patients remain on the study will vary; but the average survival of these patients who receive second line taxane treatment is expected to be 14 to 15 months.

Being tested
custirsen sodium, isotonic, 0.9% sodium chloride, docetaxel, cabazitaxel, prednisone

What is being measured

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

  1. To ascertain whether the investigational arm has a greater proportion of patients with durable pain palliation as compared to the control arm.

    Measured: 3 to 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. To ascertain whether patients randomized to the investigational arm have a longer time to pain progression as compared to patients randomized to the control arm.

    Measured: 6 months.

  2. Safety

    Comparison of treatment arms with respect to the incidence of serious adverse events and the incidence of grade 3 or higher adverse events.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing custirsen sodium, isotonic, 0.9% sodium chloride and docetaxel in people with Castrate-Resistant Prostate Cancer and Hormone Refractory Prostate Cancer, run by Achieve Life Sciences at 33 sites in 5 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 16 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 12 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 33 sites in United States, Spain, France, Canada, 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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: Unable to enroll due to criteria for stable baseline pain). 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?

To ascertain whether the investigational arm has a greater proportion of patients with durable pain palliation as compared to the control arm. (time frame: 3 to 6 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 12 Oct 2016.
