About this study

Official title: Phase II, Open Label, Dose Finding Study of the Effect of GTx-758 on Total and Free Testosterone Levels in Men With Prostate Cancer Compared to a Luteinizing Hormone Releasing Hormone Agonist

The purpose of this study is to determine whether GTx 758 is effective in achieving and maintaining castrate testosterone levels in men with advanced prostate cancer.

Read the detailed description

Prostate cancer is one of the most frequently diagnosed noncutaneous cancers among men in the US and is the second most common cause of cancer deaths. Patients with advanced prostate cancer undergo androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), by either LHRH agonists, LHRH antagonists, DES and other nonselective estrogens, or by bilateral orchiectomy. ADT by LHRH agonists, LHRH antagonists, or bilateral orchiectomy not only reduces testosterone, but also substantially lowers estrogen levels as estrogen is derived from the aromatization of testosterone. ADT-induced estrogen deficiency causes significant side effects which include hot flushes, gynecomastia, bone loss, decreases in bone quality and strength, osteoporosis and life-threatening fractures, adverse lipid changes, increase in body fat composition, and higher cardiovascular disease and myocardial infarction, and depression and other mood changes.

GTx-758 is a nonsteroidal selective ER agonist that suppresses LH secretion by the pituitary by feedback inhibition of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis to induce castrate levels of testosterone. However, because it is a selective ER agonist, GTx-758 may maintain bone, does not induce hot flushes, avoids adverse lipid changes and body fat composition changes, and does not have the acute testosterone surge that are associated with other forms of ADT.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing GTx-758 1000mg, Lupron Depot and GTx-758 2000mg in people with Prostate Cancer, run by GTx at 36 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 9 inclusion and 15 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 22 Jun 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 36 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Jun 2023). 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 Who Are Castrate by Day 60 (time frame: 60 days). 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 22 Jun 2023.
