About this study
Official title: A Phase 2 Study of OSI-906 in Patients With Asymptomatic or Mildly Symptomatic (Non-Opioid Requiring) Metastatic Castrate Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC)
This phase II trial studies how well linsitinib works in treating patients with asymptomatic or mild symptomatic metastatic prostate cancer. Linsitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
Read the detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
- To evaluate time to prostate-specific antigen (PSA) progression based on Prostate Cancer Working Group (PCWG2) criteria.
II. To evaluate PSA response (proportion of patients achieving a PSA decline > 50% according to PCWG2 criteria in patients receiving linsitinib [OSI-906]).
III. To evaluate overall response rate (ORR) in patients with Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)-defined measurable disease receiving OSI-906.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
- To evaluate the effect of OSI-906 on time-to opiate use for cancer pain. II. To evaluate the effect of OSI-906 on radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) of patients with asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic (non-opioid requiring) castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).
III. To evaluate the overall survival (OS) of patients with asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic (non-opioid requiring) CRPC receiving OSI-906.
IV. To further evaluate the safety of OSI-906 in patients with asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic (non-opioid requiring) CRPC.
TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:
- To describe the effects of OSI-906 in the levels of androstenedione, dehydroepiandrostenedione (DHEA), DHEA-sulfate, p insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-IR), and p-insulin receptor (IR). (Exploratory) II. To describe the effects of OSI-906 in the levels of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta (b1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha (a), and monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1) as markers of metastatic progression. (Exploratory) III. To describe the effects of OSI-906 on the number of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and endothelial cells (CECs). (Exploratory) IV. To use ribonucleic acid (RNA) extracted from CTCs to evaluate effects on downstream targets of IGF-1R signaling after OSI-906 treatment. (Exploratory) V. To measure the effect of OSI-906 on the expression of IGF-1R on CTCs. (Exploratory)
OUTLINE:
Patients receive linsitinib orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo serum and plasma sample collection at baseline, on day 1 of courses 2 and 4, and after completion of study treatment for correlative studies.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 1 year, every 6 months for 2 years, and then annually thereafter.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
PSA Response Analyzed Using the PCWG2 Definition
Number of patients with a PSA Response will be evaluated according to the recommendations from National Cancer Institute Prostate-Cancer Working Group 2 (PCWG2) criteria. PSA decline of at least 50% from baseline confirmed by a second measurement at least 4 weeks later.
Measured: 12 weeks
Secondary outcomes (5)
Incidence of Toxicities Based on CTCAE Version 4.0 Criteria
Number of patients with at least possibly related to treatment toxicities grade 3 or higher based on Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events.
Measured: Up to 2 years
Number of Patients With Bidimensional Measurable Disease RECIST-based Response
RECIST response categories: Progressive disease (PD): >=20% increase in sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesion(s), taking as reference smallest sum LD recorded since treatment started. Complete response (CR): disappearance of all target lesions. Partial response (PR): >=30% decrease in sum of LD of target lesion(s), taking as reference baseline sum LD. Stable disease (SD): neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify as PR nor sufficient increase to qualify as PD.
Measured: Up to 2 years
Time to PSA Progression (TTPP) Analyzed Using the PCWG2 Definition
TTPP will be measured from protocol registration to appearance of PSA progression as defined by the criteria of the PSA Working Group response criteria. The end point for progression will be calculated at the time a 25% increase in PSA has been achieved.
Measured: assessed up to 12 weeks
Overall Survival Based on the RECIST v1.1
The duration of overall response is measured from the time measurement criteria are met for CR or PR (whichever is first recorded) until the first date that recurrent or progressive disease is objectively documented (taking as reference for progressive disease the smallest measurements recorded since the treatment started).
Measured: Up to 2 years
Progression Free Survival
Progression Free survival (PFS) time was measured as the time from the date of on study up to the date of occurrence of the first event defining a disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurred first.
Measured: assessed up to 2 years

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing linsitinib and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate and Hormone-resistant Prostate Cancer, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 2 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 49 inclusion and 0 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 13 Mar 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 2 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 13 Mar 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?
PSA Response Analyzed Using the PCWG2 Definition (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 NCT01533246, 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 13 Mar 2015.
