About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of NRX 194204 in Castration- and Taxane-Resistant Prostate Cancer

This study is to evaluate the benefits of investigational drug, NRX 194204 in slowing down/stopping/reversing progression of the castration resistant and taxane resistant prostate cancer.

Read the detailed description

Numerous studies in pre-clinical models and in human clinical trials have clearly established the potential for the use of rexinoids in the treatment and prevention of cancer. NRX 194204, a second generation rexinoid, is a highly potent and specific activator of RXRs (retinoid X receptors). Because NRX 194204 is significantly more selective for the RXRs relative to the RARs (retinoic acid receptors) than a first generation approved drug, it is associated with fewer adverse events in clinical use. This study seeks to investigate NRX 194204 monotherapy in patients with castration- and taxane- resistant prostate cancer.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • NRX 194204Drug

    Also called Rexinoid

    NRX 194204 is an oblong, soft, gelatin capsule and will be taken once a day

Study groups in NCT01540071
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
NRX 194204ExperimentalThis was a single arm open-label study. All patients enrolled received 20 mg of IRX4204 per day orally, for six months, or longer if the patient had disease stabilization and was tolerating the experimental treatment.
Receives: Drug: NRX 194204

What is being measured

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

  1. Clinical Benefit of NRX 194204 in Men With Castration- and Taxane-resistant Metastatic Prostate Cancer

    Clinical benefit will be defined as either non-progression at 8 weeks or radiologic and/or PSA response at any time point with no dose limiting toxicity (DLT) or other toxicity requiring termination of treatment.

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of treatment and follow up, which is up to 2.5 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Overall Survival

    Overall Survival [Time Frame: participants will be followed for the duration of treatment and follow up, which is up to 2.5 years]

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of treatment and follow up, which is up to 2.5 years

  2. Time to Disease Progression

    Time to Disease Progression was evaluated according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guidelines, version 1.1. Progression was defined as at least a 20% relative increase and an absolute increase of at least 5mm; or appearance of new lesions.

    Measured: participants were to be followed for the duration of treatment and follow up; for up to 2.5 years from baseline

  3. Number of Grade 3 and Higher Adverse Events Deemed at Least Possibly Related to NRX 194204

    Number of Grade 3 and higher Adverse Events deemed at least possibly related to NRX 194204

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of treatment and follow up, which is up to 2.5 years

  4. PSA Response Rate

    Prostate specific Antigen (PSA) response rate based on 50% reduction from baseline PSA

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of treatment and follow up, which is up to 2.5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing NRX 194204 in people with Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer, run by Io Therapeutics 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 6 inclusion and 8 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 14 May 2021. 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 14 May 2021). 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?

Clinical Benefit of NRX 194204 in Men With Castration- and Taxane-resistant Metastatic Prostate Cancer (time frame: participants will be followed for the duration of treatment and follow up, which is up to 2.5 years). 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 14 May 2021.
