About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Open Label, Multicenter, Phase II Trial Comparing The Conventional 3 Weekly Schedule Of Cabazitaxel With A Weekly Regimen In Patients With Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer

Cabazitaxel has shown significant efficacy as second line chemotherapy after Docetaxel in men with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer. This was demonstrated in the Tropic Study where Cabazitaxel showed survival superiority compared to mitoxantrone. Almost one in 4 patients treated with Cabazitaxel in this study required dose reductions or dose delays or stopped treatment due to toxicity. ConCab examines another scheduling for cabazitaxel to see if we can improve tolerability so that patients will receive a higher percentage of the treatment as planned.

Read the detailed description

ConCab compares the standard treatment of cabazitaxel 25 mg/m2 every three weeks with an experimental scheduling of 10 mg/m2 for 5 consecutive weeks of a 6 week cycle. In both study arms the planned cumulative dose of cabazitaxel at week 18 is 150 mg/m2. Our study aims to evaluate differences in the total received dose in relation to the planned dose as a measure of which of the 2 treatment schedules is superior.

What is being measured

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

  1. Relative cumulative dose of cabazitaxel at week 18

    The primary endpoint compares the cumulative dose of cabazitaxel that is received relative to the planned dose at 18 weeks of therapy. The cumulative dose of cabazitaxel in relation to the expected dose is a reflection of both tolerability and efficacy. Patients stopping treatment due to disease progression prior to week 18 will have lower relative cumulative doses as will patients with poor tolerability due to dose reductions and delays.

    Measured: week 18 after start of treatment

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Overall Survival

    Overall survival is defined as the length of time from randomization to death from any cause

    Measured: when the last enrolled patient has completed 18 weeks of therapy or has stopped therapy at an earlier date

  2. Progression free survival

    Progression free survival is defined as the length of time from randomisation to the first documentation of one of the following: PSA progression or pain progression or death due to any cause or radiological disease progression

    Measured: when the last enrolled patient has completed 18 weeks of therapy or has stopped therapy at an earlier date

  3. PSA Response

    Only considered after 12 weeks of treatment. PSA response is defined as a 50% or greater decline in serum PSA from baseline given that baseline PSA is at least 10 ng/ml

    Measured: when the last enrolled patient has completed 18 weeks of therapy or has stopped therapy at an earlier date

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Cabazitaxel and weekly cabazitaxel in people with Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer, run by Jeffrey Yachnin M.D., PhD. at 1 site in Sweden.

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 8 inclusion and 29 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 2 Nov 2015. 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 Sweden. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Relative cumulative dose of cabazitaxel at week 18 (time frame: week 18 after start of treatment). 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 2 Nov 2015.
