About this study

Official title: A Study in Japan and Ex-Japan to Characterize the Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Response to Orteronel (TAK-700) in Chemotherapy-Naive Patients With Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiregional Phase1/2 study to characterize the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic responses to orteronel when administered concomitantly with prednisone in Chemotherapy-Naive Participants With Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

Read the detailed description

The drug being tested in this study is called orteronel. Orteronel is being tested to treat adult males who have adenocarcinoma of the prostate. This study will look at the pharmacokinetics (how the drug moves through the body) and pharmacodynamics (how the drug effects the body) in people who take orteronel in addition to prednisone.

The study will enroll approximately 144 patients. Participants will be randomly assigned (by chance, like flipping a coin) to one of the eight treatment groups (4 in Japan, 4 in Ex-Japan) which will remain undisclosed to the participant and study doctor during the study (unless there is an urgent medical need).

In Japan:

Participants were randomized in a ratio of 2:1:2:1

  • 200 mg orteronel or Placebo-matching orteronel [(dummy inactive pill) - this is a tablet that looks like the study drug but has no active ingredient] twice daily (BID) + prednisone
  • 300 mg orteronel, or Placebo-matching orteronel, BID + prednisone Ex-Japan Participants were randomized in a ratio of 2:1:2:1
  • 200 mg orteronel or Placebo-matching orteronel, BID in Cycle 1 + prednisone
  • 400 mg orteronel, or Placebo-matching orteronel ,BID in Cycle 1 + Prednisone

Participants initially randomized to placebo received 4 weeks of placebo and then 12 weeks of active treatment with orteronel then entered a follow-up period treatment period. Participants initially randomized to orteronel received 16 weeks of treatment then entered a follow-up treatment period.

This multi-centre trial will be conducted worldwide. The overall time to participate in this study is approximately 3.2 years. Participants will make multiple visits to the clinic and a final visit 30 to 40 days after receiving their last dose of study drug for a follow-up assessment.

    An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (eg, a clinically significant abnormal laboratory finding),symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a drug, whether or not it is considered related to the drug. A treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) is defined as an adverse event with an onset that occurs after receiving study A serious adverse event is any experience that suggests a significant hazard, contraindication, side effect or precaution that: results in death, is life-threatening, required in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect or is medically significant.

    Measured: From signing of the informed consent form through 30 days after the last dose of study drug, approximately 3.2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Orteronel and Prednisone in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 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 7 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 20 Mar 2018. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 20 Mar 2018). 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?

Percentage of Participants With Serum Testosterone Levels Reduced to ≤ 2 ng/dL After 4 Weeks of Treatment in Japan (time frame: Baseline and Week 4). 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 20 Mar 2018.
