  • True abstinence: When this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.
  • Sterilization: Female partners have had surgical bilateral oophorectomy (with or without hysterectomy) or tubal ligation at least six weeks ago. In case of oophorectomy alone, only when the reproductive status of the woman has been confirmed by follow up hormone level assessment.

About this study

Official title: A Pharmacodynamic Study of Pre-prostatectomy BKM120 in Men With High-risk, Localized Prostate Cancer

This is a phase II, study of BKM120 in patients with high-risk, localized prostate cancer. Eligible patients will be enrolled and scheduled to have an ultrasound-guided biopsy of the prostate to confirm high-risk disease and collect prostate tissue for analysis. Two weeks after the biopsy, patients will begin taking 100 mg/day of BKM120. BKM120 will be given at this dose level orally once daily for 14 days prior to radical prostatectomy at University of California, San Francisco. Radical prostatectomy will be performed on the day of the last dose of BKM120 at day 14. No further drug will be tken after the radical prostatectomy.

Read the detailed description

This is a phase II, prospective, pharmacodynamic study of BKM120 in high-risk, localized prostate cancer. After informed consent and central pathology review of the core prostate biopsy, eligible patients will be enrolled and scheduled to have an ultrasound-guided biopsy of the prostate to confirm high-risk disease and collect tissue for molecular analysis. Two weeks after the biopsy, patients will begin taking 100 mg/day of BKM120. BKM120 will be given at this dose level orally once daily for 14 days prior to radical prostatectomy at University of California, San Francisco. Radical prostatectomy will be performed on the day of the last dose of BKM120 at day 14. No further drug will be administered after radical prostatectomy.

Up to 24 patients, or 21 evaluable patients, will be enrolled through the Department of Urology or Genitourinary Medical Oncology at the University of California, San Francisco for this pharmacodynamic study. Toxicity will be assessed during BKM120 administration, and will involve a clinic visit on Day 14 ± 2 (i.e. before surgery). Follow-up with safety evaluations will be at 90 ± 7 days post-operatively and involve a toxicity questionnaire, blood tests, and clinic visit. Toxicity will be monitored and reported using NCI Common Toxicity Criteria version 4.0 guidelines.

A patient symptom diary will be distributed to each patient at baseline for symptom self-recording and BKM120 dose self-administration. In addition, a patient identifier card (wallet-sized) will be distributed to each patient after informed consent and registration. This information will contain the patient's age, study name and number, investigator and study coordinator contact information, and expected adverse events that may be present as a result of BKM120 administration.

What participants receive

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

  • BKM120Drug

    Also called Buparlisib

    Two weeks after confirmatory biopsy, patients will begin taking 100 mg/day of BKM120. BKM120 will be given at this dose level orally once daily for 14 days prior to radical prostatectomy. Radical prostatectomy will be performed on the day of the last dose of BKM120 at day 14. No further drug will be administered after radical prostatectomy. For unforeseen delays in OR scheduling, up to 7 additional days of BKM120 may be administered prior to surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Decrease in Phosphorylated S6 Immunohistochemistry (ICH) From Baseline

    Percentage of men with downstream target inhibition of PI3K in prostate tumor tissue as measured by phosphorylated S6 immunohistochemistry (ICH) when treated with 100 mg/day of BKM120 using paired tumor biopsies from before and after drug administration and defined as ≥ 60% decrease in phosphorylated S6 (pS6) from baseline by Immunohistochemistry (IHC).

    Measured: Up to 3 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Percentage of Participants With Decrease in 4E-binding protein1 (p4EBP1) Protein Phosphorylation From Baseline

    Percentage of men with downstream target inhibition of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) in prostate tumor tissue as measured by 4E-binding protein1 (4EBP1) protein phosphorylation immunohistochemistry (IHC) using paired tumor biopsies from before and after drug administration and defined as >= 60% decline in p4EBP1 IHC

    Measured: Up to 3 months

  2. Percentage of Participants With Decrease in AKT Protein From Baseline

    Proportion of men with downstream target inhibition of PI3K in prostate tumor tissue as measured by Protein kinase B (pAKT) IHC determined by a >= 60% decline in pAKT IHC

    Measured: Up to 3 months

  3. Number of Participants Displaying Activity of Short Term BKM120 Administration

    Activity of short term BKM120 administration in prostate cancer was determined by measured PSA response immediately prior to radical prostatectomy

    Measured: 1 Day, immediately prior to surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing BKM120 in people with High Risk Prostate Cancer, run by Won Kim 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 28 inclusion and 35 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 13 Jan 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 13 Jan 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?

Percentage of Participants With Decrease in Phosphorylated S6 Immunohistochemistry (ICH) From Baseline (time frame: Up to 3 months). 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 13 Jan 2021.
