About this study

Official title: ASP3550 Phase III Study - An Open-Label, Active-Controlled, Parallel-Arm Study, Comparing ASP3550 With Goserelin Acetate in Patients With Prostate Cancer -

To compare the efficacy and safety of ASP3550 to goserelin acetate in patients with prostate cancer.

Read the detailed description

This study consists of two parts. The purpose of PART 1 is to test non-inferiority of ASP3550 to goserelin acetate with respect to the cumulative castration rate in terms of serum testosterone when ASP3550 or goserelin acetate is administered for one-year in patients with prostate cancer.

The patients assigned to receive ASP3550 and completed the treatment in PART 1 are eligible for the treatment in PART 2, and will receive ASP3550 maintenance dose subcutaneously for additional term. The long-term safety, efficacy and PK of the continued ASP3550 treatment will be assessed in PART 2.

    Measured: Up to one year of the treatment

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Proportion of castrated subjects in terms of serum testosterone level

    Measured: Up to one year of the treatment

  2. Proportion of castrated subjects in terms of serum testosterone level

    Measured: Baseline and Days 3, 7, and 28

  3. Changes in serum levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) over time

    Measured: Up to one year of the treatment

  4. Safety assessed by the incidence of adverse events

    Measured: up to the end of treatment. approximately for 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing degarelix and Goserelin in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Astellas Pharma Inc at 8 sites in Japan.

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 31 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in Japan. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Cumulative castration rate of treatment in terms of serum testosterone level (time frame: Up to one year of the treatment). 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 NCT01964170, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 31 Oct 2024.
