Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 65 to 99 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate without neuroendocrine differentiation or small cell features.
  • Patients with systemic prostate cancer as defined by either a) hormonal naïve metastatic prostate cancer with radiographic evidence of visceral or osseous metastasis or b) biochemical recurrence prostate cancer that fulfills all of the following criteria:
  • A minimum of three rising prostatic-specific antigen levels with an interval of =/> 1 week between each test, The prostatic-specific antigen (PSA) value at the screening visit should be =/> 2 ng/ml prostatic-specific antigen doubling time ≤ 9 months.
  • Patients should be 65 years or older. Patients who are deemed "not fit" by comprehensive geriatric assessment or at high risk for side effects as determined by the treating physician.

Who cannot join

  • Severe concurrent disease or infection that, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for enrollment.

  • Clinically significant cardiovascular disease including:
  • Myocardial infarction within 6 months, Uncontrolled angina within 3 months, Congestive heart failure New York Heart Association class 3 or 4, or patients with history of congestive heart failure NYHA class 3 or 4 in the past, unless a screening echocardiogram or multigated acquisition scan performed within 3 months results in a left ventricular ejection fraction that is =/> 45%, hypotension (systolic blood pressure < 86 millimeters of mercury [mmHg] or bradycardia with a heart rate < 50 beats per minute, uncontrolled hypertension as indicated by a resting systolic blood pressure of 170 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure > 105 mmHg at the Screening or Study Day 1 visit.
  • Gastrointestinal disorder affecting absorption (e.g., gastrectomy, active peptic ulcer within last 3 months).
  • Major surgery within 4 weeks prior to enrollment (Day 1 visit). Absolute neutrophil count < 1,500/µL, platelet count < 100,000/µL, and hemoglobin < 5.6 mmol/L (9 g/dL) at the Screening visit; (NOTE: patients may not have received any growth factors or blood transfusions within 7 days of the hematologic laboratory values obtained at the Screening visit).

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Enzalutamide Plus Dutasteride/Finasteride as First Line Treatment for Vulnerable Patients ≥ 65 Years With Systemic Prostate Cancer

Determine the effect of enzalutamide and dutasteride or finasteride on the time to prostatic-specific antigen level increase in patients age 65 or older.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of enzalutamide and dutasteride or finasteride on the time to prostatic-specific antigen progression in patients aged 65 or older receiving this combination as first line treatment for systemic prostate cancer.

To determine the safety and toxicities of the study drug combination.

To determine the time to prostatic-specific antigen nadir from the start of study treatment and to evaluate the absolute prostatic-specific antigen nadir as a result of the study drug combination

What is being measured

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

  1. Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Progression Free Survival

    Percentage of participants with progression-free survival at 3 years. PSA disease progression is defined as an increase in the PSA that is >=25% and >=2 ng/ml above the nadir PSA value.

    Measured: 3 years.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Absolute PSA Response

    Lowest PSA value achieved.

    Measured: up to approximately 8 years

  2. Time to PSA Nadir

    Time (months) to achieve the lowest PSA value compared to baseline PSA level

    Measured: up to approximately 8 years

  3. Number of Participants Who Experience a Treatment-related Adverse Events.

    Adverse events will be defined according to CTCAE version 4.0.

    Measured: up to approximately 8 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Enzalutamide and Dutasteride or finasteride in people with Prostate Cancer, run by University of Rochester at 2 sites 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 7 inclusion and 17 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 13 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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 Nov 2024). 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?

Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Progression Free Survival (time frame: 3 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 13 Nov 2024.
