About this study

Official title: Phase II Single Agent Study of Selinexor (KPT-330) in Patients With Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC) and Prior Therapy With Abiraterone and/or Enzalutamide

This phase II trial studies selinexor in treating patients with prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic), keeps growing even when the amount of testosterone in the body is reduced to very low levels (castration-resistant), and did not respond to treatment (refractory) with abiraterone acetate and/or enzalutamide. Selinexor may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To describe radiographic progression free survival (rPFS) associated with selinexor in patients with abiraterone (abiraterone acetate) refractory metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To measure prostate-specific antigen (PSA) changes at 12 weeks post-selinexor initiation.

II. To assess time to PSA progression. III. To measure time to development of >= 2 new bone lesions. IV. To compare the relationship of abiraterone-resistance status (primary vs acquired) and treatment outcome.

  1. To determine the effect of selinexor on persistent pain associated with bone metastasis using the brief pain inventory (BPI) short form.

VI. To describe the safety profile of selinexor in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

VII. To determine the effect of selinexor on circulating leukocyte exportin 1 (XPO-1) expression, leukocyte gene expression profile and macrophage inhibitory cytokine-1 (MIC-1) messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) expression.

VIII. To assess serum selinexor trough levels as a function of dose and time since last dose.

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To describe the relationship of XPO-1 expression to PSA decline. II. To describe the expression profile of metastatic tumor and outcome. III. To describe the type of progression (e.g. pain, bone etc). IV. To define XPO-1 expression in patients for whom pre- and post-treatment biopsy is obtained.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive selinexor orally (PO) on days 1 and 3 of weeks 1-3. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 30 days and then every 6 months thereafter.

What is being measured

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

  1. Radiographic Progression Free Survival (rPFS)

    Defined as the time from study start until one of the following events occurs: >= 2 new bone lesions on technetium bone scan; Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)-defined tumor progression; clinical deterioration requiring a change in prostate cancer therapy, or at clinician discretion; surgery or radiation to treat a prostate cancer related indication; or death from any cause.

    Measured: From study start up to 3 years

Secondary outcomes (9)

  1. Abiraterone Resistance Status (Primary Versus Acquired)

    Comparison of radiographic progression free survival between patients with primary abiraterone resistance and acquired abiraterone resistance using a Cox proportional hazards model.

    Measured: At baseline

  2. Time to PSA Progression

    Time between the first evaluation at which the response criteria are met and the first documentation of PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) progression or death. Progression is defined as a rise in PSA of 50% above nadir value or 25% above baseline if there is no decline.

    Measured: Time between the first evaluation at which the response criteria are met and the first documentation of PSA progression or death or up to 3 years

  3. Incidence of Non-serious Adverse Events

    Incidence of non-serious adverse events, graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0

    Measured: Up to 3 years after treatment start

  4. Comparison of Leukocyte Exportin 1 (XPO-1) and Macrophage Inhibitory Cytokine-1 (MIC-1) Gene Expression Levels Pre- and Post-Selinexor Treatment

    Total RNA isolated from leukocytes of patients will be used for quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis (qPCR) in order to compare expression levels of XPO-1 and MIC-1 as a function of selinexor dose and total time on treatment.

    Measured: On days 1 and 15 of course 1 and on day 1 of courses 2 and 3

  5. PSA Decline of ≥50% at 12 Weeks Post Therapy Initiation

    The number of patients experiencing a PSA decline from baseline of at least 50% in PSA at 12 weeks following the initiation of study therapy.

    Measured: At 12 weeks post therapy initiation

  6. Reduction in Pain for Symptomatic Patients, Measured Using the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), Short Form

    The effect of selinexor on persistent pain associated with bone metastasis, measured using the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI), Short Form. 0 denotes ''no pain'' and 10, ''pain as bad as you can imagine".

    Measured: At baseline and day 1 of every following cycle until end of treatment or 3 years after study start

  7. Serum Selinexor Levels

    Serum selinexor trough levels as a function of dose and time since last dose

    Measured: At day 1 of course 1, each treatment day until end of treatment up to 3 years

  8. Time to Confirmed Development of >= 2 New Bone Lesions That Cannot be Attributable to Bone Scan Flare

    Defined as time interval between the date of treatment initiation and the date of documented new lesions. Evaluation criteria is defined by the PSAWG2 (Prostate-Specific Antigen Working Group 2) criteria for bone scan evaluation. The time will be 'backdated' to when the >= 2 new lesions were detected if a second scan is done to confirm progression.

    Measured: At week 8, 16, 24, and every 12 weeks thereafter up to 3 years after treatment start

  9. Incidence of Serious Adverse Events

    Incidence of serious adverse events, graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0

    Measured: Up to 3 years after treatment start

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Selinexor in people with Castration Levels of Testosterone and Hormone-Resistant Prostate Cancer, run by University of California, San Francisco 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 53 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jun 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 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 26 Jun 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?

Radiographic Progression Free Survival (rPFS) (time frame: From study start up to 3 years). 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 NCT02215161, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 26 Jun 2018.
