About this study

Official title: Identifying Mechanisms of Resistance to Enzalutamide (MDV3100) Treatment in Men With Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

This research trial studies molecular features and pathways in predicting drug resistance in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body and who are receiving enzalutamide. Studying samples of blood and tissue in the laboratory from patients receiving enzalutamide may help doctors learn more about molecular features and pathways that may cause prostate cancer to be resistant to the drug.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess the correlations between baseline molecular features and pathways and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response (</>= 50% decline) at 12 weeks versus (vs.) baseline.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess the correlations between the baseline molecular features and pathways and progression-free survival (defined as time from day 1 of study drug treatment to date of radiographic progression or clinical progression), disease-specific survival (defined as the time from day 1 of study drug to date of death from prostate cancer), and overall survival (defined as time from day 1 of study drug treatment to date of death from any cause).

II. To assess the correlations between the baseline molecular features and pathways and time to PSA progression.

III. To identify molecular features and cellular pathways present in tumors from men with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) that are progressing despite enzalutamide treatment.

IV. To explore correlation between baseline molecular features and pathways and objective response.

  1. To assess the correlations between the baseline molecular features and pathways and degree of PSA decline at 12 weeks and maximal PSA decline observed while on study.

VI. To assess the correlations between the baseline molecular features and time on treatment.

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess correlations between cell-free deoxyribonucleic acid (cfDNA) molecular features from blood and molecular features and pathways from the biopsy samples.

II. To assess correlations between cfDNA molecular features and endpoints in the primary and secondary objectives listed above.

III. To explore correlations with baseline molecular features and tissue histology.

IV. To explore correlations with baseline tissue histology and PSA change, time to PSA progression, time on treatment, progression-free survival, and overall survival.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo collection of blood and tissue samples at baseline, during administration of enzalutamide, and after the time of disease progression for analysis via immunohistochemistry, comparative genome hybridization, and sequencing.

After completion of study, patients are followed up every 12 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. PSA response, a binary variable indicating whether the PSA level has declined >= 50% within 12 weeks of beginning enzalutamide treatment

    Will be reported with 95% exact confidence interval.

    Measured: Within 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Degree of PSA decline

    Simple linear regression will be used to assess the association between molecular biomarker predictors and the continuous endpoints. Logarithm transformation or other forms of transformation may be conducted to the continuous endpoints to address the skewedness of the distributions if necessary.

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. Disease-specific survival

    Will be graphically illustrated using Kaplan-Meier plots of estimated survival distribution for patients (</>= 50%) PSA decline at 12 weeks. Log-rank test will be fitted to determine whether the estimated survival distribution of each time-to-event endpoint differs for patients with PSA decline >= 50% versus patients with PSA decline < 50%. Cox regression models will be fitted to obtain the estimated hazard ratio for each time-to-event endpoints for patients who had >= 50% PSA decline at 12 weeks versus those who had not.

    Measured: Time from day 1 of the study drug to date of death from prostate cancer, assessed up to 4 years

  3. Maximal PSA decline observed while on study

    Simple linear regression will be used to assess the association between molecular biomarker predictors and the continuous endpoints. Logarithm transformation or other forms of transformation may be conducted to the continuous endpoints to address the skewedness of the distributions if necessary.

    Measured: Up to 4 years

  4. Molecular features

    Will assess correlations between the baseline molecular features and time on treatment.

    Measured: Up to 4 years

  5. Objective response

    Will be summarized using the estimated proportion and 95% confidence interval. Simple logistic regression model will be used to assess the association between molecular biomarker predictors and these binary secondary endpoints.

    Measured: Up to 4 years

  6. Overall survival

    Will be graphically illustrated using Kaplan-Meier plots of estimated survival distribution for patients (</>= 50%) PSA decline at 12 weeks. Log-rank test will be fitted to determine whether the estimated survival distribution of each time-to-event endpoint differs for patients with PSA decline >= 50% versus patients with PSA decline < 50%. Cox regression models will be fitted to obtain the estimated hazard ratio for each time-to-event endpoints for patients who had >= 50% PSA decline at 12 weeks versus those who had not.

    Measured: Time from day 1 of study drug treatment to date of death from any cause, assessed up to 4 years

  7. Progression for a subgroup of patients who have metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer and have received enzalutamide treatment

    Will be summarized using the estimated proportion and 95% confidence interval. Simple logistic regression model will be used to assess the association between molecular biomarker predictors and these binary secondary endpoints.

    Measured: Up to 4 years

  8. Progression-free survival

    Will be graphically illustrated using Kaplan-Meier plots of estimated survival distribution for patients (</>= 50%) PSA decline at 12 weeks. Log-rank test will be fitted to determine whether the estimated survival distribution of each time-to-event endpoint differs for patients with PSA decline >= 50% versus patients with PSA decline < 50%. Cox regression models will be fitted to obtain the estimated hazard ratio for each time-to-event endpoints for patients who had >= 50% PSA decline at 12 weeks versus those who had not.

    Measured: Time from day 1 of study drug treatment to date of first documented radiographic progression or clinical progression, assessed up to 4 years

  9. Time to PSA progression

    Will be graphically illustrated using Kaplan-Meier plots of estimated survival distribution for patients (</>= 50%) PSA decline at 12 weeks. Log-rank test will be fitted to determine whether the estimated survival distribution of each time-to-event endpoint differs for patients with PSA decline >= 50% versus patients with PSA decline < 50%. Cox regression models will be fitted to obtain the estimated hazard ratio for each time-to-event endpoints for patients who had >= 50% PSA decline at 12 weeks versus those who had not.

    Measured: Up to 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Castration Levels of Testosterone and Castration-Resistant Prostate Carcinoma, run by OHSU Knight Cancer Institute at 3 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 13 inclusion and 9 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 28 Sep 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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.

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?

PSA response, a binary variable indicating whether the PSA level has declined >= 50% within 12 weeks of beginning enzalutamide treatment (time frame: Within 12 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
