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 18 years and older
  • Men only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The original slides of 208 patients with informed consent will be reviewed. Patients with and without markers under the investigation will be accrued into this study. The investigators at the treating institutions will submit paraffin-embedded tissue blocks from the original pre-treatment diagnostic prostatic biopsy, which will be reviewed to confirm the Gleason score and to record other histopathologic features, such as the extent of tumor in the biopsies, the number of positive biopsies, and mitotic index.

Who may be able to join

  • T3a +
  • PSA > 20
  • Gleason 8 or higher
  • Karnofsky performance status ≥ 70.
  • Signed study-specific informed consent

Who cannot join

  • -

About this study

The objective of the study is to evaluate the predictive value of TMPRSS2-ERG gene fusion and PTEN in patients with high risk prostate cancer treated with first line LHRH agonist after biochemical failure.

Read the detailed description

The objective of the study is to evaluate the predictive value of TMPRSS2-ERG gene fusion and PTEN in patients with high risk prostate cancer treated with first line LHRH agonist after biochemical failure.

Patients in this study will be treated with standard hormonal treatment. Patients will remain on treatment regardless of rising PSA. PSA, other systemic therapy maybe added and the patients with oligometastasis could be treated with radiation therapy; this would be at the discretion of the treating oncologist.

The primary endpoint of this study is to determine the predictive value of TMPRSS2-ERG gene fusion and PTEN in hormonal refractory free survival and clinical progression rate in three years. The secondary endpoints are to evaluate the relation between Gleason score and TMPRSS2-ERG gene fusion and PTEN independently and together, the relation between T stage and TMPRSS2-ERG gene fusion and PTEN independently and together, and to determine the association of these markers with overall survival.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patients with biochemical failure showing coexistence of PTEN and TMPRSS2-ERG gene fusion.

    Biopsy samples of patients treated for high risk prostate cancer with radical radiation and hormonal therapy (LHRH) who have either clinical progression or 3-year hormonal refractory free survival will be tested to evaluate the predictive value of the coexistence of TMPRSS2-ERG gene fusion and the PTEN deletion. The results between the two groups will be compared to see if either DNA changes are an indicator of LHRH refractoriness

    Measured: recruitment over 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prostate Cancer, run by Sir Mortimer B. Davis - Jewish General Hospital at 9 sites in Canada.

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 5 inclusion and 1 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Dec 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in Canada. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ashley Feng, M.Sc. (514-340-8222 ext. 26510, yanqi.feng.ccomtl@ssss.gouv.qc.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of patients with biochemical failure showing coexistence of PTEN and TMPRSS2-ERG gene fusion. (time frame: recruitment over 4 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 4 Dec 2024.
