About this study

Official title: An Open-Label Phase 1b QT/QTc Study of JNJ-56021927 (ARN-509) in Subjects With Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

The purpose of this study is to determine whether daily treatment with apalutamide affects the ventricular repolarization in participants with Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC)

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label (a study in which the drug, procedure is known to participant and investigator), multicenter, Phase 1b study to investigate the effect of apalutamide on ventricular repolarization at a dose level of 240 milligram (mg daily). Approximately 42 participants with high-risk non-metastatic prostate cancer (NM-CRPC), defined as having a prostate specific antigen (PSA) doubling time less than or equal to (<=) 10 months, or participants with metastatic CRPC will be enrolled. The study consists of a 28-day Screening Phase, a Treatment Phase and a Follow-up Phase. In the Treatment Phase the study drug will be administrated in cycles of 28 days and the participants will be monitored for safety (including cardiac safety) and pharmacokinetics of the study drug. Adverse Events will be monitored throughout the study and in the Follow-up Phase until 30 days after the last dose of study drug. All participants will continue on study until disease progression, withdrawal of consent, lost to follow-up, the occurrence of unacceptable toxicity, the participant is no longer receiving clinical benefit in the opinion of the investigator, or termination of the study by the sponsor. Upon discontinuation of study drug, the participants will return for an End-of-Treatment (EoT) visit no later than 30 days after their last dose. The end of the study corresponds to the clinical cutoff and end of data collection.

What is being measured

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

  1. QTc Fridericia (QTcF) parameter

    Mean change from baseline in QTcF as measured based on triplicate electrocardiograms extracted from continuous 12-lead Holter monitor recordings after study drug intake.

    Measured: Day-1 and Day 1 (Cycle 1) and Day 1 (Cycle 3)

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Electrocardiographic parameters (HR, RR, PR, and QRS)

    A change from time-matched baseline measurements in HR, PR, RR and QRS interval will be determined on Day -1, Day 1 and Day 3

    Measured: Day-1 and Day 1 (Cycle 1) and Day 1 (Cycle 3)

  2. Electrocardiographic parameters (QT)

    QT interval on a surface ECG will be corrected for heart rate using Bazett formula (QTcB) and study-specific Power (QTcP) if appropriate at each treatment period.

    Measured: Day-1 and Day 1 (Cycle 1) and Day 1 (Cycle 3)

  3. Electrocardiographic parameters T- and U-wave morphology

    Number and percentage of participants with changes from baseline

    Measured: Day-1 and Day 1 (Cycle 1) and Day 1 (Cycle 3)

  4. Plasma concentrations apalutamide (and its active metabolite JNJ-56142060)

    Blood samples will be taken following dose administration.

    Measured: Day-1, Day 1 and Day 2 (Cycle 1) and Day 1 (Cycle 3)

  5. Number of participants with Adverse Events

    Participants will be monitored for safety during the Screening and Treatment Phases, and up to 30 days after the last dose of study drug. From Cycle 4 onward collection of Adverse Events (AEs) will be limited to Grade 3 or higher and all Serious AEs from the remainder of the study.

    Measured: Day-1, Day 1 and Day 15 (Cycle 1); Day 1 and Day 15 (Cycle 2) and Day 1 (Cycle 3).

  6. Pharmacokinetic parameter area under the plasma drug concentration-time curve (AUC) from time 0 to 24 hours

    The AUC(0-24h) is the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time 0 to time 24 hours after dosing.

    Measured: Day 1 and Day 2 (Cycle 1) and Day 1 (Cycle 3)

  7. Pharmacokinetic parameter maximum concentration observed (Cmax)

    The Cmax is the maximum observed plasma concentration.

    Measured: Day 1 and Day 2 (Cycle 1) and Day 1 (Cycle 3)

  8. Pharmacokinetic parameter time to reach Cmax (tmax)

    The tmax is the time to reach the maximum observed plasma concentration.

    Measured: Day 1 and Day 2 (Cycle 1) and Day 1 (Cycle 3)

  9. Pharmacokinetic parameter minimum observed plasma concentration (Cmin)

    The Cmin is the minimum observed plasma concentration.

    Measured: Cmin will only be collected on Day 1, Cycle 3

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Apalutamide in people with Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer, run by Aragon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 5 sites in 5 countries.

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 9 Nov 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in United States, Canada, Moldova, Netherlands, United Kingdom. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

QTc Fridericia (QTcF) parameter (time frame: Day-1 and Day 1 (Cycle 1) and Day 1 (Cycle 3)). 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 9 Nov 2023.
