About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Randomized Clinical Investigation of Trelstar Versus Continued Therapy in Patients Receiving Lupron or Zoladex for Advanced Prostate Cancer

This research study looks at Testosterone levels in patients receiving Trelstar versus those receiving Lupron or Zoladex. These drugs have been approved for treatment of Prostate Cancer by the FDA.

Read the detailed description

Patients who are currently receiving Lupron or Zoladex will be consented and then randomized to receive either continued treatment with the drug they have been on, or will be randomized to Trelstar for a period of 3 months. At the end of that period, testosterone and prostate serum antigen (PSA) levels will be drawn and compared to their previous levels to determine if Trelstar is as effective as the previous treatment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Trelstar, Lupron and Zoladex in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Pharmatech at 11 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 10 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 25 Apr 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 was stopped early (reason given: Withdrawal of funding support). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Maintenance of serum testosterone at or below castration level (50ng/dL) (time frame: 12 weeks). 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 25 Apr 2016.
