What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of patients free of biochemical recurrence within 5 years of receiving a combination of radiation therapy with docetaxel associated with hormone therapy or the standard of care of radiation therapy and hormone therapy

    Percentage of patients free of elevation of PSA by 2 ng/mL above the minimum level reached since treatment (biochemical reccurrence), calculating the at-call event, i.e., the date of last confirmatory test (Phoenix criteria).

    Measured: 5 years of randomization

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Percentage of patients with biochemical recurrence-free survival

    The duration of survival, in months, between randomization of the patient in the study and the date of recurrence by PSA. In the remaining patients, the last available follow-up will be taken as the last control

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Percentage of patients with progression-free survival

    The duration of survival, in months, between randomization of the patient in the study and the date of recurrence by PSA, clinical manifestations or death due to disease. In the remaining patients, the last available follow-up will be taken as the last control

    Measured: 5 years

  3. Percentage of patients with overall survival.

    Defined as the time that elapses, in months, between randomization of the patient in the study and the date of death, regardless of the cause. In the remaining patients, the last available follow-up will be taken as the last control.

    Measured: 5 years

  4. Clinical response rate

    The clinical response rate: percentage of patients with partial and complete response, according to RECIST criteria.

    Measured: 5 years

  5. Biochemical response rate.

    Biochemical response rate: percentage of patients with partial and complete response, according to PSA levels.

    Measured: 5 years

  6. Quality of life of the patients

    Change from baseline in the Quality of Life Questionnaire C30 scale (QLQ-C30) to week 9. The QLQ-c30 has five functional scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social); three symptom scales (fatigue, pain, and nausea and vomiting); and a global health and quality-of-life scale. They are assigned values between 1 and 4 (1: nothing, 2: a few, 3: enough, 4: a lot) according to the patient's responses to the item, only in items 29 and 30 are assessed with a score from 1 to 7 (1: terrible, 7: excellent). The obtained scores are summed and standardized and gets a score between 0 and 100

    Measured: screening and week 9

  7. Safety profile of the treatment.

    Numbers of events evaluated according to NCI criteria CTCAE v3

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Docetaxel, Hormone and radiation therapy and Radiation therapy in people with Prostate Cancer Stage III and Prostate Cancer Stage IV, run by Spanish Oncology Genito-Urinary Group.

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 11 inclusion and 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jan 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

Percentage of patients free of biochemical recurrence within 5 years of receiving a combination of radiation therapy with docetaxel associated with hormone therapy or the standard of care of radiation therapy and hormone therapy (time frame: 5 years of randomization). 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 NCT03432780, which also lists 9 linked publications.

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 22 Jan 2021.
