About this study

Official title: ACADEMIC: A Randomized Phase II Clinical Trial of ADT Combined With Abiraterone or Docetaxel in Metastatic Hormone Sensitive Prostate Cancer

This phase II trial studies how well docetaxel or abiraterone acetate work when combined with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in treating patients with hormone sensitive prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel and abiraterone acetate, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Antihormone therapy, such as ADT may lessen the amount of androgen made by the body. It is not yet known whether docetaxel or abiraterone acetate work better when combined with ADT in treating patients with hormone sensitive prostate cancer.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess the impact of abiraterone acetate (abiraterone) and docetaxel on total quality of life between screening and month 12 of the study.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess prostate specific androgen (PSA) response rates across the entire population and compared between groups.

II. To assess impact of abiraterone and docetaxel on additional quality of life measurements and quality of life trends throughout the duration of the study.

III. To assess the potential clinical efficacy between treatment groups.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Quality of Life - FACT-P

    The impact of abiraterone acetate and docetaxel on health related quality of life will be assessed every 3 months from screening to month 12 of treatment or follow-up. The scale used will be the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Prostate (FACT-P) scale. The total score ranges from 0 to 156, with higher scores indicating a higher quality of life. The primary endpoint was intended to be quality of life at 12 months, but since no participants completed 12 months of treatment/follow-up, scores at baseline and 3 months are reported instead.

    Measured: Planned for up to one year, but actual was 3 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Prostate-specific Antigen (PSA) Response

    PSA evaluations will occur every 3 months while on study. PSA response is defined as a reduction in PSA value of greater than or equal to 90% from baseline, reported as a count of participants who had a PSA response on the study.

    Measured: Planned for up to 18 months, but actual was 3 months

  2. Change in Quality of Life - FACT/GOG-NTX

    Quality of Life questionnaires will be done every 3 months while participants are on treatment. The scale used will be the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT)/Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG)-Neurotoxicity (NTX) (FACT/GOG-NTX) scale (version 4). FACT/GOG-NTX total score ranges from 0 to 152, with higher scores indicating a higher quality of life.

    Measured: Planned for up to 18 months, but actual was 3 months

  3. Change in Quality of Life - PROMIS Fatigue

    Quality of Life questionnaires will be done every 3 months while participants are on treatment. The scale used will be the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Fatigue scale. Total raw scores range from 7 to 35, with higher scores indicating a higher level of fatigue.

    Measured: Planned for up to 18 months, but actual was 3 months

  4. Prostate Specific Antigen Progression Free Survival (PSA-PFS)

    Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) will be measured every three months while on study. PSA Progression Free Survival (PSA-PSF) will be reported as the number of participants who have not demonstrated PSA progression by the end of the follow-up period. PSA progression is defined by meeting the following criteria: 1) an increase in PSA of greater than or equal to 25% from baseline or nadir, AND 2) an increase in PSA of at least 2 ng/dL, AND 3) the increase is confirmed at least 3 weeks later. This analysis was planned for up to 18 months following study enrollment, but the only participant enrolled on the study was only followed for 3 months.

    Measured: Planned up to 18 months, but actual was 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Abiraterone Acetate, Antiandrogen Therapy and Docetaxel in people with Castration-Sensitive Prostate Carcinoma and Metastatic Prostatic Adenocarcinoma, run by University of Utah at 1 site 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 14 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 Jun 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Jun 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Change in Quality of Life - FACT-P (time frame: Planned for up to one year, but actual was 3 months). 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 Jun 2020.
