About this study

Official title: The Purpose of This Study is to Compare the Therapy Effects and Clinical Safety of a Regulatory Metabolic Compound, Coenzyme A (CoA) With a Marketed Drug, Abiraterone, in Chinese Patients With Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) .

The purpose of this study is to compare the therapy effects and clinical safety of a regulatory metabolic compound, coenzyme A (CoA) with a marketed drug, abiraterone, in Chinese patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) .

Read the detailed description

Prostate Cancer (PCa) has developed into the second most common cancer in men. In The United States, PCa has the highest morbidity in man. In China, the incidence rate is lower than in Europe and the US, but it is growing faster and faster. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) has been the most commonly used treatment for men with advanced prostate cancer for hundreds of years, effective in more than 85 percent of cases, but usually after 20 months or so, half of patients will inevitably develop castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), which will become resistant to ADT, and patients will relapse. There are several treatments that are trying to address this problem. Such as the chemotherapy docetaxel, cabataxel, and the radioactive drug radium 223 dichloride; PARP inhibitor olaparib, but the efficacy is limited.

For finding some new pathways and targets to treat CRPC, a model of PCa persister cell was first been established at a cellular level in this study. In light of the new target, we first find a being used clinically drug, Coenzyme A (CoA), through prescription sieve to treat enzalutamide or abiraterone drug-fast CRPC patients. CoA functions as an acyl group carrier and assists in transferring fatty acids from the cytoplasm to mitochondria. It is also involved in the oxidation and catabolism of fatty acids. There is an efficient drug action at a cellular level and in animals, and we look forward to it at clinical utility.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Coenzyme A Combined With Abiraterone and Abiraterone in people with Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer, run by Jiangnan University at 1 site in China.

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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Apr 2021. 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 China. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined 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.

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?

Contact YongQuan Chen, MD (051013812517168, yqchen@jiangnan.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Total prostate specific antigen (TPSA) level (time frame: 2 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 9 Apr 2021.
