About this study

Official title: Phase Ib/II Clinical Study of TQB3616 Capsules in Combination With Abiraterone Acetate Plus Prednisone in Patients With Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

This is a phase Ib/II clinical study of TQB3616 capsules in combination with abiraterone acetate plus prednisone in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, to determine the dose for further clinical studies and to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this combined therapy.

Read the detailed description

TQB3616 is an inhibitor of Cyclin-dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK4/6), which reduces intracellular protein phosphorylation levels, prevents cells from entering synthesis (S) phase from first gap (G1) phase, and inhibits cell proliferation to combat tumors. TQB3616 has superior inhibitory activity to Palbociclib and Abemaciclib against CDK4/6 kinase and may benefit metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients through a complementary mechanism of action when combined with abiraterone acetate plus prednisone. Therefore, the investigators intend to perform this phase Ib/II clinical study of TQB3616 capsules in combination with abiraterone acetate plus prednisone in patients with mCRPC.

What is being measured

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

  1. 12-month radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) rate

    Percentage of subjects with radiographic progression-free survival of 12 months or more

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (8)

  1. rPFS

    Radiographic progression-free survival: Refers to the time between the start of enrollment and the onset of disease imaging progression or recurrence or death from all causes, whichever occurs first. Imaging-confirmed disease progression includes: soft tissue and lymph node disease progression as evaluated by Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors 1.1 (RECIST 1.1), and bone metastases progression as evaluated by the Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 (PCWG3) .

    Measured: 2 years

  2. 6-month rPFS rate

    Percentage of subjects with radiographic progression-free survival of 6 months.

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Prostate specific antigen (PSA) response rate

    The percentage of subjects whose PSA decrease by more than 50% of the baseline value and maintain for more than 4 weeks.

    Measured: 2 years

  4. Time to PSA progression

    The time from the first dose to the confirmation of PSA progression. The PCWG3 standard defines PSA progression as: For subjects with a ≥50% decrease in PSA at 12 weeks of treatment, a 25% increase in PSA above the nadir and an absolute increase of ≥2 ng/mL compared to the nadir, and confirmed by a second PSA test ≥3 weeks later; for subjects with a non-responsive PSA at 12 weeks of treatment, a 25% increase in PSA above baseline and an absolute increase of ≥2 ng/mL compared to the baseline value, and confirmed by a second PSA test ≥3 weeks later.

    Measured: 2 years

  5. Objective response rate (ORR)

    Objective response rate: The percentage of subjects in complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as determined by the investigator according to RECIST 1.1.

    Measured: 2 years

  6. Overall survival (OS)

    Overall survival: The time between the start of enrollment and death from all causes.

    Measured: 2 years

  7. Clinical benefit rate (CBR)

    Clinical benefit rate: The best overall outcome (BOR) was the proportion of stable disease (SD) subjects with CR, PR and duration ≥24 weeks as rated by RECIST 1. 1 criteria.

    Measured: 2 years

  8. Duration of response (DOR)

    Duration of response: For subjects whose best remission was CR or PR, this is defined as the time between the date of first documented tumor remission and the date of first documented disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occur first.

    Measured: 2 years

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 15 inclusion and 57 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 14 Dec 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. 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?

Contact Hao Zeng, Doctor (8618980602129, kucaizeng@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

12-month radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) rate (time frame: 12 months). 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 NCT05156450, which also lists 6 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 14 Dec 2021.
