Phase 2 Study of Yondelis in Men With Advanced Prostate Carcinoma

The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of trabectedin (ET-743) in adult male participants with advanced metastatic (spread of cancer cells from one part of the body to another) prostate cancer.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is an open-label (all people know the identity of the intervention), non-randomized, multi-center and Phase 2 study in adult male participants with advanced metastatic prostate cancer. The study consists of 3 parts: Screening (consists of 14 days before study commences on Day -1); Treatment (consists of 4-week dosing cycles wherein trabectedin will be administered as intravenously at a dose of either 0.58 milligram per square meter [mg/m^2] weekly 3-hour infusion, or 1.5 mg/m^2 or 1.2 mg/m^2 every three weeks 24-hour infusion); and Follow-up (until survival after the first dose of trabectedin). Participants will discontinue study treatment at disease progression or unacceptable toxicity unless, in the Investigator's opinion, it is deemed that the participants will continue to derive benefit from trabectedin. Efficacy will be evaluated primarily through decline in prostate-specific antigen (substance in blood that is measured to check for prostate cancer) after 72 hours of therapy on Day 1. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants Achieving Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) Response
Time Frame: Day 1 of each cycle until first documented disease progression up to 4 years
The PSA response will be evaluated according to National Cancer Institute PSA Working Group criterion, which is, greater than or equal to 50 percent decrease in PSA from Baseline after the first dose of study drug, which would be subsequently confirmed by a measurement, that is, at least 4 or more weeks after initial documentation of PSA.
Day 1 of each cycle until first documented disease progression up to 4 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Duration of Prostate-Specific Antigen Response
Time Frame: Day 1 of each cycle until first documented disease progression up to 4 years
Duration of Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) response will be analyzed in all participants for whom a response will be observed. The Duration of a PSA response is the time from a PSA response to PSA progression.
Day 1 of each cycle until first documented disease progression up to 4 years
Time to disease progression
Time Frame: Day 1 of each cycle until first documented disease progression up to 4 years
Time to disease progression is defined as the time period, from initiation of study treatment until documentation of disease progression. If participant will discontinue the study or lost to follow-up without progression or receive further anticancer therapy after study treatment discontinuation in absence of progression, time to progression will be censored at the time of the last PSA evaluation recorded.
Day 1 of each cycle until first documented disease progression up to 4 years
