An Efficacy and Safety Study With Licroca Depot, a Controlled Release Product, Injected Into the Prostate (2-HOF)

January 15, 2015 updated by: Lidds AB

An Open, Single and Multiple Dose, Efficacy and Safety Proof of Principle Study of Liproca Depot, a Controlled Release Formulation of 2-hydroxyflutamide, Injected Into the Prostate in Patients With Localized Prostate Cancer

The primary objective was to evaluate efficacy of a single dose of Liproca Depot in patients with localized prostate cancer. Primary efficacy variable was the proportion of patients showing PSA nadir. 24 Caucasian men, with a mean age at inclusion of 68.4 years, with localized prostate cancer were injected once with a ready made paste including 600 mg 2-hydroxyflutamide (Liproca Depot) into the site of the prostate where the tumour was localized. The patient was monitored for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) for maximum 6 months or to progression within this time period. The primary endpoint showed interesting results with high success rate (83%), i.e. proportion of patients (Responders) that reached plasma PSA nadir.

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

Patients with localized prostate cancer were followed to progression or maximum 24 weeks after a single injection in one lobe of 2-8 mL ready-made paste (corresponding to 400-1600 mg 2-Hydroxyflutamid). Progression was defined as an increase in PSA by > 25% over baseline or on-treatment nadir.Among the 24 patients the primary endpoint, plasma PSA nadir, was reached by 20 patients (Responders). Efficacy was measured primarily as PSA nadir, and secondly as time to PSA nadir and prostate volume change. Safety was monitored throughout the whole study period.

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. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. 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
Proportion of Patients Showing PSA Nadir
Time Frame: Measured every 4th week until progression or maximum 6 months.
Plasma PSA nadir is the lowest PSA reading achieved after any treatment for prostate cancer. The patients were observed once every 4th week during the study period.
Measured every 4th week until progression or maximum 6 months.

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.
