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.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Male

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Has a histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate, for which endocrine therapy is indicated
  • Has a current tumour, nodule and metastasis (TNM) staging within 12 weeks prior to treatment start and, if clinically indicated a bone scan

  • Has a PSA level meeting one of these criteria:

    1. For treatment-naïve patients: Screening PSA level should be ≥2 ng/mL.
    2. For patients with recurrence after radical prostatectomy: Patients should have a serum PSA increase of ≥0.2 ng/mL from the previous test on two consecutive measurements
    3. For patients with recurrence after radiotherapy or cryotherapy: Patients should have a serum PSA (two measurements) to be >2 ng/mL higher than a previously confirmed PSA nadir
  • Has a screening serum testosterone level above the lower limit of normal range in an elderly male population, globally defined as >150 ng/dL
  • Has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group score of ≤2
  • Has a life expectancy of at least one year

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Has had previous or is currently under hormonal management of prostate cancer
  • Is considered to be a candidate for curative therapy i.e. radical prostatectomy or radiotherapy during the trial period
  • Has a history of bilateral orchiectomy, adrenalectomy, or hypophysectomy
  • Has a marked baseline prolongation of QT/QTcF interval (e.g. repeated demonstration of a QTcF interval >450 ms)
  • Has a history of risk factors for Torsade de Pointes ventricular arrhythmias (e.g. heart failure, hypokalemia, or family history of Long QT Syndrome)
  • Has a previous history or presence of another malignancy, other than prostate
  • Currently receiving chronic treatment with intramuscular medication injected into the ventrogluteal or dorsogluteal muscle
  • Has received an investigational drug within the last 28 days preceding the Screening Visit or longer if considered to possibly influence the outcome of the current trial

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

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
