The Role of Highly Selective Androgen Receptor (AR) Targeted Therapy in Men With Biochemically Relapsed Hormone Sensitive Prostate Cancer

February 27, 2020 updated by: Aragon Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
The proposed clinical trial will study the effects of 12 months of therapy with ARN-509 alone, or in combination with an LHRH agonist (LHRHa), each compared with LHRHa alone, in men with a rapidly rising serum PSA after prior definitive local therapy for prostate cancer. The endpoints selected reflect measurable short term effects of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), including quality of life and several metabolic parameters. In addition, the relative effect of each treatment strategy on PSA suppression as well as testosterone recovery (and subsequent PSA progression) after 12 months of therapy will be evaluated.

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
Change From Baseline in Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Prostate (FACT-P) Total Score at 12 Months
Time Frame: Baseline, at 12 months
FACT-P assesses symptoms/problems related to prostate carcinoma and its treatment. It is a combination of the FACT- General + the Prostate Cancer Subscale (PCS). The FACT-General (FACT-G) is a 27 item Quality of Life (QoL) measure that provides a total score as well as subscale scores: Physical (0-28), Functional (0-28), Social (0-28), and Emotional Well-being (0-24). The total score range is between 1-108, higher scores indicates better for total score and subscale scores. PCS is a 12-item prostate cancer subscale that asks about symptoms and problems specific to prostate cancer (Range 0-48, higher scores better). The FACT-P total score is the sum of all 5 subscale scores of the FACT-P questionnaire and ranges from 0-156. Higher scores indicate higher degree of functioning and better quality of life.
Baseline, at 12 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.

EORTC QLQ-C30 is a 30 items self-reporting questionnaire resulting in 5 functional scales (physical functioning, role functioning, emotional functioning, cognitive functioning, and social functioning), 1 Global Health Status (GHS) scale, 3 symptom scales (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and pain), and 6 single symptom items (dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties). Questionnaire includes 28 items with 4-point Likert type responses from "1-not at all" to "4-very much" to assess functioning and symptoms; 2 items with 7-point Likert scales (1= poor and 7= excellent) for global health and overall health related quality of life. Scores are transformed to 0 to 100 scale, with higher scores representing better GHS, better functioning, and more symptoms.
Baseline, at 3, 12 and 24 months
Change From Baseline in EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire-Prostate 25 (QLQ-PR25) Score at 3, 12 and 24 Months
Time Frame: Baseline, at 3, 12 and 24 months
EORTC QLQ-PR25, a module of the EORTC QLQ-30 questionnaire was used to assess the quality of life. It Consist of 25 questions distributed on 6 domains: urinary symptoms (8 items), incontinence aid (1 item), bowel symptoms (4 items), hormonal treatment-related symptoms (HTRS) (6 items), sexual activity (2 items), and sexual functioning (4 items). Participants answered each of these questions on a 4 point scale (1 'Not at all' to 4 'Very much'). All raw domain scores are linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale, with higher scores reflecting either more symptoms (urinary, bowel, hormonal treatment-related symptoms) or higher levels of activity or functioning (sexual).

It consists of 5 items pertaining to sexual functioning, with scores ranging from 0-5 for most items. The total score is obtained by adding all five item scores, and can range from 5 to 25. Higher scores indicate higher level of sexual function and less erectile dysfunction.

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. An AE can, therefore, be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product, whether or not related to that medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product. Treatment-emergent adverse events are those that occurred between the date of 1st dose of study drug and date of last dose of study drug plus 30 days.
From date of 1st dose of study drug to date of last dose of study drug plus 30 days (up to 6 years)
