Cyclophosphamide and Dexamethasone for the Treatment of Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer
Study Purpose
This phase I trial tests the safety and side effects of cyclophosphamide given together with dexamethasone in treating patients with castration resistant prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Chemotherapy drugs, such as cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving low doses of cyclophosphamide daily may reduce side effects. Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid drug that is used to treat some of the problems caused by chemotherapy treatment. The combination of cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone may work better in treating patients with castration resistant prostate cancer.
Recruitment Criteria
Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms
An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.
An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.
Inclusion Criteria:
- - PSA defined progression after most recent directed therapy.
Progression is defined as PSA increase >= 25% of baseline or absolute increase of >= 2 ug/L on two PSA measurements at least 7 days apart.- - Participants with known active hepatitis B virus (Hep B) are allowed if antiviral
therapy for hepatitis B has been given for >8 weeks and viral load is < 100 IU/mL
prior to first dose of trial treatment.
Participants with treated or untreated hepatitis C virus (HCV) are allowed.Exclusion Criteria:
- - Any condition, including concomitant disease, additional malignancies, laboratory
abnormalities, or psychiatric illness, that in the opinion of the investigator would
interfere with the participant's safety or compliance while on trial.
- Use of systemic therapy for the treatment of prostate adenocarcinoma within 2 weeks of initiating study treatmentTrial Details
This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.
Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.
Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.
Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.
Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.
The sponsor is the organization or person who oversees the clinical study and is responsible for analyzing the study data.
The person who is responsible for the scientific and technical direction of the entire clinical study.
Category of organization(s) involved as sponsor (and collaborator) supporting the trial.
The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
- II. To assess the safety of cyclophosphamide + dexamethasone in men with mCRPC
who have progressed on 2 or more prior treatments.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:I. To evaluate prostate specific antigen (PSA) response and progression free survival and time to event outcome in participants with mCRPC treated with cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE:- I. To analyze serial blood samples for PSA monitoring and tumor tissue
for pRb (encoded by the RB1 gene) and p53 (encoded by the TP53 gene) mutations.
OUTLINE: Patients receive cyclophosphamide orally (PO) once daily (QD) and dexamethasone PO QD on days 1-28 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days and then every 3 months thereafter.Arms
Experimental: Treatment (cyclophosphamide, dexamethasone)
