Fractionated Docetaxel and Radium 223 in Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

NCT03737370

Description:

The objective of this study is to determine the maximum safe dose of Ra-223 in combination with fractionated (split doses) docetaxel when given to subjects and to determine the best administering dose. The study will look at side effects that may happen while taking the combination treatment. A total of approximately 18 subjects will take part in the dose escalation part of the study and an additional 25 subjects will participate in the expansion cohort. This study will be conducted across four centers in the United States.

Purpose

The objective of this study is to determine the maximum safe dose of Ra-223 in combination with fractionated (split doses) docetaxel when given to subjects and to determine the best administering dose. The study will look at side effects that may happen while taking the combination treatment. A total of approximately 18 subjects will take part in the dose escalation part of the study and an additional 25 subjects will participate in the expansion cohort. This study will be conducted across four centers in the United States.

Detailed Description

      The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and toxicity of a fractionated
      docetaxel schedule in combination with standard Ra-223.

      Secondary Objectives include: assessment of progression-free survival, time to treatment
      failure, overall survival, ability of subjects to complete 6 cycles of the combination
      therapy, assessment of Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) kinetics and objective responses
      (measurable disease), assessment of quality of life and assessment of bone bio-marker
      outcomes.

      The study features a 4-week lead-in period with docetaxel monotherapy to assess for docetaxel
      intolerance. The lead-in period is then followed by combination therapy with Ra-223 every 4
      weeks for 6 cycles in a traditional Phase I dose-escalation design.

      A provision has been made to include prophylactic granulocyte colony stimulating factor
      (G-CSF) cohorts after the lead-in period if neutropenia is the dose limiting toxicity at
      either dose level.

      The investigators hypothesize that the fractionated dosing of docetaxel will significantly
      mitigate the hematologic toxicity, preserve antineoplastic activity and allow for maintenance
      of the 4-weekly Ra-223 schedule.
    

Trial Arms

NameTypeDescriptionInterventions
Dose escalationExperimentalThere are four dose cohorts (1, 1a, 2, 2a) in this arm and two dose levels of docetaxel (40mg/m^2 [level 1] and 50mg/m^2 [level 2]). Dosing of Radium 223 remains the same in all cohorts (55 KBq/kg given every 28 days for 6 cycles). Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of docetaxel will be assessed. MTD is defined as the highest dose-level, among those tested, associated with a rate of less than a 33% dose limiting toxicity (DLT).
  • Docetaxel
Dose expansionExperimentalIf the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of docetaxel is found in arm 1, this dose level will be expanded to include an additional 25 subjects to confirm the safety and explore the preliminary anti-cancer effect. If the MTD is not identified, the study will be stopped and the expansion cohort will not be accrued.
