Trial Outcomes & Findings for Assessment Of Dutasteride (AVODART) In Extending The Time To Progression Of Low-Risk, Localized Prostate Cancer In Men (NCT NCT00363311)

NCT ID: NCT00363311

Last Updated: 2017-01-18

Results Overview

PC progression (prog.) was defined as the earliest occurrence of primary therapy, also referred to as therapeutic prog., for PC (prostatectomy/radiation/hormonal therapy); or pathological prog., defined as 1 of the following: \>=4 cores involved; \>=50% of any 1 core involved; or a Gleason pattern of \>=4 as a result of any on-study/for-cause biopsy. Primary Gleason grade is assigned to the most common tumor pattern; a second grade to the next most common tumor pattern. The two grades are added together to get a score. Gleason grade= 1-5; Gleason score=2-10; 5 and 10 indicate worst prognosis.

Population: ITT Population: all participants randomized to study treatment. Some participants dropped out of the study prior to meeting the primary endpoint for reasons other than disease progression or refused to have a biopsy performed.

PC progression (prog.) was defined as the earliest occurrence of primary therapy, also referred to as therapeutic prog., for PC (prostatectomy/radiation/hormonal therapy); or pathological prog., defined as 1 of the following: \>=4 cores involved; \>=50% of any 1 core involved; or a Gleason pattern of \>=4 as a result of any on-study/for-cause biopsy.

All participants were required by protocol to undergo a transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided 12-core prostate biopsy at 1.5 and 3 years or at the end of the study, if the participant discontinued the study early. Any for-cause biopsy (outside of protocol-mandated biopsies) 12 cores were obtained. If a for-cause biopsy occurred within 6 months prior to the protocol-mandated biopsy, the biopsy was counted as the protocol-mandated biopsy. All biopsies were reviewed and analyzed by a central pathologist.

The 2005 International Society of Urological Pathologists recommendations for Gleason scoring were used to grade tumors. A primary grade is assigned to the most common tumor pattern (how the cancer cells look under a microscope), and a second grade to the next most common pattern. The two grades are added together to get a GS. Gleason grade range= 1-5; 5=worst prognosis. GS range=2-10; 10=worst prognosis. Improvement is defined as a decrease in GS from a baseline score of 6 (GS\<=6; includes no cancer); worsening is defined as an increase in GS from a baseline score of 6 (GS \>6).

All on-study or for-cause biopsies were reviewed and analyzed by a central pathologist. The 2005 International Society of Urological Pathologists recommendations for clinical tumor staging were used. T1c = tumor identified by needle biopsy (e.g., because of elevated prostate-specific antigen \[PSA\]); T2 = tumor confined within the prostate; T2a = tumor involves one-half of one lobe, but not both lobes of the prostate.

All on-study or for-cause biopsies were reviewed and analyzed by a central pathologist. The National Comprehensive Network (NCCN), 2005 clinical practices guidelines in Oncology-prostate cancer were used for clinical tumor staging. T0: no evidence of primary tumor; T1: clinically inapparent tumor, neither palpable nor visible by imaging; T2: tumor confined within the prostate; T3: tumor extends through the prostate capsule; T4: tumor is fixed or invades adjacent structures other than seminal vesicles. A clinical stage of T0 in post-baseline biopsies has been interpreted as "No Worsening."

Population: ITT Population. As the study progressed, participants dropped out of the study. Last observation carried forward (LOCF) was used.

Prostate volume was determined at baseline, at Year 1.5, and at Year 3. The anteroposterior, cephalocaudal, and transverse diameters of the prostate were obtained by transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) to calculate the prostate volume using the following formula: π/ 6 (anteroposterior width \* cephalocaudal width \* transverse width). Prostate volume calculated by pre-programmed equipment is unacceptable for the on-study prostate volume measurements.

The MAX-PC is a self-reported measure evaluating three aspects of PC-related anxiety: general anxiety related to PC/treatment, fear of recurrence, and anxiety related to PSA testing. The MAX-PC consists of 18 questions, each score ranging from 0 (least anxiety) to 3 (maximum anxiety). Total score is the sum of each question score, thus ranging from 0 to 54. A higher MAX-PC score indicates greater anxiety. At Months 18 and 36, participants were given an additional copy of the questionnaire and were asked to complete at home once they were notified of their PSA result and to send back to clinic.
