Trial Outcomes & Findings for Study Combining Imatinib Mesylate (Gleevec) With Sorafenib in Patients With Androgen-independent Prostate Cancer (AIPC) (NCT NCT00424385)

NCT ID: NCT00424385

Last Updated: 2014-07-21

Results Overview

Eligible patients were enrolled in one of 4 cohorts, where each cohort allowed 3 evaluable patients to be on study, patients withdrawn from treatment for reasons other than toxicity were not considered evaluable. If one of the three evaluable patients experienced a dose limiting toxicity (DLT) the cohort was expanded to 6 evaluable patients. Patients will receive both study drugs on escalated dosing schedule until the maximum of 400 mg PO BID is reached for both drugs or toxicity is established. If 2 out of six evaluable patients experience a dose limiting toxicity this would show that the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) was the dose from the prior cohort.

Measure
Imatinib + Sorafenib
Both drugs, Gleevec + Sorafenib are given to all patients on study. There are 4 potential cohorts. Each will enroll 3 evaluable (patients that complete 2 cycles of treatment) patients. If a Dose Limiting Toxicity is demonstrated in a cohort, an additional 3 evaluable patients can be enrolled in that cohort. Cohort 0 was 400mg Sorafenib every day (QD)and 300mg of Imatinib QD. Cohort 1 was 400mg Sorafenib two times a day and 300mg QD Imatinib.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: up to 20 weeks

Population: Cohort 0: 6 evaluable patients were enrolled. Patients who withdrew for reasons other than toxicity were not considered evaluable for MTD. 1 out of 6 patients had a DLT, therefore Cohort 1 was started. Cohort 1: 2 DLTs were demonstrated from 5 evaluable patients. By definition the Maximum tolerated dose was the dosing schedule used in cohort 0.

Eligible patients were enrolled in one of 4 cohorts, where each cohort allowed 3 evaluable patients to be on study, patients withdrawn from treatment for reasons other than toxicity were not considered evaluable. If one of the three evaluable patients experienced a dose limiting toxicity (DLT) the cohort was expanded to 6 evaluable patients. Patients will receive both study drugs on escalated dosing schedule until the maximum of 400 mg PO BID is reached for both drugs or toxicity is established. If 2 out of six evaluable patients experience a dose limiting toxicity this would show that the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) was the dose from the prior cohort.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: up to 20 weeks

Population: There were 17 patients enrolled. 10 were evaluable for assessment of overall clinical benefit. 7 were not evaluable due to having received \<1 cycle of drug.

Overall Clinical Benefit was measured as the sum of complete response (CR), partial response (PR), and stable disease (SD).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: up to 5 cycles, an average of 20 weeks, from the day of first treatment until the date of the last dose of study drug

Medium TTP is 2 months (range 1-5). 10 patients were evaluable for disease progression for these patients occurred between 1-5 months after starting the study. The TTP was calculated per protocol. For radiographic assessment Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) was used. Complete response = disappearance of all lesions. Partial response (PR)=30% or greater decrease in sum of longest diameter of measureable lesions SD. Lesions have no sufficient decrease for progressive disease and no sufficient increase to meet Progressive Disease (PD). PD more than 20% increase in sum of longest diameter of measurable lesions or 2 or more new bone mets. prostate-specific antigen (PSA) assessment for patients with measurable disease, PSA progression in the absence of measurable disease progression will not be considered progressive disease.
