Trial Outcomes & Findings for Single Agent Temsirolimus (Torisel®) in Chemotherapy-naïve Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Patients (NCT NCT00919035)

NCT ID: NCT00919035

Last Updated: 2014-06-30

Results Overview

The overall clinical benefit is defined as the sum of complete response (CR), partial response (PR), and stable disease (SD). CR: is the disappearance of all measurable lesions including bone lesions detected on the bone scan, no evidence of new lesions, and no disease-related symptoms. PR: More than 30% decrease in the sum of longest diameter of measurable lesions compared to baseline. SD: Lesions should have no sufficient decrease for PR or CR and no sufficient increase to meet criteria for Progressive Disease (PD). PD: \> 20% increase in the sum of longest diameter of measurable lesions compared to baseline, and/or evidence of new lesions on imaging studies OR The appearance of 2 or more new bony lesions on a bone scan is satisfactory for PD. Newly developed cord compression or pathologic fracture is defined as PD.

Overall Clinical Benefit From Torisel® in Chemotherapy-naïve Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC).
67 percentage of participants

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Disease progression is assessed every 2 months, for up to 40 weeks, measured from day one of protocol treatment until the date the patient is off study.

Time to disease progression is defined as the length of time from when the patient starts the study till disease progression. Disease progression is defined as more than 20% increase in the sum of longest diameter of measurable lesions compared to baseline, and/or evidence of new lesions on imaging studies. Or the appearance of 2 or more new bony lesions on a bone scan. Or newly developed cord compression or pathologic fracture.

Interval 2.0 to 10.0

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: evaluate PSA doubling time pre study to actual doubling time while on study - calculated from start of study up to 10 cycles or 40 weeks.

Population: PSA doubling time pre study was compared to PSA doubling time while the patients are on study, per protocol.

PSA Doubling time is defined as the length of time that it takes for an individual patients PSA to double. PSA doubling times were calculated using the medial records at study entry for each patient. While the patient was on study their PSA doubling times were also calculated.
