Safety and Efficacy Study of KX2-391 for Treatment of Bone-Metastatic, Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer

NCT ID: NCT01074138

Last Updated: 2023-02-02

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: PHASE2
• Total Enrollment: 31 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2010-02-28
• Study Completion Date: 2012-10-31

Brief Summary

The standard of care for patients with bone-metastatic, castrate-resistant prostate cancer is chemotherapy. If a patient elects not to choose chemotherapy, 70% will progress within 6 months. KX2-391 given orally twice a day for 6 months will be evaluated for its ability to delay/prevent disease progression in patients who have not had prior chemotherapy.

Detailed Description

This is a multi-center, single-arm, open-label, prospective phase II clinical trial evaluating the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of orally administered KX2-391 in adult male patients with progressive bone-metastatic CRPC. Patients must have 1) documented bone-metastatic prostate cancer, 2) castrate levels of testosterone, 3) not received prior chemotherapy, and 4) documented disease progression based on rising PSA, progressive measurable visceral disease and/or progressive bone lesions (one criteria is sufficient) as per the Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group (PCWG2) guidelines (Scher et al 2008).

Study Groups

Treatment

Subjects will be enrolled into a 28-day dose-escalation study. If no DLT's are observed during the first 28 days, subjects are eligible to continue treatment in the Extension Phase and can remain on treatment until toxicity occurs or until disease progression.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

KX2-391

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

• The patient must provide signed informed consent prior to performing any study-related procedures;
• The patient must have histologically or cytologically confirmed prostate adenocarcinoma;
• The patient must have presence of at least one documented osseous metastasis on bone scan;
• The patient must have a castrate testosterone level <50ng/dl within 4 weeks prior to initiation of KX2-391 treatment. If chemically castrate, the patient must also agree to stay on luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist medication for the duration of the study;
• The patient must have documented disease progression as evidenced by one or more of the following 3 criteria:
• Rising PSA, defined as three rising PSA values ≥ 2 weeks apart with the 3rd value 2ng/ml or greater (historical values may be used). Rising PSA must be seen in the 3rd value relative to the 2nd value AND in the 2nd value relative to the 1st value (i.e. two consecutive rises over time muse be noted). Given potential for fluctuations in PSA values, one drop in rising PSA values over time may be seen when determining eligibility. Pre-therapy PSA doubling time may also be calculated (if there are 3 or more values 4 or more weeks apart.
• Evidence of nodal or visceral progression. Progression must be evident within 3 months prior to study entry.
• Radiographic documentation of disease is required by CT (or MRI, when CT is not available)(using RECIST 1.1 criteria) within 4 weeks of study entry.The patient must have at least 1 unidimensionally measurable lesion ≥ 20mm by conventional techniques (i.e., conventional CT or chest x-ray) OR ≥ 10mm by spiral CT scan.Only lymph nodes ≥ 20mm in diameter may be counted.CT is preferred over MRI. The radiographic measurement technique used at Baseline must be serially used throughout the duration of the study.
• Evidence of progression of bone metastases on bone scan. Appearance of ≥ 2 new lesions since the prior scan (prior scan obtained within 3 months of study entry).Documentation of bone metastases by bone scintigraphy (using PCWG2 criteria) within 4 weeks of study entry.

• The patient must have adequate renal function as demonstrated by a creatinine level ≤ 1.5 times the ULN and a creatinine clearance (measured or calculated) ≥ 35 mL/min;
• Patients with partners of child-bearing potential must be willing to abstain from sexual activity or practice physical barrier contraception during study participation and for at least 3 months after completion of KX2-391 treatment;
