Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The purpose of this clinical research study is to determine whether OGX-427 is able to slow the progression of prostate cancer and symptoms of disease when given with prednisone better than when prednisone is given alone in patients with prostate cancer whose disease has spread outside the prostate area.
Research Hypothesis:
That adding OGX-427 to prednisone treatment will produce a progression free rate of 20%.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Patients with metastatic disease have a poor prognosis, and although hormonal therapy in the form of medical or surgical castration can induce significant long-term remissions, development of androgen independent disease is inevitable. The current standard of care for CRPC is mainly palliative in its intent, and there are only limited proven treatment options which include: analgesia, radiation, bisphosphonates and chemotherapy such as mitoxantrone or docetaxel, with only the last treatment being associated with an overall survival benefit.
With the early commencement of androgen deprivation therapy and frequent use of PSA for monitoring disease progression, an increasing population of patients with CRPC is now being identified by a rising PSA rather than by new disease or symptoms. Early intervention with chemotherapy is of unknown benefit in these patients, and thus represents an appropriate group for phase II studies to evaluate novel agents with acceptable toxicity profiles.
Heat shock protein (Hsp) family members, including Hsp27, have attracted attention as new therapeutic targets for cancer. Hsp27 is a small, ATP-independent Hsp which is highly conserved across species. Hsp27 is expressed in prostate cancer and other malignancies. Expression of Hsp27 is induced by cell stress, including cytotoxic chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and hormone therapy. Overexpression of Hsp27 confers a resistant phenotype and is implicated in castration resistant progression of prostate cancer.
OGX 427 is a second generation antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) that inhibits expression of Hsp27. A number of in vitro and in vivo pharmacological studies have demonstrated that OGX 427 (or an Hsp27 ASO) has single-agent activity in reducing Hsp27 mRNA and protein, inhibiting cell proliferation, and inducing apoptosis in several human cancer cell lines. OGX 427 has also demonstrated chemosensitizing activity both in vitro and in vivo in combination with several cytotoxic drugs, including docetaxel. In an ongoing Phase I trial, OGX-427 has been administered as a single agent in doses from 200 to 1000 mg with weekly infusions occurring after a loading dose period of three infusions within the first 10 days of initiating treatment. OGX-427 treatment has been well tolerated, with the majority of the adverse events and laboratory toxicities reported being Grade 1 or Grade 2, although a symptom complex of rigors, pruritus, and erythema during or shortly after infusion of drug has required steroid prophylaxis and/or treatment in some patients at higher doses. No maximum tolerated dose has been identified based on toxicity. OGX 427 administration in combination with docetaxel is ongoing in the above-mentioned Phase 1 study.
Low dose corticosteroids have been shown to have some activity against prostate cancer with a beneficial effect on quality of life (QOL). Since chemotherapy for prostate cancer is palliative, low-dose prednisone has been used both as a single agent and added to chemotherapy regimens.
This Phase 2 study has been designed to evaluate the anti-tumor effects of OGX-427 plus low-dose prednisone versus low-dose prednisone alone in men with CRPC who have not previously received chemotherapy for metastatic or locally recurrent disease.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* ECOG performance status of 0 or 1.
* Histological or cytological diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the prostate.
* Metastatic disease on chest, abdominal, or pelvic CT and/or bone scan for which no curative therapy exists.
* Progression of prostate cancer. Progression is defined by one or more of the following:
1. Increasing serum PSA level: two consecutive increases in PSA levels documented over a previous reference value obtained at least one week apart. If the third PSA value is less than the second, an additional fourth test to confirm a rising PSA is acceptable. The last confirmation PSA value must be obtained within the 14 days prior to randomization. A minimum starting value of 2.0 ng/mL is required for study randomization.
2. Progressive measurable disease: at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of measurable lesions over the smallest sum observed or the appearance of one or more new lesions as assessed by CT scan. Measurable lesions are nodal or visceral soft-tissue lesions with nodal lesions ≥ 15 mm in diameter at the shortest axis and visceral/soft-tissue lesions ≥ 10 mm in longest diameter (See Section 6.4).
3. Bone Progression: appearance of 2 or more new lesions on bone scan (or other imaging).
* All patients who have not had a surgical orchiectomy must continue treatment with LHRH agonist or antagonist to maintain a castrate level of testosterone.
* Patient must fulfill "Prior Therapy" criteria as follows:
1. Chemotherapy: No prior chemotherapy for metastatic disease is permissible. (Exception: neoadjuvant/adjuvant chemotherapy if received \> 12 months prior to randomization.)
2. Hormone therapy: prior surgical or medical castration therapy is required. Prior treatment with non-steroidal antiandrogens, abiraterone or other experimental hormone therapy (e.g. MDV3100, YAK-700) is allowed provided a minimum of at least 14 days have passed since completing therapy and randomization in the study.
3. Experimental therapy: prior non-cytotoxic experimental therapy is permitted provided a minimum of at least 14 days has passed since completing therapy prior to randomization.
4. Radiation: prior external beam radiation is permitted provided a minimum of at least 28 days have passed since completing radiotherapy at the time of randomization (or following disease progression and prior to receiving therapy at the time of cross-over). Exception for radiotherapy: at least 7 days must have passed since completing single fraction of ≤ 800 cGy.
5. Corticosteroids: prior corticosteroid therapy is permitted. Within 4 days following randomization, all patients must be taking prednisone 5 mg BID.
* Baseline laboratory values as stated below:
1. ANC ≥ 1.5 x 109 cells /L, platelet count ≥ .100 x 109 /L, and hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL without transfusion.
2. Creatinine ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN).
3. Total bilirubin ≤ 1.1 x ULN (unless elevated secondary to conditions such as Gilbert's disease).
4. SGPT (ALT) and SGOT (AST) ≤ 2.5 x ULN.
5. Castrate serum testosterone level (\< 50 ng/dL-or-\< 1.7 nmol/L).
