Studien-Informationen

Detailed Description:

Docetaxel, a semi-synthetic analogue of paclitaxel, is one of the most widely used human

anti-cancer agents. Docetaxel and paclitaxel belong to a group of cytotoxic agents called

taxanes. Docetaxel has been marketed worldwide by Sanofi-Aventis under the trade name

Taxotere® and its use is approved for different types of solid tumors. The efficacy of

docetaxel has been proven in two different phase 3 trials in metastatic castration resistant

prostate cancer (mCRPC) and is a standard of care option for patients with prostate cancer.

In Taxotere®, polysorbate 80 is used as surfactant. Fluid retention and hypersensitivity

reactions are reported, and the patients are pre-treated with corticosteroids, e.g.

dexamethasone, to avoid or at least reduce the frequency and the severity of both

hypersensitivity reactions and fluid retention.

Oasmia Pharmaceutical AB (Uppsala, Sweden) has developed a novel formulation of docetaxel

(Docetaxel micellar) with N-(all-trans-retinoyl)-L-cysteic acid methyl ester sodium salt

(XMeNa) as excipient, thus reducing adverse reactions caused by polysorbate 80. XMeNa forms

micelles into which docetaxel can be incorporated thus increasing its aqueous solubility and

keeping it dissolved.

Rational Treatment with polysorbate 80-solved Docetaxel (Taxotere) is hampered by the

requirement to co-administer steroid pre and post Taxotere infusion. Chronic (intermittent)

steroids are hurting bone health and have well known immunosuppressive effects. Despite

steroid premedication, polysorbate 80-solved Docetaxel (Taxotere) results in occasional

infusion reactions due to the solvent polysorbate 80. The new micellar formulation of

docetaxel is a promising alternative to polysorbate 80-solved Docetaxel (Taxotere) as it

avoids the mandatory need for steroid administration pre and post infusion, and thus avoids

immunosuppressive and bone-damaging effects.

Safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of Docetaxel micellar have been assessed in 2 clinical

studies, but only in breast cancer patients. This is the first clinical trial to assess the

safety and tolerability of 3-weekly intravenous Docetaxel micellar infusions in patients with

mCRPC.

The primary objective of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the

recommended phase II dose (RP2D) for Docetaxel micellar in patients with mCRPC.

Studien-Rationale

Primary outcome:

1. Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) (Time Frame - at the end of Cycle 1 (each cycle is 21 days)):
DLT is defined as the occurrence of any of a set of specified hematological, hepatic, gastro-intestinal, nervous systems disorders, fluid retention or other adverse events (AEs) which: occur during cycle 1 of the trial treatment defined as the DLT monitoring period is considered by the Investigator or the Sponsor to be at least possibly related to the IMP.

Secondary outcome:

1. Radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) (Time Frame - from date of treatment start to date of radiographic progression, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 36 months):
rPFS is defined as the time from treatment start to radiographic progression, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. The assessment of radiographic disease progression is based on local evaluations.

2. Time to PSA progression (Time Frame - from date of treatment start to date of PSA progression, or start of a subsequent anticancer treatment, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 36 months):
Time to PSA progression is defined as the time from treatment start to the time point of PSA progression. The PSA progression date is defined as the date of ≥ 25% increase AND ≥ 2 ng/mL increase above the nadir, confirmed by a second value ≥ 3 weeks later, if there is PSA decline from baseline (last PSA measurement before treatment start), or ≥ 25% increase AND ≥ 2 ng/mL increase from baseline beyond 12 weeks if there is no PSA decline from baseline Time to PSA progression is defined as the time from treatment start to the time point of PSA progression. The PSA progression date is defined as the date of ≥ 25% increase AND ≥ 2 ng/mL increase above the nadir, confirmed by a second value ≥ 3 weeks later, if there is PSA decline from baseline (last PSA measurement before treatment start), or ≥ 25% increase AND ≥ 2 ng/mL increase from baseline beyond 12 weeks if there is no PSA decline from baseline

3. PSA response (Time Frame - from date of treatment start to date of end of treatment, assessed up to 30 weeks):
PSA response is defined as a PSA decline of ≥ 50% from baseline measured twice at least 3 weeks apart during treatment.

4. Partial (PR) or complete (CR) radiological soft tissue response according to RECIST 1.1 (Time Frame - from date of treatment start to date of end of treatment, assessed up to 30 weeks):
Partial (PR) or complete (CR) radiological soft tissue response achieved according to RECIST 1.1 criteria. Patients without any response assessment during trial treatment will be considered as having a non-evaluable response (NE) and thus will be regarded as failure for this endpoint.

5. Duration of response (DoR) according to RECIST 1.1 (Time Frame - from date of response to date of disease progression according to RECIST 1.1 or death, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 36 months):
DoR is defined as the time from the earliest date of the first documented evidence of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) until earliest date of disease progression according to RECIST 1.1 or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Patients not experiencing an event at the time of the analysis, as well as patients starting a subsequent anticancer treatment in the absence of an event, will be censored at the date of their last available tumor assessment before starting a subsequent anticancer treatment, if any.

6. Adverse Events (Time Frame - From registration until 28 days after last dose of trial treatment):
AEs will be assessed according to the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE v5.0).

Geprüfte Regime
