The Role of Highly Selective Androgen Receptor (AR) Targeted Therapy in Men With Biochemically Relapsed Hormone Sensitive Prostate Cancer

Aragon Pharmaceuticals, Inc.90 enrolled

Overview

The proposed clinical trial will study the effects of 12 months of therapy with ARN-509 alone, or in combination with an LHRH agonist (LHRHa), each compared with LHRHa alone, in men with a rapidly rising serum PSA after prior definitive local therapy for prostate cancer. The endpoints selected reflect measurable short term effects of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), including quality of life and several metabolic parameters. In addition, the relative effect of each treatment strategy on PSA suppression as well as testosterone recovery (and subsequent PSA progression) after 12 months of therapy will be evaluated.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Change From Baseline in Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Prostate (FACT-P) Total Score at 12 Months

FACT-P assesses symptoms/problems related to prostate carcinoma and its treatment. It is a combination of the FACT- General + the Prostate Cancer Subscale (PCS). The FACT-General (FACT-G) is a 27 item Quality of Life (QoL) measure that provides a total score as well as subscale scores: Physical (0-28), Functional (0-28), Social (0-28), and Emotional Well-being (0-24). The total score range is between 1-108, higher scores indicates better for total score and subscale scores. PCS is a 12-item prostate cancer subscale that asks about symptoms and problems specific to prostate cancer (Range 0-48, higher scores better). The FACT-P total score is the sum of all 5 subscale scores of the FACT-P questionnaire and ranges from 0-156. Higher scores indicate higher degree of functioning and better quality of life.

Time frame: Baseline, at 12 months

Secondary Outcomes

Change From Baseline in FACT-P Total Score at 3 and 24 Months

Time frame: Baseline, at 3 and 24 months

Change From Baseline in European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (QLQ-C30) Score at 3, 12 and 24 Months

EORTC QLQ-C30 is a 30 items self-reporting questionnaire resulting in 5 functional scales (physical functioning, role functioning, emotional functioning, cognitive functioning, and social functioning), 1 Global Health Status (GHS) scale, 3 symptom scales (fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and pain), and 6 single symptom items (dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea, and financial difficulties). Questionnaire includes 28 items with 4-point Likert type responses from "1-not at all" to "4-very much" to assess functioning and symptoms; 2 items with 7-point Likert scales (1= poor and 7= excellent) for global health and overall health related quality of life. Scores are transformed to 0 to 100 scale, with higher scores representing better GHS, better functioning, and more symptoms.

Time frame: Baseline, at 3, 12 and 24 months

Change From Baseline in EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire-Prostate 25 (QLQ-PR25) Score at 3, 12 and 24 Months

EORTC QLQ-PR25, a module of the EORTC QLQ-30 questionnaire was used to assess the quality of life. It Consist of 25 questions distributed on 6 domains: urinary symptoms (8 items), incontinence aid (1 item), bowel symptoms (4 items), hormonal treatment-related symptoms (HTRS) (6 items), sexual activity (2 items), and sexual functioning (4 items). Participants answered each of these questions on a 4 point scale (1 'Not at all' to 4 'Very much'). All raw domain scores are linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale, with higher scores reflecting either more symptoms (urinary, bowel, hormonal treatment-related symptoms) or higher levels of activity or functioning (sexual).

Time frame: Baseline, at 3, 12 and 24 months

Change From Baseline in Sexual Health Inventory for Men (SHIM) Total Score at 3, 12, 24 Months

The SHIM is a well validated abridged 5-item of the 15-item International Index of Erectile Function, which has been extensively studied in men with erectile dysfunction due to various etiologies, including prostate cancer-related therapies. It consists of 5 items pertaining to sexual functioning, with scores ranging from 0-5 for most items. The total score is obtained by adding all five item scores, and can range from 5 to 25. Higher scores indicate higher level of sexual function and less erectile dysfunction.

Time frame: Baseline, at 3, 12, 24 months

Time to Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Progression Based on Modified Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group (PCWG2) Criteria

PSA progression was defined as a rise to greater than 50 percent (%) of the baseline serum PSA or rise of 2 nanogram per milliliter (ng/mL) or more above the nadir, whichever is higher, confirmed by repeat measurement at least 2 weeks later.

Percentage of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. An AE can, therefore, be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product, whether or not related to that medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product. Treatment-emergent adverse events are those that occurred between the date of 1st dose of study drug and date of last dose of study drug plus 30 days.

Time frame: From date of 1st dose of study drug to date of last dose of study drug plus 30 days (up to 6 years)
