NCT ID NCT00859781

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests whether a radioactive antibody called 177Lu-J591, combined with the hormone-blocking drug ketoconazole, can prevent prostate cancer from spreading in high-risk patients. The study enrolls 55 men whose PSA is rising despite hormone therapy but who have no visible metastases. The main goal is to see how many remain free of detectable spread after 18 months.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
177Lu-J591 (a radioactive antibody) and ketoconazole (a hormone-blocking drug)
What this could lead to
If this works, it could offer a new way to delay or prevent the spread of prostate cancer in high-risk patients whose PSA is rising despite hormone therapy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 55 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The combination therapy can cause side effects like low blood counts and fatigue.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate previously treated with surgery and/or radiotherapy. * Biochemical progression (rising PSA) after medical or surgical castration * High risk of systemic progression defined as: 1. Rising PSA as defined above and either: 2. Absolute PSA \> 20 ng/mL AND/OR 3. PSA doubling time \< 8 months * No evidence of local recurrence or distant metastases * Age \>18 years. * Serum testosterone \< 50 ng/ml * Patients capable of fathering children must agree to use an effective method of contraception for the duration of the trial. * Subjects on bisphosphonate therapy must be on a stable dose and must have started therapy \> 4 weeks prior to protocol therapy. * Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document. Exclusion Criteria: * Use of red blood cell or platelet transfusions within 4 weeks of treatment * Use of hematopoietic growth factors within 4 weeks of treatment * Prior cytotoxic chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy within 4 weeks of treatment * Prior radiation therapy encompassing \>25% of skeleton (see Appendix C) * Prior treatment with 89Strontium or 153Samarium containing compounds (e.g. Metastron®, Quadramet®) * Platelet count \<150,000/mm3 or known primary qualitative platelet disorder * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \<2,000/mm3 * Hematocrit \<30 percent and Hemoglobin \< 10 g/dL * Abnormal coagulation profile (PT or INR, PTT \> 1.3x ULN) unless on therapeutic anticoagulation - see concomitant meds section * Serum creatinine \>2.5 mg/dL * AST (SGOT) \>2x ULN * Bilirubin (total) \>1.5x ULN; subjects with Gilbert's syndrome will be allowed if direct bilirubin is within institutional normal limits * Active serious infection * Active angina pectoris or NY Heart Association Class III-IV * ECOG Performance Status \> 2 * Life expectancy \<12 months * History of deep vein thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolus within 1 month of study entry * Other serious illness(es) involving the cardiac, respiratory, CNS, renal, hepatic or hematological organ systems which might preclude completion of this study or interfere with determination of causality of any adverse effects experienced in this study * Prior investigational therapy (medications or devices) within 4 weeks of treatment. Furthermore, other investigational therapy is not permitted during the treatment phase. * Prior use of ketoconazole for the purposes of prostate cancer therapy for greater than 1 month * Known history of HIV. The effects of J591 are unknown in this population. Furthermore, ketoconazole has many well-described drug-drug interactions which could affect antiviral therapy. If necessary, this population will be studied separately. * Currently active other malignancy other than non-melanoma skin cancer. Patients are considered not to have "currently active" malignancy if they have completed any necessary therapy and are considered by their physician to be at less than 30% risk of relapse. \- Known history of known myelodysplastic syndrome * Adrenal hormone inhibitors (other than ketoconazole) within 4 weeks prior to study enrollment * Finasteride (Propecia® or Proscar®) or dutasteride (Avodart®) within 4 weeks of enrollment * Patients on corticosteroids prior to enrollment must have either discontinued and shown biochemical progression or have biochemical progression on a stable dose
