- NCT01666314
- Lead Sponsor
- Millennium Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
- Brief Summary
This is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiregional Phase1/2 study to characterize the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic responses to orteronel when administered concomitantly with prednisone in Chemotherapy-Naive Participants With Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer
- Detailed Description
The drug being tested in this study is called orteronel. Orteronel is being tested to treat adult males who have adenocarcinoma of the prostate. This study will look at the pharmacokinetics (how the drug moves through the body) and pharmacodynamics (how the drug effects the body) in people who take orteronel in addition to prednisone.
The study will enroll approximately 144 patients. Participants will be randomly assigned (by chance, like flipping a coin) to one of the eight treatment groups (4 in Japan, 4 in Ex-Japan) which will remain undisclosed to the participant and study doctor during the study (unless there is an urgent medical need).
In Japan:
Participants were randomized in a ratio of 2:1:2:1
* 200 mg orteronel or Placebo-matching orteronel \[(dummy inactive pill) - this is a tablet that looks like the study drug but has no active ingredient\] twice daily (BID) + prednisone
* 300 mg orteronel, or Placebo-matching orteronel, BID + prednisone Ex-Japan Participants were randomized in a ratio of 2:1:2:1
* 200 mg orteronel or Placebo-matching orteronel, BID in Cycle 1 + prednisone
* 400 mg orteronel, or Placebo-matching orteronel ,BID in Cycle 1 + Prednisone
Participants initially randomized to placebo received 4 weeks of placebo and then 12 weeks of active treatment with orteronel then entered a follow-up period treatment period. Participants initially randomized to orteronel received 16 weeks of treatment then entered a follow-up treatment period.
This multi-centre trial will be conducted worldwide. The overall time to participate in this study is approximately 3.2 years. Participants will make multiple visits to the clinic and a final visit 30 to 40 days after receiving their last dose of study drug for a follow-up assessment.

Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) From signing of the informed consent form through 30 days after the last dose of study drug, approximately 3.2 years An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (eg, a clinically significant abnormal laboratory finding),symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a drug, whether or not it is considered related to the drug. A treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) is defined as an adverse event with an onset that occurs after receiving study A serious adverse event is any experience that suggests a significant hazard, contraindication, side effect or precaution that: results in death, is life-threatening, required in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect or is medically significant.
