Phase II Trial of Transdermal Estradiol for Hormone Refractory Prostate Cancer
- Registration Number
- NCT00176644
- Brief Summary
Multiple trials have shown the efficacy of estrogen therapy in metastatic prostate cancer, and most recently trials have supported the use of transdermal estrogens (patch) in the patient population with a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease as compared to the oral estrogens. We plan to study the use of transdermal estrogen at a dose of 0.4mg qd. We will evaluate the toxicities and measure quality of life. We will assess PSA response and measurable disease response. This will be a trial available to the Cancer Institute of New Jersey Oncology Group. We will enroll a total of 33 patients. We will plan to enroll 10 at CINJ.Patients will wear the patches (4) continuously. We will obtain blood work and clinic evaluations every three weeks. We will assess quality of life through a questionnaire given to patient every three weeks.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Percentage of Patients With PSA Response 3 years PSA Response is a critical outcome measure used to assess the efficacy of treatments for conditions such as prostate cancer. PSA, or Prostate-Specific Antigen. The PSA Response is a measure of the change in PSA levels before and after a specific treatment intervention.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Measurable Disease Response Assessment in Participants With Hormone and Chemotherapy Refractory Prostate Cancer 4 years To Measure Quality of Life of Participants Receiving Therapy With the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Prostate Scale (FACT-P). 3 years Time to Progression 3 years Plateau Level of Estradiol and Testosterone Response in Androgen-Resistant Population With 0.4mg/Day Transdermal Estradiol Patch 3 years
