Registration Number
NCT05513365
Lead Sponsor
Radboud University Medical Center
Brief Summary

Phase 2 clinical trial on the addition of dutasteride to combined androgen blockade (CAB) therapy in recurrent and/or metastatic (R/M) salivary duct carcinoma (SDC) patients.

The study included two cohorts of patients: Cohort A, which comprises ADT-naïve patients, and Cohort B, which comprises ADT-resistant patients.

Cohort A is closed for inclusion as of April 18, 2024.

Detailed Description

A prospective, randomized controlled, single-institution, phase II clinical trial to assess the objective response rate (ORR), duration of response (DoR), progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), toxicity, quality of life (QoL), and expression of molecular targets of patients with R/M SDC treated with either combined androgen blockade (CAB; goserelin + bicalutamide) or CAB + dutasteride, Participants in Cohort A will be randomized 1:1 at the study entry to receive CAB (goserelin 10.8 mg/3months + bicalutamide 50 mg/once daily) or CAB + dutasteride (0.5 mg/once daily). Participants will receive treatment until until progressive disease, intolerable toxicity, or investigator and/or patient decision to withdraw.

Cohort A is closed for inclusion as of April 18, 2024.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall Response Rate (ORR)From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 2 years

Response will be measured according to RECIST version 1.1, the ORR is defined as the sum of the complete remissions plus partial responses. The best response will be used in each patient.

Duration of Response (DoR)From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 2 years

Response will be measured according to RECIST version 1.1, the DoR is defined as the time from first tumor assessment at which the overall response was recorded as partial response (PR) or complete response (CR) that is subsequently confirmed until documented progressive disease (PD) or death form any cause, whichever occurs first.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Quality of Life (QoL) based on the EORTC QLQ-SHQ22 questionnaireFrom date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 2 years

Quality of Life (QoL) based on the EORTC QLQ-SHQ22 questionnaire. Participants are asked to fill in the questionnaires in week 0 (before start of treatment, baseline), every 12 weeks, and at PD.

Pain level assessed by the VAS (visual analog scale) questionnaireFrom date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 2 years

Scale range 0-10, in which a higher score represents more pain. Participants are asked to fill in the questionnaires in week 0 (before start of treatment, baseline), every 12 weeks, and at PD.

Adverse Events according to CTCAE v5.0From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 2 years

Adverse events will be recorded using International Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 5.0, the investigator will assess whether those events are drug related. Every OPD visit (every 3 months until PD)

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) levelsthrough study completion, estimated after 3 years

ctDNA levels will be assessed to evaluate whether treatment response and disease progression can be predicted. Baseline, 3 months, 6 months, and at PD.

mRNA expression levels of AR and AR splice variantsthrough study completion, estimated after 3 years

mRNA expression of AR and AR splice variants on baseline and post-treatment tumor tissue samples to evaluate whether treatment response and disease progression can be predicted. Pre-treatment and post-treatment (i.e. PD)

mRNA expression levels of SRD5A1/SRD5A2through study completion, estimated after 3 years

mRNA expression of SRD5A1/SRD5A2 on baseline and post-treatment tumor tissue samples to evaluate whether treatment response and disease progression can be predicted. Pre-treatment and post-treatment (i.e. PD)

Clinical benefit rate (CBR)From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 2 years

Response will be measured according to RECIST version 1.1, the CBR is defined as the confirmed CR or PR at any time or stable disease (SD) of at least 6 months. Every 12 weeks a CT/MRI scan will be made to asses the clinical benefit rate until PD.

Overall survival (OS)From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 3 years

The OS is defined as the time from study enrolment to the date of death to any cause.

Response will be measured according to RECIST version 1.1, the PFS is defined as the time from study enrolment until date of first documented disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.Every 12 weeks a CT/MRI scan will be made to asses the progression free survival until PD.
