Trial of NRX 194204 in Castration- and Taxane-Resistant Prostate Cancer
- Registration Number
- NCT01540071
- Lead Sponsor
- Io Therapeutics
- Brief Summary
This study is to evaluate the benefits of investigational drug, NRX 194204 in slowing down/stopping/reversing progression of the castration resistant and taxane resistant prostate cancer.
- Detailed Description
Numerous studies in pre-clinical models and in human clinical trials have clearly established the potential for the use of rexinoids in the treatment and prevention of cancer. NRX 194204, a second generation rexinoid, is a highly potent and specific activator of RXRs (retinoid X receptors). Because NRX 194204 is significantly more selective for the RXRs relative to the RARs (retinoic acid receptors) than a first generation approved drug, it is associated with fewer adverse events in clinical use. This study seeks to investigate NRX 194204 monotherapy in patients with castration- and taxane- resistant prostate cancer.

- Arm && Interventions
Group Intervention Description NRX 194204 NRX 194204 This was a single arm open-label study. All patients enrolled received 20 mg of IRX4204 per day orally, for six months, or longer if the patient had disease stabilization and was tolerating the experimental treatment.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Clinical Benefit of NRX 194204 in Men With Castration- and Taxane-resistant Metastatic Prostate Cancer participants will be followed for the duration of treatment and follow up, which is up to 2.5 years Clinical benefit will be defined as either non-progression at 8 weeks or radiologic and/or PSA response at any time point with no dose limiting toxicity (DLT) or other toxicity requiring termination of treatment.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Overall Survival participants will be followed for the duration of treatment and follow up, which is up to 2.5 years Overall Survival \[Time Frame: participants will be followed for the duration of treatment and follow up, which is up to 2.5 years\]
Time to Disease Progression participants were to be followed for the duration of treatment and follow up; for up to 2.5 years from baseline Time to Disease Progression was evaluated according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guidelines, version 1.1. Progression was defined as at least a 20% relative increase and an absolute increase of at least 5mm; or appearance of new lesions.
Number of Grade 3 and Higher Adverse Events Deemed at Least Possibly Related to NRX 194204 participants will be followed for the duration of treatment and follow up, which is up to 2.5 years Number of Grade 3 and higher Adverse Events deemed at least possibly related to NRX 194204
PSA Response Rate participants will be followed for the duration of treatment and follow up, which is up to 2.5 years Prostate specific Antigen (PSA) response rate based on 50% reduction from baseline PSA
