Fulvestrant in Treating Patients With Recurrent Prostate Cancer
- Registration Number
- NCT00217464
- Lead Sponsor
- Roswell Park Cancer Institute
- Brief Summary
RATIONALE: Estrogen may cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Hormone therapy using fulvestrant may fight prostate cancer by blocking the use of estrogen by the tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well fulvestrant works in treating patients with recurrent prostate cancer.
- Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
* Determine whether fulvestrant can slow the rise of prostrate-specific antigen (PSA) level in patients with early recurrent adenocarcinoma of the prostate after radical prostatectomy or irradiation.
Secondary
* Determine the utility of monitoring serum PSA in patients treated with this drug.
* Determine the safety of this drug in these patients.
* Determine changes in bone mineral density and markers of bone resorption in patients with PSA-only failure treated with this drug.
OUTLINE: This is an open-label, single group assignment study.
Patients receive fulvestrant intramuscularly on days 0, 14, and 28. Treatment repeats once a month in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 32 patients will be accrued for this study for 84 months.

Group Intervention Description Fulvestrant fulvestrant Fulvestrant will be provided as 250 mg in 5 mL as a pre-tilled syringe. Fulvestrant will be administered as 500 mg, that is, 2 injections of 5 mL, one into each buttock im on day 0. A single 250 mg in 5 mL injection will be administered on day 14 followed by a single 250 mg in 5 mL dose on day 28 and monthly thereafter.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Proportion of Patients Who Respond to Treatment. 90, 60, and 30 days pre-treatment, the day of start therapy (day 0) and 30, 60 and 90 days post-treatment Response is defined to be the clear slowing of the rate of increase of PSA levels with time
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Number of Participants With Progressive Disease at Day +90 90, 60, and 30 days pre-treatment, the day of start therapy (day 0) and 30, 60 and 90 days post-treatment Progressive Disease is defined as failure to achieve a statistically significant decrease in PSA rise after the day +90 PSA value
