Effect of Triptorelin (Decapeptyl®) 22.5 mg on Two Biomarkers in Patients With Advanced Prostate Cancer

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Prostate Cancer
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT01020448
Lead Sponsor
Ipsen
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of an initial hormonal treatment gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH Agonist) on 2 biomarkers (PCA3 and TMPRSS2-ERG), in patients with histologically confirmed and advanced stages of prostate cancer. Their characteristics, according to risk factors such as PSA and Gleason score will be determined at baseline and 1, 3 and 6 month post-treatment.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
PCA3 Score Expressed as a Ratio of PCA3 mRNA (Messenger Ribonucleic Acid) Over PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) mRNAAt month 6 post-treatment

PCA-3 score = (mRNA PCA3/mRNA PSA)x1000

* Non-assessable = Associated PSA mRNA \<7500 copies/mL

* ≤BLQ = PCA-3 mRNA is below the concentration of the calibrator and associated PSA mRNA \>7500 copies/mL

* \<35 = PCA-3 mRNA above BLQ and less than 35

* ≥35 = PCA-3 mRNA greater or equal to 35

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
PCA3 Score Expressed as a Ratio of PCA3 mRNA Over PSA mRNAAt month 1 and 3 post-treatment

PCA-3 score = (mRNA PCA3/mRNA PSA)x1000

* Non-assessable = Associated PSA mRNA \<7500 copies/mL

* ≤BLQ = PCA-3 mRNA is below the concentration of the calibrator and associated PSA mRNA \>7500 copies/mL

* \<35 = PCA-3 mRNA above BLQ and less than 35

* ≥35 = PCA-3 mRNA greater or equal to 35

TMPRSS2-ERG Score (Expressed as a Ratio of T2-ERG mRNA Over PSA mRNA)At baseline, month 1, 3 and 6 post-treatment

TMPRSS2-ERG = (TMPRSS2-ERG mRNA / PSA mRNA) x 100000

A TMPRSS2-ERG score \<35 was described as 'negative' and a TMPRSS2-ERG score ≥35 as 'positive.'

PSA LevelAt baseline, month 1, 3 and 6 post-treatment
Proportion of Patients Medically Castrated (i.e. With Serum Testosterone Levels of <50 ng/dL)At month 1, 3 and 6 post-treatment
Safety, Assessed Through the Collection of Adverse Events (AEs)For the duration of the study (up to month 6)
