TAK-700 in Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer

This is an interventional treatment trial for Prostate Cancer focused on measuring metastatic, prostate cancer Read More

Inclusion criteria:

• Histologically confirmed diagnosis of prostate adenocarcinoma
• Metastatic disease in bone or other lesions documented by imaging. Abnormal 99mTc-bone scan imaging must be confirmed by Computed Tomography (CT) Scan or Magnetic resonance Imaging (MRI)
• Progressive disease following 1st line androgen deprivation therapy with LHRH (luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone) Agonists or surgical castration. Recommendations of Prostate Cancer Working Group 2 (PCWG2)
• WHO (World health organization) performance status ≤ 2
• Life expectancy > 12 weeks
• Adequate bone marrow function (Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) 1500/μL; platelets 100,000/μL)
• Castrate serum levels of testosterone (< 50 ng/dL)
• Adequate renal function: calculated creatinine clearance > 40 mL/minute

• Adequate hepatic function:

  • Bilirubin: total bilirubin 1.5 Upper limit of Normal (ULN)
  • Asparate aminotransferase (AST) and/or Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 x ULN in the absence of liver metastases or ≤ 5 x ULN if liver metastases are present
• Patients of reproductive potential should use adequate birth control measures, as defined by the investigator, during the study treatment period and for at least 4 months following the last study treatment. A highly effective method of birth control is defined as those that result in low failure rate (i.e. less than 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly
• Before patient registration/randomization, written informed consent must be given according to ICH/GCP (International conference on Harmonization-Good Clinical Practices), and national/local regulations

Exclusion criteria

• Cardiac function:

  • Screening calculated ejection fraction (Multi Gated Acquisition Scan (MUGA) scan, or by echocardiogram) must be ≥ 50%
  • No history of myocardial infarction, unstable symptomatic ischemic heart disease, ongoing arrhythmias of Grade > 2 thromboembolic events (e.g., deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, or symptomatic cerebrovascular events), or any other cardiac condition (e.g., pericardial effusion restrictive cardiomyopathy) within 6 months prior to first dose of study drug
  • Chronic stable atrial fibrillation on stable anticoagulant therapy is allowed
  • Absence of New York Heart Association Class III or IV heart failure
  • Absence of Electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities of: Q-wave infarction, unless identified 6 or more months prior to screening and QTc interval > 470 msec
  • No uncontrolled hypertension despite appropriate medical therapy defined as blood pressure >160/90 mmHg at 2 separate measurements no more than 60 minutes apart during the Screening visit
• Prior radiotherapy but only for lymph nodes is allowed

• Prior or concomitant therapy:

  • No intake of narcotic analgesia for bone pain
  • No prior treatment with non-steroidal antiandrogens, within 6 months prior to randomization
  • No anticancer therapy or treatment with another investigational agent within the last 4 weeks prior to randomization
  • No prior therapy with TAK-700, ketoconazole, abiraterone, aminoglutethimide or MDV3100
  • Patients taking bisphosphonates or denosumab are eligible if they have received a stable dose for 4 weeks or more prior to randomization. (These treatments may then be continued on study)
• No known hypersensitivity to compounds related to TAK-700 or to TAK-700 excipients (refer to Investigator's brochure)
• No known gastrointestinal (GI) disease or GI procedure that could interfere with the GI absorption or tolerance of TAK-700, including difficulty swallowing tablets
• No prior history of adrenal insufficiency
• No prior history of malignancies other than prostate adenocarcinoma (except for basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin), or the patient has been free of malignancy for a period of 3 years prior to first dose of study drug
• No known active chronic hepatitis B or C, life-threatening illness unrelated to cancer, or any serious medical or psychiatric illness that could, in the investigator's opinion, potentially interfere with participation in this study
• No drug or alcohol abuse
• Absence of any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule; those conditions should be discussed with the patient before registration in the trial
