Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   44237   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7338   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of the GETUG15 study is to compare the 3-year overall survival (OS) of metastatic prostate cancers patients treated with first-line chemotherapy (docetaxel) + androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) to those treated only with ADT.
    Protection of trial subjects
    In order to ensure the protection of the rights, safety and well-being of trial subjects, this clinical trial was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki (1964) and subsequent amendments, ICH Good Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPMP/ICH/135/95), the European Directive (2001/20/CE) and the applicable local regulatory requirements and laws. Furthermore, an independent Ethics Committees reviewed and gave a favorable opinion to the study documents, including the initial protocol and all subsequent amendments, and all information and documents provided to subjects/patients. Written informed consent was obtained from all patients prior to enrollment.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    GETUG 15 is a A multicentre, randomized, open-label phase III study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of docetaxel combined with hormone therapy compared to hormone therapy alone in HSMPC. 385 patients were included form 18-Oct-2004 to 31-Dec-2008.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    The study consisted of a screening phase of up to 30 days before treatment initiation to establish eligibility and document baseline measurements, a treatment phase (21-day cycle), and a long-term follow-up to monitor overall survival, clinical progression, quality of life, and safety.

    Arm description
    Patients were randomly allocated to receive Docetaxel once every 3 weeks until disease progression for a maximum of 9 cycles (1 cycle = 3 weeks). The following hormone therapies were allowed during the study either: * LHRH agonist (Zoladex®) * Surgical castration * Complete androgen blockage (CAB): combination of LHRH agonist (Zoladex®) and peripheral antiandrogen (Anandron®). The hormone therapy started less than 2 months before docetaxel treatment initiation. The hormone treatment and docetaxel treatment could have been initiated at the same time. The hormone treatment was continued until androgen resistance.

    The date of clinical progression was defined as the date of the first investigation (bone scintigraphy, pelvic scan or MRI, etc.) to show clinical progression. In the absence PSA level increase, clinical progression on scintigraphy was considered when one or several new lesions appeared. In patients with measurable lesions, clinical progression was defined using RECIST 1.0. In patients with bone lesions only, disease progression was defined as the appearance of one or more new bone lesions on bone scan.

    End point description
    The biological/laboratory progression was evaluated using two definitions: Using the Prostate Working Group 1 definition: * For subjects without a decrease in PSA levels, or with a decrease in PSA levels of <50%, progression was defined as a 25% increase from the nadir with a minimum increase in absolute value of 5 ng/mL. A progression was confirmed by a second sample. * For subjects who had a response in PSA levels of >50% confirmed by a second sample 1 month later, progression was defined as an increase of >50% in relation to the nadir with a minimum increase in absolute value of 5 ng/mL. A progression was confirmed by a second sample. Using the recommendations of the Prostate Working Group 2: Increase in the PSA level of 25% with respect to nadir and with an absolute increase of ≥2 ng/mL: * After 12 weeks for the patients whose PSA levels did not decrease or decreased <50%. * For patients whose PSA levels decrease ≥50%.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    20 Sep 2004
    The chemotherapy used in the study for Arm A was changed from docetaxel with estramustine to only docetaxel.
    12 Oct 2005
    G-CSF was administrated to patients in the experimental arm to prevent docetaxel-induced severe neutropenia. Following an increase in the frequency of thromboembolic events and abnormal death rates in other studies evaluating the use of growth factors in cancer patients. The French Competent authority and the EMEA demanded that the protocol and patient’s information sheet be modified to take into account the new administration rules for Aranesp®.
    06 Jul 2007
    Following an IDMC and after the accrual of 215 subjects, 2 treatment-related deaths were reported in Arm A, due to neutropenic fever and pulmonary embolism. The independent data monitoring committee recommended the systematic administration of granulocytes colony-stimulating factors (G-CSF) from day 5 to day 10 at each docetaxel cycle.

    Interruptions (globally)

    Were there any global interruptions to the trial? No

    Limitations and caveats

    Limitations of the trial such as small numbers of subjects analysed or technical problems leading to unreliable data.
    The investigators underestimated OS in the ADT group and overestimated potential difference in term of survival for the sample size calculation. Thus the study did not have sufficient power to show a small difference in OS.
