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   43865   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7286   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
    To characterize and to quantify the histopathologhical changes in the surgical specimens obtained in patients undergoing prostatectomy in addition to imaging changes (MRI) following a single injection of Liproca® Depot in patients with localized prostate cancer.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Patients were observered in the clinics during the study visits. Physical examination and vital signs were taken at study start and end of study, while blood samples for Clinical Chemistry and hematology were taken at all visits. These safety lab data were continuously reviewed by PI for changes and abnormalities.
    Background therapy
    None.
    Evidence for comparator

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    The study contains two parts; Part I First Patient Visit 09 MAY 2912, Last Patient Visit 17 JUL 2013. After completion, an extention with Part II was done. Part II FPV 17 DEC 2014, LPV 18 MAY 2015. Two sites; Tampere University Hospital (Dept. of Surgery) and Uppsala University Hospital (Dept. of Urology) participated in both parts of the study.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    The study population was men, between 50 and 75 years, with localized prostate cancer (T1c,T2a-c; Gleason score equal to, or less than, 3+4; PSA less than 20 ng/ml), verified by biopsy with no previous or on-going hormone therapy for prostate cancer. 18 pts were enrolled for Part I and 5 pts for Part II. Part I: 600-2000 mg Part II: 1800-2400 mg

    Dosage and administration details
    The formulation consists of two sterile Components, one aqueous liquid (Liproca Diluent) and a dry powder, containing the active drug pre-filled in a mixer container (Liproca Powder). The two components are, prior to injection, mixed under aspetic conditions to a paste, which will be transfered to a syringe, and administrated with injection into the prostate. For Part I, a dose of 600-2000 mg 2-HOF was planned as single dose (corresponding to 3-10 ml ready-mixed paste). When decidingthe total and individual dose to be injected, the total prostate volume, number of foci and total tumour volume were taken into consideration in each patient. The individual dosing strategy was developed based on information from biopsies and imaging. Guieline was 1.5 ml of ready-mixed paste per 10 ml prostate volume, with a maximum amount of 10 ml prepared paste totally. Local injection of ready-mixed paste, administrated via rectum and with ultrasound guidance, in and around major tumour foci.

For Part II, the target dose of Liproca Depot was 1800-2400 mg corresponding to approximately 30% of the prostate volume. When deciding the individual dose to be injected, the total prostate volumem number of tumour foci and total tumour volume were taken into consideration in each patient. If tumour were found in both lobes, the distribution of paste shoule be related to the amount of tumour in each lobe. Local injection of ready-mixed paste, administrated via rectum and with ultrasound guidance, in and around major tumour foci.

    Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) in index lesion by MRI [8]
    End point description
    Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measures the magnitude of water diffusion within tissue. An increased value for ADC indicates an anti-androgen effect, as a decreased cell density in tumour tissue results in an increased magnitude of water diffusion. Images for measuring ADC was collected at baseline (Day 1) and End of Study (after 6 or 8 weeks), both in index lesion (site of main tumour in prostate) and in non-index lesion (other sites of tumour tissue in prostate).

    Size of index lesion by MRI [10] [11]
    End point description
    Only descriptive data available from Part I of the study. The median size of index lesion in the prostate for 13 measurable patient was 1.40 cm (length), 0.90 cm (width) and 1.20 m (height). There were only 4 patients who had measurements also at week 6, none showed a significant change of the tumour size.

    Notes
    [10] - No statistical analyses have been specified for this primary end point. It is expected there is at least one statistical analysis for each primary end point.
    Justification: No statistical analysis was done for the study. Only descriptive results available.
    [11] - The end point is not reporting statistics for all the arms in the baseline period. It is expected all the baseline period arms will be reported on when providing values for an end point on the baseline period.
    Justification: Data has only been reported for patients in Part II. No summary results available.

    End point title
    (Cho+PA+Cr)/Cit spectral intensity ratio - 2D MRSI
    End point description
    Intraprostatic tumour growth is associated with increased cell membrane turnover and increased cell proliferation, which lead to altered relative concentrations of certain metabolities included creatine (Cr), choline (Cho), polyamines (PA) and citrate (Cit), most specifically an increase in choline and a decrease in citrate. The effect of Liproca Depot was assessed by quantification of (Cho+PA+Cr)/Cit before treatment (baseline) and after treatment (week 6, or week 8).

    End point description
    The variables (Cho+PA+Cr)/H20 spectral intensity ratio and Cit/H2O spectral intensity ratio before and after treatment were added as a complement to the variable (Cho+PA+Cr)/Cit . The difference in (Cho+PA+Cr)/Cit may be difficult to evalute if the Cit and PA concentrations decrease close to the noise level, the Cho concentration increases and the Cr concentration change is small. The H2O concentration is not expected to change before and after treatment, why changes in these ratios may be reliable.
