General information about the trial
|
|||
Main objective of the trial |
The objectives of the study SP003 were to evaluate prostate-specific antigen (PSA) doubling time (PSADT) in patients in the immunotherapy group and in the control group in the treatment phase of the study; to compare PSADT measured in the treatment phase with PSADT prior to randomization in patients in both groups; to evaluate PSADT in patients in the immunotherapy group and in the control group in the follow-up phase of the study; to monitor the incidence of adverse events (AEs); to determine the proportion of patients with biochemical relapse, progressive increase in PSA, objective disease progression, or further anticancer therapy introduction within 2 years of randomization; and to compare overall survival (OS) between the two groups.

Subject analysis set title |
ITT-derived populations
|

Subject analysis set type |
Modified intention-to-treat | ||
Subject analysis set description |
The ITT population consisted of all randomized patients except those for whom no data were available following randomization. Inclusion criterion 4 was changed in version 5.0 of the Protocol, and patients who did not fulfill this criterion were excluded from the primary efficacy analysis. For that reason, the ITT-eligible population according to inclusion criterion 4 (ITTe) was introduced. For endpoints where PSADT was the main interest, only patients who had 2 or more PSA values in the examined time period were taken into consideration. It means that for the treatment phase, the ITT population with 2 or more PSA values in the treatment phase (ITT2t) and the same population additionally being eligible according to inclusion criterion 4 in SP003 (ITT2te) were examined. The same applied to the follow-up phase with the populations ITT2f and ITT2fe. Patients who did not start treatment were not analyzed for PSADT in the follow-up phase.

Timeframe for reporting adverse events |
Treatment-emergent AEs and SAEs: from V1 to 30 days after the last dose of DCVAC/PCa (immunotherapy group) or from V1 to 30 days after V10 (treatment phase discontinuation) (control group)
Deaths: from consent signature to trial termination

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Adverse event reporting additional description |
The tables include information on treatment-emergent AEs, treatment-emergent SAEs, and all deaths. An event causally related to treatment was one which was assessed by investigators as causally related to DCVAC/PCa administration. The SAE 'Acute myocardial infarction' was later reported by the sponsor as a SUSAR.
