E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Be over 18 years of age. 2. Be able to communicate effectively with the study personnel 3. Have histologically confirmed prostate cancer 4. Have high risk, non-metastatic, castration resistant prostate cancer (T any – N any – M0) or have metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (T any – N any – M1). o Patients with non-metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer must have a PSA doubling time greater than 0 months and less than 10 months when calculated using the website below. PSA doubling time will be calculated using at least three serum PSA measurements that were obtained within 1 year prior to Day 1 of the study and that were collected over at least 3 months with a minimum of 28 days between any two successive measurements. PSA values must be greater than 0.2 ng/dL and have been obtained while the patient was maintained on ADT. The PSA doubling time will be calculated using first order kinetics and must be performed using the following website: http://nomograms.mskcc.org/Prostate/PsaDoublingTime.aspx o Patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer must have a rising serum PSA on two successive assessments at least 2 weeks apart and serum PSA levels ≥ 2 and < 250 ng/mL or > 2 and < 250 ng/mL and a 25% increase above the nadir from the ADT. 5. ECOG performance status of 0 to 2 6. Have been treated with ADT (chemical or surgical) for at least 6 months 7. Have a castrate level of serum total testosterone (<50 ng/dL) 8. Have a history of serum PSA response on ADT. A serum PSA response is an undetectable level of serum PSA (≤0.2 ng/mL) OR at least a 90% reduction in serum PSA from the serum PSA value prior to the initiation of treatment to <10 ng/mL. 9. Be continued on ADT throughout this study 10. Give written informed consent prior to any study specific procedures 11. Subjects must agree, if not already on anticoagulation therapy or aspirin, to take at least 81 mg aspirin daily throughout the duration of their participation in this study and for 30 days after completion of dosing with GTx-758. 12. Subjects must agree to use acceptable methods of contraception: • If their female partners are pregnant or lactating, acceptable methods of contraception from the time of the first administration of study medication until 3 months following administration of the last dose of study medication must be used. Acceptable methods are: Condom used with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository. If the subject has undergone surgical sterilization (vasectomy with documentation of azospermia), a condom with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository should be used. If the male subject’s partner could become pregnant, use acceptable methods of contraception from the time of the first administration of study medication until 3 months following administration of the last dose of study medication. Acceptable methods of contraception are as follows: Condom with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository [i.e., barrier method of contraception], surgical sterilization (vasectomy with documentation of azospermia) and a barrier method {condom used with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository}, the female partner uses oral contraceptives (combination estrogen/progesterone pills), injectable progesterone or subdermal implants and a barrier method {condom used with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository}. • If the female partner has undergone documented tubal ligation (female sterilization), a barrier method {condom used with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository} should also be used. • If the female partner has undergone documented placement of an intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS), a barrier method {condom with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository} should also be used. |

visit of the last subject undergoing the trial
|
Subjects that have not demonstrated serum PSA progression by day 360 will return every 90 days for a visit until they meet the criteria for serum PSA progression. These visits will occur within 7 days of the 90 day interval (± 7 days).
If this assessment confirms the serum PSA progression, the subject should be discontinued from the study and the End of Study visit assessments should be conducted.
After the End of Study visit the subjects have to attend at Follow-up Visits. |
