0810010067/J591; A Randomized Phase II Trial of 177-Lu Radio-labeled Monoclonal Antibody HuJ591 (177-Lu-J591) with Ketoconazole in Patients with High-Risk Castrate Biochemically Relapsed Prostate Cancer after Local Therapy
Study of Investigational Medication with Other Medications for Prostate Cancer
Brief description of study.
The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of the experimental drug, 177Lu-J591 in combination with ketoconazole and hydrocortisone against prostate cancer.
Detailed description of study
This research is being done because the standard treatments for prostate cancer that has returned (PSA is elevated) after surgery and/or radiation and progressed on initial hormonal therapy are not curative. The study will assess the potential of the energy given off by the radioactive compound to kill cancer cell.
Eligibility of study
You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:
- Conditions: Prostate Cancer,Relapsed Prostate Cancer,Prostate,Cancer,Oncology
-
Age: 18 years - 100 years
-
Gender: Male
Inclusion Criteria
Histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate previously treated with surgery and/or radiotherapy
Biochemical progression (rising PSA) after medical or surgical castration
High risk of systemic progression
Exclusion Criteria
Use of red blood cell or platelet transfusions within 4 weeks of treatment
Use of hematopoietic growth factors within 4 weeks of treatment
Active serious infection
History of deep vein thrombosis and/or pulmonary embolus within 3 months of study entry
Known history of HIV.
Currently active other malignancy other than non-melanoma skin cancer.
This study investigates the use of an investigational medication combined with ketoconazole and hydrocortisone for treating prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is a disease where cancer cells form in the tissues of the prostate. The study aims to explore how the energy from a radioactive compound can potentially kill cancer cells, especially in cases where the cancer has returned after surgery or radiation and has not responded to initial hormonal therapy.
Participants in the study will receive a combination of investigational medication, ketoconazole, and hydrocortisone. The investigational medication is a substance being tested to see if it can help treat prostate cancer more effectively. Ketoconazole and hydrocortisone are medications that help manage hormone levels and inflammation.
- Who can participate: Men with prostate cancer confirmed by diagnosis, treated with surgery or radiotherapy, and showing biochemical progression after castration can participate. They should be at high risk of systemic progression and must not have recently used blood or platelet transfusions, growth factors, or have active infections.
- Study details: Participants will be given an investigational medication alongside other medications. A placebo is not used in this study.
