Clinical Details

Official title: Randomised, Phase III Multicenter, Open Study of Lanreotide in Non Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer Patients Presenting Elevated Chromogranin A Levels

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome: Progression-free survival

Secondary outcome:

Prostate specific antigen (PSA) response

Median time to PSA response

Reduction in Chromogranin A serum levels

Eligibility

Minimum age: 18 Years. Maximum age: N/A. Gender(s): Male.

Criteria:

Inclusion Criteria:

- Histologically proven diagnosis of prostate cancer

- Evidence of PSA progression despite castrate levels of testosterone (<50 ng/dL)

following orchiectomy or during therapy with luteinizing hormone releasing hormone agonists (LHRH-a)

- Chromogranin A elevation above normal range (confirmed by a second evaluation at

least 1 week later) [cut off levels will be > 20 U/L for enzyme linked immunosorbent (ELISA) assay and > 100 ng/ml for immunoradiometric (IRMA) assay]

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients with radiological signs of metastatic disease

- Patients who according to the investigator opinion are candidates to be treated

immediately with chemotherapy (e. g. docetaxel)

- Patients previously treated with total androgen ablation
