PLX3397, Radiation Therapy, and Antihormone Therapy in Treating Patients With Intermediate- or High-Risk Prostate Cancer
United States8 participantsStarted 2015-06
Plain-language summary
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor PLX3397 (PLX3397) when given together with radiation therapy and antihormone therapy in treating patients with prostate cancer that is at intermediate or high risk of spreading. Multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor PLX3397 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth, and may also help the radiation therapy work better. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Antihormone therapy, such as leuprolide acetate, goserelin acetate, or degarelix, may lessen the amount of androgens made by the body. Giving multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor PLX3397 with radiation therapy and antihormone therapy may be a better treatment for prostate cancer.

Inclusion Criteria:
* Pathologically confirmed diagnosis of prostate adenocarcinoma
* Must have confirmed viable archival prostate biopsy tissue available as per Section 8.1 (this will be collected for patients going on study after the MTD has been reached
* Intermediate or high risk prostate cancer patients who are candidates for radiation therapy:
* Gleason \>7 or
* Clinical or pathological \> T2b disease or
* PSA \> 10 ng/mL
* No evidence of metastatic disease by clinical and radiological staging
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status 0 to 1
* No standard contraindications to radiation therapy including prior significant radiation therapy, inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome or collagen vascular disease
* Prior history of up to 8 weeks of androgen deprivation therapy defined as lutenizing-hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) or other medical castration therapy prior to registration is acceptable. This will be in addition to the 6 months of ADT on study.
* Life expectancy of at least 3 months
* Adequate hematologic, hepatic, and renal function as defined by:
* Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 × 109/L
* Hemoglobin \> 10 g/dL
* Platelet count ≥ 100 × 109/L
* AST and ALT ≤ upper limit of normal (ULN)
* TBil and DBil ≤ ULN with an exception of patients with confirmed Gilbert's syndrome. For patients with confirmed Gilbert's syndrome, the TBil should be ≤ 1.5 × ULN
* Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN
* Must have ability to take oral medication

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
