Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of PLX3397 on male subjects with CRPC.

Secondary objectives include evaluating the safety and tolerability of PLX3397 and the anti-tumor effects that PLX3397 has on the the subjects.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: PLX3397

Participants will take daily oral dose of PLX3397 for 28 day cycles. Participants will continue to take PLX3397 until disease progression or toxicity.

Drug: PLX3397
Capsules administered twice daily, continuous dosing. Subjects will take PLX3397 at 1000 mg/day.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Summary of High Circulating Tumor Cell Count Number In Men With Radiographically Progressive Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer and High Circulating Tumor Cells [See measure description for time frame.]

    Effects of PLX3397 on CTC number in men with radiographically progressive CRPC and high CTC counts (≥10 CTCs/7.5 mL of blood using CellSearch Assay) CTC counts were to be evaluated at the following time points: Screening, Baseline, every 4 weeks after treatment initiation, and at Safety Follow-up. Radiographic tumor evaluation were to be performed every 8 weeks. Progression at the first reassessment required a confirmatory scan at a minimum of 6 weeks later, and treatment with study medication was to continue until the progression had been confirmed.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Number of Participants Reporting Treatment-Related Adverse Events by System Organ Class and Preferred Term [Assessed from first dose through at least 4 weeks after the last dose.]

  2. Number of Participants Reporting Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events by Worst Severity Grade [Assessed from first dose through at least 4 weeks after the last dose.]

    Adverse events (AEs) were assessed using National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 4.0, where 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe, 4=life-threatening, and 5=death related to AE.

Limitations/Caveats

This study did not meet its planned enrollment goal of 20 participants by the end of 2012. Therefore, enrollment was terminated and efficacy was not evaluated; only the safety results are reported.
