Objectives

Primary

  1. Compare the safety of androgen suppression (AS) alone vs AS in varying combinations with zoledronate, docetaxel, prednisolone, and celecoxib in patients with locally advanced or metastatic prostate cancer.
  2. Compare failure-free survival and overall survival of patients treated with these regimens.

      • Multiple sclerotic bone metastases with a PSA ≥ 100 ng/mL without histological confirmation
    • Histologically confirmed previously treated disease with radical surgery or radiotherapy that is now relapsing AND meets 1 of the following criteria:
      • PSA ≥ 4 ng/mL and rising with doubling time less than 6 months
      • PSA ≥ 20 ng/mL

Outline

This is a randomized, controlled, multicenter, pilot study. Patients are randomized to 1 of 6 treatment arms.

  • Arm I (androgen suppression [AS] only [control]): Patients undergo bilateral orchidectomy or receive luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analogues to achieve castration levels of testosterone.


  • Arm II (AS and zoledronate): Patients undergo AS as in arm I. Patients also receive zoledronate IV over 15 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 6 courses and then every 4 weeks for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.


  • Arm III (AS, docetaxel, and prednisolone): Patients undergo AS as in arm I. Patients also receive docetaxel IV over 1 hour on day 1 and oral prednisolone twice daily on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.


  • Arm IV (AS and celecoxib): Patients undergo AS as in arm I. Patients also receive oral celecoxib twice daily for 1 year in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.


  • Arm V (AS, zoledronate, docetaxel, and prednisolone): Patients undergo AS as in arm I. Patients also receive zoledronate as in arm II and docetaxel and prednisolone as in arm III.


  • Arm VI (AS, zoledronate, and celecoxib): Patients undergo AS as in arm I. Patients also receive zoledronate as in arm II and celecoxib as in arm IV.


After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically thereafter.

Registry Information
Official Title Systemic Therapy in Advancing or Metastatic Prostate Cancer: Evaluation of Drug Efficacy [STAMPEDE] A 5-Stage Multi-Arm Randomized Controlled Trial
Trial Start Date 2005-09-19
Registered in ClinicalTrials.gov NCT00268476
Date Submitted to PDQ 2005-09-29
Information Last Verified 2008-03-30

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
