Clinical trial NCT02420652
Conditions: Recurrent Prostate Carcinoma Stage I Prostate Cancer Stage IIA Prostate Cancer Stage IIB Prostate Cancer Stage III Prostate Cancer
Sponsor: Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey
Start date: 2015-06-23; Completion date: 2019-12-01
Enrollment: 27 participants; Allocation: RANDOMIZED; Intervention model: PARALLEL

Brief summary:
This randomized phase II trial studies how well metformin hydrochloride and aspirin work in treating patients with hormone-dependent prostate cancer that has progressed after surgery or radiation therapy. Metformin hydrochloride and aspirin may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether giving metformin hydrochloride and aspirin together can slow the growth of prostate cancer.

Detailed description:
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the effect of metformin (metformin hydrochloride) and aspirin on the change in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) progression in men with rising PSA after definitive therapy for localized prostate cancer and stable disease during a run-in period with the study regimen.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the feasibility and safety of administering metformin and aspirin.

II. To determine the effect of metformin and aspirin on PSA levels and the serum obesity-related prostate cancer (PCa) biomarkers (insulin, insulin-like growth factor \[IGF\]-1, interleukin \[IL\]-1beta, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor \[TNF\]-alpha).

OUTLINE:

RUN-IN STAGE: Patients receive metformin hydrochloride orally (PO) twice daily (BID) and aspirin PO once daily (QD) for 4 months. Patients with disease progression (PSA increase of \> 50% and minimum of 2ng/ml rise in PSA) come off study. Patients achieving disease response (\>25% decline in PSA) continue to receive study agents in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable disease. Patients with stable disease continue on to the randomized study regimen.

RANDOMIZATION STAGE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

ARM I: Patients receive metformin hydrochloride PO BID and aspirin PO QD for 6 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

ARM II: Patients receive metformin hydrochloride placebo PO BID and aspirin placebo PO QD for 6 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 12-16 weeks for 1 year.

Arms: arm 1: Patients receive metformin hydrochloride PO BID and aspirin PO QD for 6 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. arm 2: Patients receive metformin hydrochloride placebo PO BID and aspirin placebo PO QD for 6 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Interventions: intervention 1: Aspirin intervention 2: Laboratory Biomarker Analysis intervention 3: Metformin Hydrochloride intervention 4: Placebo intervention 5: Placebo
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: Given PO intervention 2: Correlative studies intervention 3: Given PO intervention 4: Given metformin hydrochloride placebo PO intervention 5: Given aspirin placebo PO
