Conditions: Hormone-Resistant Prostate Cancer Recurrent Prostate Carcinoma
Allocation: RANDOMIZED | Intervention model: PARALLEL
Enrollment: 23
Healthy volunteers: no

Brief summary:
This randomized phase II trial is studying how well giving pazopanib with or without bicalutamide works in treating patients with prostate cancer that did not respond to hormone therapy. Pazopanib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Antihormone therapy, such as bicalutamide, may lessen the amount of androgens made by the body. Giving pazopanib hydrochloride together with bicalutamide may be an effective treatment for prostate cancer.

Detailed description:
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the therapeutic activity of GW786034 (pazopanib hydrochloride) with and without bicalutamide in the treatment of hormone-refractory prostate cancer using prostate specific antigen (PSA)-response rate.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To estimate objective tumor response in patients with measurable disease. II. To estimate the median time to progression. III. To investigate the safety and tolerability of GW786034 with and without bicalutamide.

IV. To estimate the median duration of PSA-response. V. To determine the steady state levels of GW786034 with and without bicalutamide.

VI. To investigate the correlation between prior exposure to bicalutamide and non-steroidal anti-androgens with response and survival outcomes.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

ARM I: Patients receive pazopanib hydrochloride orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28.

ARM II: Patients receive pazopanib hydrochloride PO QD on days 1-28. Patients also receive bicalutamide PO QD on days 8-28 of course 1 and on days 1-28 in all subsequent courses.

Courses in both arms repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 4 weeks for 12 weeks.

Arms:
arm 1: Patients receive pazopanib hydrochloride PO QD on days 1-28.

. arm 2: Patients receive pazopanib hydrochloride PO QD on days 1-28. Patients also receive bicalutamide PO QD on days 8-28 of course 1 and on days 1-28 in all subsequent courses.
