A randomized phase II study of OGX-011 in combination with docetaxel and prednisone or docetaxel and prednisone alone in patients with metastatic hormone refractory prostate cancer (HRPC)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
5069 Background: Clusterin, a cytoprotective chaperone protein that promotes cell survival, is associated with androgen independent progression and overexpressed in HRPC. OGX-011 (OGX, developed by OncoGenex Technologies/Isis Pharmaceuticals) is a 2’- methoxyethyl modified phosphorothioate antisense that inhibits clusterin expression in humans at doses of ≤640 mg and potentiates chemotherapy activity in prostate xenografts. The objective of this study was to determine the anti-tumor activity of OGX in combination with docetaxel (DOC) in patients (pts) with HRPC. Methods: Chemo-naive pts with metastatic HRPC were randomized to receive DOC 75mg/m 2 q3 weeks + OGX 640mg weekly as a 2-hour IV infusion (Arm A) + prednisone or DOC + prednisone (Arm B). Serum levels of clusterin were assessed serially. A single stage randomized phase II design was employed with PSA response rate (RR) as the primary endpoint (Bubley et al, J Clin Oncol 1999;17:3461). Planned sample size was 40 per arm: Arm A the hypotheses (H0:PSA RR<40% vs. H1:PSA RR>60%) could be tested at 10% β and 10% a, Arm B the true PSA RR could be estimated with half-width of the 90% confidence interval <13% if observed PSA RR was 40%. Results: 82 pts (41/arm) were enrolled from September 2005 to December 2006 at 12 centers. Baseline characteristics are similar in both arms (available to date for 63 pts): median age 67 (range: 49–84), PSA 110 μg/L (5.6–1261), hemoglobin 128 g/L (96–158), alkaline phosphatase 133 U/L (47–1294), LDH 193 U/L (120–741). ECOG performance status was 0 in 49% and 1 in 51%; 67% had bone/nodal disease only and 33% had other metastatic sites. To date, 56 pts have received ≥2 cycles. Toxicity due to OGX included grade 1/2 fevers and rigors in 37% and 67% pts respectively, but other adverse events were similar in both arms. PSA response has occurred in 43%, progression in 9%, and 48% have not yet met criteria for response or progression. Conclusions: Combined docetaxel and OGX is well tolerated in pts with metastatic HRPC and PSA responses have been observed. Pt treatment, follow-up and analysis of serum clusterin levels continue. Results by arm will be available by June 2007. Supported by a grant from the NCI-Canada/Canadian Cancer Society. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
