| Database: | DB00246 |
| Objective: | Recent data indicate that there is a significant crosstalk between the PI3K/Akt/mTOR and androgen receptor signaling pathways. They evaluated safety and tolerability as well as potential drugdrug interaction of ridaforolimus, a mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor, when combined with the androgen receptor inhibitor bicalutamide in patients with asymptomatic, metastatic castrationresistant prostate cancer. |

| PMID: | 23921574 |
| Trial Design |
| Clinical Trial Id: | NA |
| Agent: | ridaforolimus
|
| Target: | Serine/threonineprotein kinase mTOR
|
| Cancer Type: | prostate cancer |
| Cancer Subtype: | advanced castrationresistant prostate cancer |
| Therapy Type: | com |
| Therapeutic Combination Type: | 2 |
| Therapeutic Combination Content: | ridaforolimus + bicalutamide |
| Study Type: | a prospective, openlabel, international, multicenter safety leadin trial |
| Key Patients Feature: | Asymptomatic patients with metastatic adenocarcinoma of the prostate and disease progression despite castration level of testosterone were eligible. |
| Biomarker: | PSA |
| Biomark Analysis: | Serum prostatespecific antigen levels were prospectively monitored as a biomarker for cancer activity. |
| Control Group Info: | single arm |
| Treatment Info: | patients were treated with the combination of ridaforolimus 30 mg/day for 5 consecutive days each week and bicalutamide 50 mg/day. Ridaforolimus pharmacokinetics was assessed with and without bicalutamide. |
| Primary End Point: | Tolerability, safety and pharmacokinetics |
| Secondary End Point: | NA |
| Patients Number: | 12 |
| Trial Results |
| DLT_MTD: | Dose reductions were required in 7 patients.In 3 of 11 evaluable patients at a reduced dose of ridaforolimus of 30 mg/day suggests that this combination may not be well suited for asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic prostate cancer patients. |
| Objective Response Rate: | NA |
| Disease Control Rate: | NA |
| Median Time to Progression: | NA |
| Median PFS A vs. C: | NA |
| Median OS A vs. C: | NA |
| Adverse Event(agent arm): | Three of the 11 patients experienced a doselimited toxicity, 1 with Grade 3 hyperglycemia and 2 with Grade 2 stomatitis leading to <75 % of planned ridaforolimus dose during the first 35 days of study treatment. |
| Conclusions: | Although there was no evidence of a clinically relevant pharmacological drugdrug interaction, the occurrence of doselimiting toxicities in 3 of 11 evaluable patients at a reduced dose of ridaforolimus of 30 mgday suggests that this combination may not be well suited for asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic prostate cancer patients. |
