A randomized double blind phase I-II study to determine the tolerability/efficacy of two different doses of lenalidomide (L), CC- 5013, in biochemically relapsed (BR) prostate cancer (PC) patients (pts) (M0) after local treatment (LT)
5130 Background: BR following LT is common in PC with no defined standard treatment. Lenalidomide (L) is an immunomodulatory agent with anti-angiogenic and direct antitumor effects. Methods: This trial was designed to evaluate a dose-effect relationship of L in BR PC. Pts were randomized to either 5 or 25 mg/day(d), PO, d 1–21 (28-d cycles); then stratified by PSADT (< 3, 3–8.9, ≥ 9 mos), LT and prior ADT. Eligible pts had: rising PSA (≥1 ng/mL), M0 disease, testosterone > 150 ng/mL, adequate bone marrow, renal, and hepatic function. Baseline and Q 2 mos PSA's were processed after Q 6 mos of L, along with CT and bone scan. Toxicity exams were Q mo. Primary endpoints are safety and progression after 6 mo of L (defined by a confirmed ↑ in PSA > 25% over the baseline value or mets). Secondary endpoints are changes of slopes in PSA related to pharmacokinetics (pk). A sample size of 30 pts/arm provides an 85% power to detect a PSA progression rate of 40% (compared to 80% predicted ) with a Type I error = 0.05 (Fishers exact test). Results: 59 pts were entered July 20, 2006-December 31, 2008. Pooled data from the 2 arms: median: age 64 (50–81), ECOG PS 0, baseline PSA 9.3 ng/ml (1.3–92.8 ng/ml). 16 pts had PSADT <3 mos, 26 from 3–8.9 mos, and 17 ≥ 9 mos. Median: F/U on all 59 pts is 351 + d (9 +-887+d); # cycles = 6 (1–30). Thus far, 44/59 pts completed 6 cycles of L (1 had PD, 6 stopped L due to toxicity, 8 too early). 22 /44 who completed 6 mos of L remained on L > 6 mos ( 7+-30+ mos); including 7 pts ≥ 24 mos. Of 44 pts, blinded evaluation of PSA's at 6 mos: 4 pts had ≥ 50% ↓, 22 had stable PSA,17 had PD, 1 too early . Rash was DLT. Other Gr toxicities: appendicitis, abd pain, neck pain, venous thrombolic disease, fatigue, pruritus. Conclusions: Preliminary data prior to unblinding the study treatment arms, from pooled data, suggest that L may be administered > 6 mos with acceptable toxicity, and is associated with PSA declines and long term stabilization in pts with BR.
