Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective in the Phase I Part is to evaluate feasibility of dose level DL1 to DL3 and defining a recommended dose (RD) for the Phase II part using the dose levels DL1-DL3 of the phase I part. The primary objective in the study’s Phase II Part is to evaluate the activity of the addition of temsirolimus to standard treatment on the disease progression-free survival in patients with castration resistant prostate cancer receiving first-line docetaxel chemotherapy.;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives in Phase I Part are the collection of safety data on the dose levels used in this part. Secondary objectives /endpoints of Phase II Part are the characterization of: overall response through the overall response rate, RR, disease control rate, CR+PR+SD, tolerability/safety, overall survival (OSChemotherapy), quality of life (QoL). ;Primary end point(s): Phase I Part: Primary endpoint is the Recommended Dose (RD) for the Phase II Part chosen between the three DLs based on the dose escalation scheme. Phase II Part: Disease Progression Free Survival assessed after 6 months quantified by the parameter DPFS-6mR, the 6-months Disease-Progression Free Survival Rate. DPFS-6mR is defined as the quotient of the number of patients who are disease progression free over the number of patients who are evaluable with respect to DPFS-6mR.
