Brief summary

Multicenter randomized phase II study, double-blind, comparing Taxotere plus curcumin versus Taxotere plus placebo combination in first-line treatment of prostate cancer metastatic castration resistant. Assess time to progression (time to progression) of metastatic disease (from first day of treatment in the trial).

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Time to progressionparticipants will be followed post treatment. From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any causeAssess time to progression (time to progression) of metastatic disease (from first day of treatment in the trial). Progression was defined as an increase (of) injury (s) tumor (s) (RECIST) or an increase in PSA levels (≥ 25% and ≥ 2ng/ml increase) or the appearance of new lesions metastatic (at least 2 new lesions for bone lesions). From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
objective tumor response rateparticipants will be evaluated at the end of the treatment (randomization + an expected average of 4 months)Evaluate the objective tumor response rate (CR + PR) by RECIST.
safety and tolerabilitypatients will be followed for the duration of the treatment, an expected average of 4 monthsAssess the safety (adverse events) of the combination Taxotere/ curcumin.
Painparticipants will be followed at Cycle1,3,6 of chemotherapy and post treatment (+1months after the end of the treatment)Assess pain in the short questionnaire on pain (QCD)
PSA responseFrom date of randomization until the date of first documented PSA progression or date of death from any causeEvaluate the PSA response (50% decrease compared to the initial value)
Overall survivalfrom date of randomization until the date of death from any causeEvaluate overall survival (between inclusion and death whatever the cause)
anti-angiogenic activityparticipants will be followed at each Cycle of chemotherapy ( + inclusion) , an expected average of 4 monthsEvaluate the anti-angiogenic activity of the association Taxotere ® plus curcumin
compliancepatients will be followed for the duration of the treatment, an expected average of 4 monthsAssess the compliance by curcumin treatment / placebo orally
neuroendocrine markersparticipants will be followed for the duration of the treatment, an expected average of 4 monthsAssess serum neuroendocrine markers
