Cediranib + Olaparib for Advanced Prostate Cancer
Study Summary
This trial looks at how well olaparib, with or without cediranib, works to treat patients with metastatic prostate cancer. Olaparib is a PARP inhibitor, which means it prevents PARP proteins from repairing DNA mutations. This may stop tumor cells from growing. Cediranib is an enzyme inhibitor that may also stop tumor cell growth.

- You have experienced a blocked bowel within the month before starting the study.You have taken any experimental drugs within the last 28 days before the start of the study.You have cancer that has spread to your brain or spinal cord and have not yet received treatment for it, or you have symptoms of this spreading that affect your brain.You are taking medications that strongly affect CYP3A enzymes, either by increasing or decreasing their activity.You have had another type of cancer in the last 5 years.You have a history of a hole or opening in your stomach or intestines, an infection in your abdomen, or an abnormal connection between your organs.You have experienced bleeding inside your abdomen or back in the last 3 years.You are expected to live for at least 16 weeks.You have newly discovered areas of concern on a bone scan.Your disease has been getting worse according to a specific medical assessment method called RECIST 1.1.You agree to have tissue samples taken from your tumor before and during the study. There is an optional biopsy after the treatment stops working.You have received two or more treatments for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). If you were given a chemotherapy drug called taxane for metastatic castration sensitive disease, it will not count as a prior treatment, unless your cancer progressed within 12 months after the last dose of chemotherapy.You have already received treatment for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) at least once.Your condition must show signs of getting worse, which will be confirmed by specific tests or measurements.You have taken medicine before that blocks VEGF signaling or PARP.You are currently taking natural herbal products or other non-prescription remedies.You have an ongoing and uncontrolled illness.You are willing to have tumor samples taken for research purposes.Your PSA levels have been increasing for at least two tests, and the most recent test shows a value of 1.0 ng/ml or higher. If the PSA level at the third test is higher than at the second test, or if the fourth test is higher than the second test and either the third or fourth test is 1 ng/mL or higher, you may be eligible to participate.You have a significant disease in your blood vessels or a known bulge in your abdominal aorta.You have brain tumors that have been treated but they do not meet specific requirements.You have been diagnosed with prostate cancer, and it has been confirmed by a biopsy or imaging tests. If the cancer has other types of cells, you need to talk to the study leader.The spreading of the cancer to other parts of your body must be confirmed by medical images.If you are a male with prostate cancer, you should have had surgery or medication to lower your testosterone levels. If you are taking medication, you should have started it at least 4 weeks before the study starts and continue taking it throughout the study.You need to have a tumor that can be safely biopsied by the doctor. The doctor may prefer a soft tissue tumor, but a bone tumor is also allowed if enough samples can be taken. The tumor used for the biopsy cannot be used to assess treatment response.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are there numerous American facilities that are executing this clinical trial?
"This medical study is actively recruiting at 17 distinct sites, including the Smilow Cancer Center/Yale-New Haven Hospital in New Haven, UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center in La Jolla and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute located in Columbus."
What is the total number of participants in this experiment?
"Unfortunately, this research project is no longer actively looking for volunteers. The data on clinicaltrials.gov shows that it was first published in December 2016 and last updated in July 2022. If you're looking for other trials then there are currently 6419 studies recruiting participants with prostate small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma as well as 193 studies searching for Cediranib patients."
Are there still openings for participants in this clinical research?
"Unfortunately, this clinical trial has stopped recruiting participants. After being initially posted on December 23rd 2016 and last modified on July 16th 2022, the study is no longer active. Nonetheless, there are 6419 trials with prostate small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma and 193 studies that require Cediranib in their patients who remain open for recruitment."
For what indications is Cediranib typically prescribed?
"Cediranib is a medication most frequently utilized for treatment of aggressive illnesses. It can also be prescribed to treat malignant neoplasm of ovary, primary peritoneal cancer, auditory delusions and bodily sensations."
Is this endeavor the inaugural of its kind?
"As of today, 193 studies involving Cediranib are currently active in 1486 cities spread through 59 nations. The trailblazing trial for this medication dates back to 2005 and was sponsored by AstraZeneca. It completed its Phase 1 clinical phase featuring 98 participants, and since then a further 110 tests have been conducted."
Are there other investigations which have utilized Cediranib?
"At the moment, there are 193 ongoing studies for Cediranib with 27 trials being conducted in Phase 3. While Houston, Texas is home to most of these clinical trials, a total of 9498 sites around the world have active research into this drug."
Has the FDA sanctioned Cediranib for medical use?
"According to our team at Power, Cediranib's safety can be rated a 2 due to the lack of existing evidence regarding its efficacy. However, phase 2 trials have generated some data indicating it is safe for use in humans."
