This phase 3 trial assessed the effectiveness of hormone therapy with leuprolide and flutamide as an adjuvant in post-prostatectomy patients with stage I or II prostate cancer at a high risk of recurrence. The study enrolled 64 patients, although the detailed study description called for 248 patients to be enrolled in each of the trial\u2019s two arms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Participants were randomly assigned to: the treatment arm, receiving leuprolide intramuscularly once every three months, and oral flutamide three times daily for one year; or the control group, who received \u201cno treatment initially\u201d (with no further information given by the trialists). The primary outcome measure was the number of patients with disease-free survival at five years. No secondary outcome measures were detailed, however the objectives of the project provided in the registry entry include assessing quality of life for patients and their wives, serum testosterone levels, and serum markers of prognosis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Clinical discussion<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Flutamide and leuprolide are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/prostatecanceruk.org\/prostate-information\/treatments\/hormone-therapy\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">hormone therapies<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> that are used to block or reduce testosterone in prostate cancer patients. This treatment strategy is known as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cancer.org\/cancer\/prostate-cancer\/treating\/hormone-therapy.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">androgen deprivation therapy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> or ADT. Androgens like testosterone can <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S1521690X1300047X?via%3Dihub\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">stimulate the growth of prostate cancer cells<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, so androgen deprivation can aid in managing the disease and be used alongside other therapies to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6043751\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">increase their effectiveness<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> as an adjuvant. However, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/25097095\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ADT can come with substantial side effects<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, and therefore it is often reserved only for aggressive forms of the disease.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Prostate cancer is a complex disease. There are numerous treatments available and for any given diagnosis the available options depend on a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esmo.org\/Guidelines\/Genitourinary-Cancers\/Cancer-of-the-Prostate\/eUpdate-Treatment-Algorithms\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">number of factors<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> including if the disease is metastatic or localised, the characteristics of the localised disease, and the patient\u2019s preferences. There is a vast literature and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S2405456915000590\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">research base<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> covering various combinations of specific presentations of prostate cancer with different forms and modes of therapy. Parsing this dense literature is beyond the scope of this UTOTW, but it underscores the need for continued generation of evidence in the space. Leaving trials unreported deprives a dispersed and varied evidence base of the depth needed for informed clinical decision-making.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the UK, NICE is currently <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nice.org.uk\/guidance\/indevelopment\/gid-ng10057\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">updating the recommendations and guidance<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> for prostate cancer.

You can read some general background about the FDA Amendments Act 2007\u2014and why a trial is considered \u201cdue\u201d<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biorxiv.org\/content\/early\/2018\/03\/12\/266452\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2014here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ebmdatalab.net\/why-is-this-trial-due-to-report\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This trial shows a disconnect between the specific, tabular information about the trial, and the planned trial described in the free-text portions of the registration. As noted above, the \u201cStudy Description\u201d portion of the registry entry described a much larger trial with a wider set of outcomes. Examining the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/clinicaltrials.gov\/ct2\/history\/NCT00003645?A=19&amp;B=20&amp;C=merged#StudyPageTop\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">update history<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> of this trial registration shows that it was last updated on 21 March 2017. The update changed the trial status to \u201cCompleted\u201d, moved the primary completion date to 20 March 2017 from June 2018, and updated the actual enrollment to ~13% of the original planned enrollment (64 vs 496). Given these changes, it is unclear whether this trial actually completed or was terminated early; however normally a terminated trial would have its status changed to \u201cterminated\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This raises the issue of terminated trials and the need to report results, which we have <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bmj\/2018\/04\/11\/nick-devito-and-ben-goldacre-unreported-clinical-trial-of-the-week-nct01535937\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">covered previously<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. Under the FDAAA 2007\u2014and in accordance with ethical standards\u2014a terminated trial is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/bmj\/2018\/04\/11\/nick-devito-and-ben-goldacre-unreported-clinical-trial-of-the-week-nct01535937\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">still required to report<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> results, and provide a reason why it ended prematurely. This is because a terminated trial that has recruited and treated some patients can still provide valuable information for other researchers. Did this planned large phase 3 trial stop because of recruitment issues, safety or effectiveness concerns, administrative\/funding issues, or some other reason? Until this trial complies with the law on reporting results from terminated studies, the answers to these questions will unfortunately remain unclear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While the FDAAA 2007 requires results to report directly to ClinicalTrials.gov, searches for this trial on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/?term=(leuprolide+AND+flutamide+)+OR+NCT00003645\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">PubMed<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.co.uk\/scholar?start=10&amp;q=(leuprolide+AND+flutamide+)+OR+NCT00003645&amp;hl=en&amp;as_sdt=0,5&amp;as_ylo=2015&amp;as_vis=1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Google Scholar <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">did not locate any additional publications; therefore there does not appear to be any public information available on or off the registry on the fate or results of this trial.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Conclusion<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This unreported trial was sponsored by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Texas, USA. It was conducted in collaboration with the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group, and AstraZeneca. The study chairs were Curtis A. Pettaway, MD of the M.D Anderson Cancer Center and Michael O. Koch, MD of the Indiana University Melvin and Bren Simon Cancer Center. As of 26 March 2019, this trial is 371 days overdue to report.
