Trial Outcomes & Findings for Epidiolex (CBD) in Patients With Biochemically Recurrent Prostate Cancer (NCT NCT04428203)

NCT ID: NCT04428203

Last Updated: 2025-03-05

Results Overview

DLT was defined as grade ≥3 nausea, vomiting, diarrhea that persists \>72 h despite optimal anti-emetics and anti-diarrhea treatment, grade ≥3 hematological adverse events (AEs), or grade ≥2 suicidal ideation.Treatment-related adverse events are those that comprise a dose-limiting toxicity within 30 days after initiation of Epidiolex (i.e., acute DLT). Additionally, Treatment-related adverse events will continue to be monitored for a total of 90 days.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: within 90 days

Population: Patients who were DLT evaluable, had baseline measurements, and had at least one post-baseline measurement were included in the analysis of secondary endpoints. The assessments were combined for patients who received the recommended dose of 800 mg daily.

Biochemical response (25% change from baseline) will be determined by the measurement of PSA at baseline and approximately every 4 weeks during treatment.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline

Population: No data released for 600mg as only 1 participant answered QOL measures and confidentiality of health information could be impacted if the outcome measures were displayed. Only patients who received one or more doses of the recommended phase 2 dose (800 mg) and who completed one or more sections of the quality-of-life assessment were analyzed. Of the 17 patients who received the recommended dose of 800 mg daily, 17 completed patient-reported outcomes at baseline and 12 completed PROs at 12 weeks.

The EORTC quality of life questionnaire (QLQ) 30 is a validated 30-item patient-reported questionnaire assessing quality of life among cancer populations. The quality of life questionnaire-C30 is the core QOL instrument, with 30 items that comprise five functioning scales (physical, social, role, cognitive, and emotional functioning), eight symptom scales (fatigue, nausea/vomiting, pain, dyspnea, sleep disturbances, appetite loss, constipation, and diarrhea), financial impact, and overall quality of life. All raw item scores are transformed to scale scores, linearly converted to range from 0 to 100. For the functioning scales and global QOL, higher scores indicate better functioning. For the symptom scales, higher scores indicate higher symptom burden.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline

Population: Assessments were combined and analyzed for patients who received one or more doses of the recommended phase 2 dose and who completed one or more sections of the quality-of-life assessment. For 800mg dose17 completed baseline and 12 completed at 12 weeks. Some participants left some questions blank (incontinence, sexual activity). No data released for 600mg as only 1 participant answered QOL measures, confidentiality of health information could be impacted if the outcome measures were displayed.

The EORTC quality of life questionnaire (QLQ)-PR25 is a validated 25-item patient-reported questionnaire which complements the EORTC QLQ-C30,core QOL questionnaire. The QLQ-PR25 comprises 25 items assessing sequelae specific to prostate cancer and its treatment, and thus, is intended to supplement the EORTC QLQ-C30. The 25 items comprise six prostate-specific scales: Urinary, Bowel, Use of Incontinence Aids, Prostate Cancer Treatment-Related Symptoms, Sexual Active and Sexual Function. Raw item scores are linearly transformed to a 0 to 100 scale (i.e., same unit of measurement used by the core QLQ-C30 questionnaire). For the QLQ-PR25, higher scores on symptom domains (e.g., urinary, bowel, etc.) indicate greater symptom burden. Higher scores on function domains (e.g., Sexual Function) indicate better functioning.
