Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Compare the Overall Survival (OS) of Patients Treated With AEZS-108 to the OS of Patients Treated With Doxorubicin.
From randomization to death from any cause. During ongoing treatment: response evaluation every 3 cycles. For patients gone of treatment: re-assessment every 12 weeks.

Overall survival was defined as the elapsed time from randomization to death from any cause. For surviving patients, follow-up was to be censored at the date of last contact. The final analysis, which was event-based, was conducted after approximately 384 randomized patients had died. A log-rank test with an overall two sided Type I Error rate of 0.05 after taking the interim analyses into account was used to compare OS between the two treatment arms via a SAS (Statistical Analysis System) LIFETEST procedure. Kaplan Meier estimates were used to calculate median OS and the 95% confidence interval (CI) of the median OS. The proportion of patients alive at 6 and 12 months (from randomization date) and the 95% CIs for these estimated proportions were calculated.

Frequently asked questions about doxorubicin-GnRH agonist conjugate AEZS-108

What is doxorubicin-GnRH agonist conjugate AEZS-108?

Doxorubicin-GnRH agonist conjugate AEZS-108 is an investigational small molecule oncology drug being developed by COSCIENS Biopharma Inc. for prostate cancer. It is a conjugate that pairs doxorubicin with a GnRH agonist. It has been studied in Phase 1 clinical development in patients with metastatic hormone-resistant prostate cancer.

What is doxorubicin-GnRH agonist conjugate AEZS-108 used for?

Doxorubicin-GnRH agonist conjugate AEZS-108 has been studied for prostate cancer, specifically metastatic hormone-resistant prostate cancer, recurrent prostate cancer, and Stage IV prostate cancer. The Phase 1 trial enrolled men aged 18 years and older in the United States. It is an investigational agent and is not an approved treatment.

Who makes doxorubicin-GnRH agonist conjugate AEZS-108?

Doxorubicin-GnRH agonist conjugate AEZS-108 is developed by COSCIENS Biopharma Inc., which trades under the ticker CSCI. The company sponsored the Phase 1 study of the agent in metastatic hormone-resistant prostate cancer.

What phase is doxorubicin-GnRH agonist conjugate AEZS-108 in?

Doxorubicin-GnRH agonist conjugate AEZS-108 is in Phase 1 development. One Phase 1 trial has been conducted, and it is now completed. The drug remains investigational and has not been approved for any indication.

What clinical trials is doxorubicin-GnRH agonist conjugate AEZS-108 in?

Doxorubicin-GnRH agonist conjugate AEZS-108 was evaluated in one Phase 1 trial, NCT01240629, titled Doxorubicin-GnRH Agonist Conjugate AEZS-108 in Treating Patients With Metastatic Hormone-Resistant Prostate Cancer. The trial enrolled 43 patients in the United States and is completed. It was an uncontrolled study without randomization or blinding.

How does doxorubicin-GnRH agonist conjugate AEZS-108 work?

Doxorubicin-GnRH agonist conjugate AEZS-108 is a small molecule conjugate that combines doxorubicin with a GnRH agonist. The GnRH agonist component is designed to direct the agent toward GnRH receptor-expressing cells, delivering the doxorubicin payload to prostate cancer cells that express the receptor.
