Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Time to Prostate-specific Antigen (PSA) Doubling From Baseline (in Days)
up to 28 months

Time to PSA doubling is defined as the number of days between the baseline date and the study day of the first post-baseline PSA evaluation date (within treatment period, typically up to 24-month evaluations) on which the PSA value was at least twice as much as the baseline PSA value, and the immediate subsequent value, if available, was at least 85% of two times the baseline value. Participants who never achieved PSA doubling were censored at the last post-baseline, non-missing PSA evaluation.

Number of Participants With PSA Doubling From Baseline
up to 28 months

PSA doubling is defined as the first post-baseline PSA value (within treatment period, typically up to 24-month evaluations) that was at least twice as much as the baseline PSA value and was confirmed as such (at least 85% of two times the baseline PSA value) in the immediate subsequent PSA value if one is available.

Time to PSA Doubling From Baseline (in Days) Within Year 1
up to 16 months

Time to PSA doubling is defined as the number of days between the baseline date and the study day of the first post-baseline PSA evaluation date within Year 1 (Y1; within treatment period, typically up to 12-month evaluations) on which the PSA value was at least twice as much as the baseline PSA value, and the immediate subsequent value, if available, was at least 85% of two times the baseline value.

Number of Participants With PSA Doubling From Baseline During Year 1
up to 16 months

PSA doubling is defined as the first post-baseline PSA value (within treatment period, typically up to 12-month evaluations) that was at least twice as much as the baseline PSA value and was confirmed as such (at least 85% of two times the baseline PSA value) in the immediate subsequent PSA value if one is available.

Frequently asked questions about Avodart

What is Avodart used for?

Avodart is a small molecule being studied for the treatment of prostate neoplasms, specifically prostate cancer after radical treatment. It is an investigational drug in Phase 2 clinical development, and it is not approved for this use.

Who makes Avodart?

Avodart is being developed by GSK plc, which trades under the ticker GSK. The company is conducting clinical research to evaluate the drug's safety and efficacy in patients with prostate cancer.

What phase is Avodart in?

Avodart is in Phase 2 clinical development. It has completed one Phase 2 trial, the ARTS study, which enrolled 294 participants. The drug is still investigational and has not been approved by regulatory authorities.

What clinical trials is Avodart in?

Avodart has been studied in one completed Phase 2 clinical trial, NCT00558363, titled "ARTS - AVODART After Radical Therapy For Prostate Cancer Study." This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial enrolled 294 patients across multiple countries.

How does Avodart work?

Avodart is a small molecule being investigated for prostate cancer. Its specific molecular target has not been disclosed in the available clinical trial information, so its mechanism of action is not described here.
