About

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of lenalidomide when given together with cyclophosphamide and to see how well they work in treating patients with previously treated hormone-refractory prostate cancer. Lenalidomide may stop the growth of prostate cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving lenalidomide together with cyclophosphamide may kill more tumor cells.

Full description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the dose limiting toxicities (DLT) of lenalidomide administered in combination with oral cyclophosphamide.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the objective prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response (50% decrease in PSA levels sustained for at least 4 weeks) as defined by PSA working group criteria; or a decrease in absolute PSA or a decrease in PSA velocity, increase in PSA doubling time, duration of any responses.

II. To explore the anti-tumor activity of the combination of lenalidomide plus oral cyclophosphamide in patients with previously treated hormone refractory prostate cancer.

III. To evaluate baseline and change of quality of life, particularly, bone pain and analgesic consumption, of the patients on this combination chemotherapy.

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine whether related cytokines and biomarkers (serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, basic fibroblast growth factor, vascular endothelial growth factor [VEGF], T cell inhibitory activity, phytohemagglutinin [PHA] and interleukin [IL]-2, mononuclear cell isolation, VEGF, basic fibroblast growth factor [bFGF], IL-6) can help predict response to patients undergoing treatment with lenalidomide and cyclophosphamide.

OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study of lenalidomide followed by a phase II study.

Patients receive lenalidomide orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-21 and cyclophosphamide PO QD on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every 28 days for at least 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Treatment modifications may apply according to response.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically.

  • Hemoglobin >= 9.0 g/dL
  • Able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements
  • No serious disease or condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise the patient's ability to participate in the study
  • All study participants must be registered into the mandatory Revlimid REMS program, and be willing and able to comply with the requirements of Revlimid REMS
  • Able to take aspirin (81 or 325 mg) daily as prophylactic anticoagulation (patients intolerant to acetylsalicylic acid [ASA] may use warfarin or low molecular weight heparin)
  • Men must agree to use a latex condom during sexual contact with females of childbearing potential (FCBP) even if they have had a successful vasectomy
  • Male subject agrees to use an acceptable method for contraception for the duration of the study
  • Electrocardiogram (EKG) at baseline, if abnormal, not medically relevant

Exclusion criteria

  • Treatment with a cytotoxic chemotherapy or investigational drug within 30 days before day 1 of study treatment; palliative radiation therapy is allowed, as long as a radiated lesion is not used to assess response rate, and the radiation occurred greater than 4 weeks prior to enrollment
  • Known positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or infectious hepatitis, type A, B or C or active hepatitis
  • Any serious medical condition, laboratory abnormality, or psychiatric illness that would prevent the subject from signing the informed consent form
  • Known hypersensitivity to thalidomide, lenalidomide or cyclophosphamide
  • Active infection at the start of lenalidomide
  • Myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to enrollment or has New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III or IV heart failure, uncontrolled angina, severe uncontrolled ventricular arrhythmias, or electrocardiographic evidence of acute ischemia or active conduction system abnormalities; prior to study entry, any EKG abnormality at screening has to be documented by the investigator as not medically relevant
  • History of life threatening or recurrent thrombosis/embolism; patients may participate if they are adequately anti-coagulated during the treatment
  • Patient has > grade 2 peripheral neuropathy within 14 days before enrollment
  • Any evidence of severe or uncontrolled systemic disease (e.g., unstable or uncompensated respiratory, cardiac, hepatic, or renal disease)
  • Any unresolved chronic toxicity greater than Common Terminology Criteria (CTC) grade 2 from previous anticancer therapy (except alopecia)
  • Evidence of any other significant clinical disorder or laboratory finding that makes it undesirable for the subject to participate in the trial
