  • Standard Systemic Therapy With or Without Definitive Treatment in Treating Participants With Metastatic Prostate Cancer

Standard Systemic Therapy With or Without Definitive Treatment in Treating Participants With Metastatic Prostate Cancer

Principal Investigator

Marijo Bilusic

Enrollment Status

Open

Clinical Trial ID

Institutional Protocol # 20180970
National Clinical Trials Identifier NCT03678025

Clinical Trial Summary

This phase III trial studies how well standard systemic therapy with or without definitive
treatment (prostate removal surgery or radiation therapy) works in treating participants with
prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Addition of prostate removal
surgery or radiation therapy to standard systemic therapy for prostate cancer may lower the
chance of the cancer growing or spreading.

Enrollment Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:
- STEP 1 REGISTRATION: DISEASE-RELATED CRITERIA: All patients must have a histologically
or cytologically proven diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the prostate. Patients with
pure small cell carcinoma* (SCC), sarcomatoid, or squamous cell carcinoma are not
eligible. (*morphology must be consistent with SCC; synaptophysin or chromogranin
positive by immunohistochemical staining is insufficient to diagnose SCC).
- STEP 1 REGISTRATION: DISEASE-RELATED CRITERIA: Patients must have an intact prostate.
No prior local therapy for prostate adenocarcinoma is allowed (e.g., brachytherapy,
high-intensity focused ultrasound [HIFU], cryotherapy, laser ablative therapies). Any
prior therapy for benign conditions, such as obstruction, are acceptable (e.g.,
transurethral resection of the prostate, greenlight laser ablation, microwave
ablation).
- STEP 1 REGISTRATION: DISEASE-RELATED CRITERIA: Patients must have evidence of
metastatic disease on technetium bone scan and computed tomography (CT) or magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) within 42 days prior to starting standard systemic therapy.
Metastatic disease that is detected by positron emission tomography (PET) scan only
(sodium fluoride [NaF], prostate-specific membrane antigen [PSMA],
anti-1-amino-3-18F-fluorocyclobutane-1-carboxylic acid [FACBC], carbon [C]11) but not
conventional imaging (technetium [Tc]99 bone scan, CT or MRI) or solitary metastases
by conventional imaging, must be confirmed histologically or cytologically.
- STEP 1 REGISTRATION: DISEASE-RELATED CRITERIA: Patients with known brain metastases
are not eligible. Brain imaging studies are not required for eligibility if the
patient has no neurologic signs or symptoms suggestive of brain metastasis. If brain
imaging studies are performed, they must be negative for disease.
- STEP 1 REGISTRATION: PRIOR/CONCURRENT THERAPY CRITERIA: Patients must have received no
more than 28 weeks of standard systemic therapy (SST). SST is defined as current
National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines for metastatic prostate
cancer.
- STEP 1 REGISTRATION: PRIOR/CONCURRENT THERAPY CRITERIA: Patients must not have
progressed while on SST.
- STEP 1 REGISTRATION: PRIOR/CONCURRENT THERAPY CRITERIA: Patients with oligometastatic
prostate cancer may receive metastasis directed therapy to up to four sites of disease
prior to randomization.
- STEP 1 REGISTRATION: CLINICAL/LABORATORY CRITERIA: Patients must have a complete
physical examination and medical history within 28 days prior to registration.
- STEP 1 REGISTRATION: CLINICAL/LABORATORY CRITERIA: Patients must have a PSA documented
prior to initiation of SST and within 28 days prior to registration. Any additional
PSAs measured while receiving SST should be recorded.
- STEP 1 REGISTRATION: CLINICAL/LABORATORY CRITERIA: Patients must have a testosterone
lab documented within 28 days prior to randomization. Any additional testosterone labs
measured while receiving SST should be recorded as well as pretreatment initiation if
available.
- STEP 1 REGISTRATION: CLINICAL/LABORATORY CRITERIA: No other prior malignancy is
allowed except for the following: adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin
cancer, adequately treated stage 0, I or II cancer from which the patient is currently
in complete remission, or any other cancer from which the patient has been disease
free for three years.
- STEP 1 REGISTRATION: SPECIMEN SUBMISSION CRITERIA: Patients must be offered the
opportunity to participate in translational medicine studies and specimen banking for
future studies.
- STEP 1 REGISTRATION: QUALITY OF LIFE CRITERIA: Patients who can complete
Patient-Reported Outcome instruments in English, Spanish or French, must participate
in the quality of life studies.
- STEP 1 REGISTRATION: REGULATORY CRITERIA: Patients must be informed of the
investigational nature of this study and must sign and give written informed consent
in accordance with institutional and federal guidelines.
- STEP 2 RANDOMIZATION: DISEASE-RELATED CRITERIA: As a part of the OPEN registration
process the treating institution's identity is provided in order to ensure that the
current (within 365 days) date of institutional review board approval for this study
has been entered in the system.
- STEP 2 RANDOMIZATION: DISEASE-RELATED CRITERIA: Patients must have no evidence of
disease progression during the 28 weeks of SST by PSA measure, bone scan and CT or MRI
or symptomatic deterioration (as defined by physician discretion) within 28 days prior
to randomization.
- STEP 2 RANDOMIZATION: DISEASE-RELATED CRITERIA: Patients must have consultation with a
urologist and have surgically resectable disease regardless of definitive treatment
intent or randomization.
- STEP 2 RANDOMIZATION: PRIOR/CONCURRENT THERAPY CRITERIA: Patients must have received
between 22 and 28 weeks of SST as measured from the date of first hormonal therapy or
surgical castration. SST is defined by current NCCN guidelines for metastatic prostate
cancer.
- STEP 2 RANDOMIZATION: PRIOR/CONCURRENT THERAPY CRITERIA: Patients must not be planning
to receive docetaxel after randomization.
- STEP 2 RANDOMIZATION: PRIOR/CONCURRENT THERAPY CRITERIA: Any toxicities from SST must
have resolved to =< grade 1 (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [CTCAE]
version 5.0) prior to randomization.
- STEP 2 RANDOMIZATION: PRIOR/CONCURRENT THERAPY CRITERIA: Patients may have received
elective metastasis directed therapy to oligometastatic sites (=< 4 sites). All
treatment must be completed prior to randomization.
- STEP 2 RANDOMIZATION: CLINICAL/LABORATORY CRITERIA: Patients must have a PSA performed
within 28 days prior to randomization.
- STEP 2 RANDOMIZATION: CLINICAL/LABORATORY CRITERIA: Patients must have a testosterone
< 50 ng/dL within 28 days prior to randomization.
- STEP 2 RANDOMIZATION: CLINICAL/LABORATORY CRITERIA: Patients must have a Zubrod
performance status of 0 ? 1 within 28 days prior to randomization.
