Clinical Trial Summary

This is an international phase III trial, with a Bayesian design, incorporating two sequential randomisations. It efficiently examines a series of questions that routinely arise in the sequencing of treatment. The study design has evolved from lengthy international consultation that has enabled us to build consensus over which questions arise from current knowledge and practice. It will enable potential randomisation for the majority of patients with inguinal lymph node metastases and will provide data to inform future clinical decisions. InPACT-neoadjuvant patients are stratified by disease burden as assessed by radiological criteria. Treatment options are then defined according to the disease burden strata. Treatment is allocated by randomisation. Patients may be allocated to one of three initial treatments: A. standard surgery (ILND); B. neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by standard surgery (ILND); or C. neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by standard surgery (ILND). After ILND, patients are defined as being at low or high risk of recurrence based on histological interpretation of the ILND specimen. Patients at high risk of relapse are eligible for InPACT-pelvis, where they are randomised to either: P. prophylactic PLND Q. no prophylactic PLND

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other Acceptability of randomisation In addition to the outcome measures, the acceptability of both randomisations will be monitored based on the proportion of eligible patients approached for randomisation, the proportion of approached patients consenting to randomisation and the proportion of randomised patients receiving their allocated treatment. This will provide ongoing information regarding the feasibility of the trial successfully completing to target. up to 5 years
Primary Overall survival The primary outcome measure that will be measured for all trial patients is survival time. This is defined in whole days as the time from the date of randomisation to the date of death from any cause; for those who have not been reported as dead at the time of analysis, the survival time will be censored at the date of last follow-up. up to 5 years
Secondary Disease specific survival time Disease-specific survival time which is defined in whole days as the time from the date of randomisation to the date of death specifically from disease; for those who have not been reported as dead at the time of analysis, the survival time will be censored at the date of last follow-up and for those whose death is reported as non-disease specific then the survival time will be censored at date of death. up to 5 years
Secondary Number of patients experience a grade 3 or 4 toxicity up to 5 years
Secondary Disease-free survival time Disease-free survival time (DFST) which is defined in whole days as the time from date of randomisation to the date of either locoregional recurrence, distant metastasis or death from disease, whichever occurs first; for those who have not been reported as experiencing any of these events, the DFST will be censored at the date last known to be alive and free of disease or date of non-disease-specific death. A supplementary exploratory outcome measure will also be calculated taking date of penectomy as the origin rather than date of randomisation.
Subsidiary outcome measures will be
locoregional recurrence free survival time (LRFST).
distant metastases free survival time (DMFST).
A supplementary exploratory outcome measure will also be calculated taking date of penectomy as the origin for all these outcome measures rather than date of randomisation.
up to 5 years
Secondary Occurrence of surgical complication up to 5 years
Secondary Is it possible to achieve pathological nodal assessment after chemotherapy Feasibility of pathological nodal assessment after chemotherapy which is recorded as whether or not it was possible to achieve a pathological nodal assessment after chemotherapy. 12 weeks
Secondary Quality of life Measured using the EORTC-QLQC30 and Lymphodema-QL Baseline, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24 and 36 months
Secondary Occurrence of Pathological complete remission Measured for all patients in InPACT-neoadjuvant:
Absolute absence of disease on histological examination
Time to complete remission after randomisation
Secondary Operability Measured for all trial patients in InPACT-neoadjuvant. Operability which will be recorded as whether or not the planned inguinal node dissection was undertaken and the reasons if it did not occur. 2-6 weeks
Secondary Occurrence of Lower limb/scrotal oedema Occurrence of Lower limb/scrotal oedema which is recorded as whether or not the patient experiences a lower limb or scrotal oedema up to 5 years
Secondary On-schedule delivery of neoadjuvant therapy Feasibility of on-schedule delivery of neoadjuvant therapy After randomisation up to 12 weeks
