Clinical Trial Summary

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Androgens can stimulate the growth of prostate cancer cells. Hormone therapy can fight prostate cancer by androgen deprivation. It is not yet known if neoadjuvant radiation therapy is a more effective therapy for high-risk prostate cancer. PURPOSE: Two-stage randomized trial to compare the effectiveness and safety of neoadjuvant radiotherapy and hormone therapy followed by radical prostatectomy in men with high-risk locally advanced prostate cancer

Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. Success rate of salvage radiation therapy (SRT) measured as pathologic complete response (pCR) or pathologic near complete response (minimal residual disease, MRD) rate. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. PSA decline rate after neoadjuvant treatment, rate of undetectable PSA after RP, rate of positive surgical margin, and rate of pathologic down-staging (≤ ypT2N0) II. Biochemical recurrence-free survival rate (from date of randomization). III. Metastasis free survival. IV. Prostate Cancer Death. V. Overall Survival OUTLINE: Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 arms. ARM I: Participants receive neoadjuvant hormone and radiation therapy, and then radical prostatectomy ARM II: Participants receive neoadjuvant hormone therapy, and then radical prostatectomy. After intervention, participants are followed up periodically for up to 20 years.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Pathologic outcome	pathologic complete response (pCR) or pathologic near complete response (minimal residual disease, MRD) rate	From date of randomization to the date of radical prostatectomy, up to 100 weeks
Secondary	PSA decline percentage	PSA decline is defined as nadir PSA value/baseline PSA value × 100	From date of randomization to 10 years
Secondary	PSA complete response rate	Complete response is defined as a drop in PSA on protocol treatment to less than 0.2 ng/ml.	From date of randomization to 10 years
Secondary	PSA Recurrence	Biochemical recurrence is defined as a rise in PSA to 0.2 ng/mL and a confirmatory value of 0.2 ng/mL or greater following radical prostatectomy	From date of randomization to 10 years
Secondary	Distant Failure	Distant failure rate is estimated by the cumulative incidence method, with failure defined as the first occurrence of distant failure.	From date of randomization to 10 years
Secondary	Prostate Cancer Death	Prostate cancer death rate us estimated by the cumulative incidence method, with failure defined as death due to prostate cancer or complications of trial.	From date of randomization to 10 years
Secondary	Overall Survival	Overall survival is estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method, with failure defined as death by any cause.	From date of randomization to 10 years
Secondary	Progression-free Survival	Progress-free survival is estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method, with failure defined as the first occurrence of PSA failure, local, regional or distant failure, or death from any cause.	From date of randomization to 10 years
