Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This trial tests if the combination of comprehensive metastasis directed therapy delivered by a precision form of external beam radiotherapy (stereotactic ablative radiotherapy), combined with PSMA targeted radiopharmaceutical therapy and cessation of castration, and then followed by testosterone replacement, is an effective treatment for metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer.

All patients will be treated with stereotactic ablative radiotherapy and PSMA targeted radiopharmaceutical therapy with cessation of castration. Half of patients are randomized to either receive, or not receive, subsequent testosterone replacement.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Radiation: stereotactic ablative radiotherapy
  • Drug: Pluvicto
  • Drug: topical testosterone
Phase 2

Detailed Description

This is a randomized, parallel-arm, two-stage open-label phase 2 study of comprehensive metastasis directed therapy in the form of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) to all detectable sites of disease plus PSMA targeted radiopharmaceutical therapy (pluvicto), discontinuation of castration, with and without testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) in metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. 6-month radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) [6-months]

      6-month radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) measured by conventional imaging from date of initiation of PSMA radiopharmaceutical therapy

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. safety [up to two years]

      Physician reported Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE version 5.0)

    2. Patient reported health-related quality of life measured by Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC-26) [up to two years]

      EPIC-26 contains 26 items in 5 domains (Urinary Incontinence, Urinary Irritative/Obstructive, Bowel, Sexual, and Hormonal). Raw scores are transformed linearly to a 0-100 scale, with higher scores representing better HRQOL.

    3. PSA30, PSA50, PSA90, maximal PSA response [up to two years]

      This is the rate of PSA response (PSA decrease by 30%, 50%, 90%), and maximal response

    4. Time to PSA progression [up to two years]

      Time to PSA progression per PCWG3 criteria, from date of initiation of PSMA radiopharmaceutical therapy

    5. Objective response rate [up to two years]

      Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST version 1.1) from date of initiation of PSMA radiopharmaceutical therapy

    6. Time to radiographic progression [up to two years]

      Time-to-event, Bone progression by Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 (PCWG3) criteria and/or soft tissue progression by RECIST v1.1, from date of initiation of PSMA radiopharmaceutical therapy

    7. PSMA PET response [up to two years]

      Measured using Prostate Cancer Molecular Imaging Standardized Evaluation (PROMISE)

    8. Progression Free Survival [up to two years]

      Time-to-event, a composite between time to PSA progression (PCWG3) and/or radiographic progression (PCWG3 for bone, RECIST 1.1 for soft tissue), from date of initiation of PSMA radiopharmaceutical therapy

    9. Overall survival [up to two years]

      Time-to-event, from date of initiation of PSMA radiopharmaceutical therapy

    10. Patient reported health-related quality of life measured by The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Prostate (FACT-P). [up to two years]

      FACT-P includes a general functional status scale (consisting of four subscales: physical wellbeing, social and family wellbeing, emotional wellbeing, and functional wellbeing) and a prostate-cancer-specific subscale. Total score is calculated with general function and prostate-cancer-specific scores, and ranges from 0 to 156 (higher scores indicate better functional status).
