Testing the Addition of Darolutamide to Hormonal Therapy (Androgen Deprivation Therapy [ADT]) After Surgery for Men With High-Risk Prostate Cancer, The ERADICATE Study

NCT04484818

Description:

This phase III trial compares the effect of adding darolutamide to ADT versus ADT alone after surgery for the treatment of high-risk prostate cancer. ADT reduces testosterone levels in the blood. Testosterone is a hormone made mainly in the testes and is needed to develop and maintain male sex characteristics, such as facial hair, deep voice, and muscle growth. It also plays role in prostate cancer development. Darolutamide blocks the actions of the androgens (e.g. testosterone) in the tumor cells and in the body. Giving darolutamide with ADT may work better in eliminating or reducing the size of the cancer and/or prevent it from returning compared to ADT alone in patients with prostate cancer.

Purpose

This phase III trial compares the effect of adding darolutamide to ADT versus ADT alone after surgery for the treatment of high-risk prostate cancer. ADT reduces testosterone levels in the blood. Testosterone is a hormone made mainly in the testes and is needed to develop and maintain male sex characteristics, such as facial hair, deep voice, and muscle growth. It also plays role in prostate cancer development. Darolutamide blocks the actions of the androgens (e.g. testosterone) in the tumor cells and in the body. Giving darolutamide with ADT may work better in eliminating or reducing the size of the cancer and/or prevent it from returning compared to ADT alone in patients with prostate cancer.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

      I. To determine whether 12 months of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and darolutamide
      improves metastasis-free survival (MFS) compared to 12 months of ADT plus placebo in men with
      high risk prostate cancer (defined by Cancer of the Prostate Risk Assessment Post-surgical
      [CAPRA-S] score >= 3 and a high Decipher score (>= 0.6) [C3+D+]) who have undergone radical
      prostatectomy.

      SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To determine whether 12 months of ADT and darolutamide improves recurrence-free survival
      (RFS) compared to 12 months of ADT plus placebo in men with high-risk prostate cancer that
      have undergone radical prostatectomy.

      II. To determine whether 12 months of ADT and darolutamide improves event-free survival (EFS)
      compared to 12 months of ADT plus placebo in men with high-risk prostate cancer that have
      undergone radical prostatectomy.

      III. To determine whether 12 months of ADT and darolutamide improves overall survival (OS)
      compared to 12 months of ADT plus placebo in men with high-risk prostate cancer that have
      undergone radical prostatectomy.

      IV. To determine the rate of testosterone recovery and time to testosterone recovery in each
      treatment arm.

      V. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of ADT and darolutamide.

      CORRELATIVE OBJECTIVES FOR EXPLORATORY BIOMARKERS:

      I. To discover a novel gene expression signature in the Decipher transcriptome platforms that
      is predictive of clinical outcome, as defined by the primary and secondary objectives of this
      study, in response to ADT by intensification with darolutamide versus ADT alone.

      II. To assess the prevalence of subclasses of established transcriptome expression signatures
      and prospectively validate their predictive value for ADT response, these include: (i)
      androgen (AR) activity (ii) Basal-luminal subtyping based on modified PAM50, and (iii) ADT
      score.

      III. To assess whether the spectrum of high Decipher scores (0.6-1.0), prostate-specific
      antigen (PSA) levels at presentation and post-radical prostatectomy (RP) and final pathology
      variables affect the response and outcome to ADT and darolutamide.

      QUALITY OF LIFE (QOL) OBJECTIVES:

      I. To compare overall quality of life, measured by Functional Assessment of Cancer
      Therapy-Prostate (FACT-P) total score, at 18 months between the two arms. (Primary) II. To
      compare the change in overall quality of life, measured by FACT-P total score, from baseline
      to 18 months between the two arms. (Secondary) III. To compare patient-reported fatigue
      (Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy [FACIT]-Fatigue scores) at 12 months
      between the two treatment arms. (Secondary) IV. To compare the change in subjective
      patient-reported cognitive function (FACT-Cognitive [Cog]) from baseline to 12 months between
      the treatment arms. (Exploratory) V. To compare subjective patient-reported cognitive
      function (FACT-Cog scores) at 12 months between the two treatment arms. (Exploratory)

      OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

      ARM I: Patients receive goserelin acetate, leuprolide acetate, or triptorelin via injection
      every 3 months for 12 months (4 injections), every 4 months for 12 months (3 injections), or
      every month for 12 months (12 injections) in the absence of disease progression or
      unacceptable toxicity. Patients also receive a placebo four times daily (QID) for 52 weeks in
      the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

      ARM II: Patients receive goserelin acetate, leuprolide acetate, or triptorelin via injection
      every 3 months for 12 months (4 injections), every 4 months for 12 months (3 injections), or
      every month for 12 months (12 injections) in the absence of disease progression or
      unacceptable toxicity. Patients also receive darolutamide QID for 52 weeks in the absence of
      disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

      After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 36 months.

             equivalent, AND bone scan) which must be done before or after prostatectomy prior to
             randomization. If pre-operative risk does not indicate a need for bone scan,
             post-operative Decipher score of >= 0.6 indicates increased risk of metastatic disease
             and may be used to obtain CT abdomen/pelvis and bone scan prior to randomization

Safety Issue:
Description:The method of Kaplan and Meier will be used to characterize the time-to-event endpoints, and a logrank test will be used to compare these endpoints across treatments.
Measure:Event-free survival
Time Frame:From randomization to any of the RFS events, treatment with salvage radiation therapy with or without systemic therapy, or initiation of systemic therapy for presumed recurrence, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 36 months
Safety Issue:
Description:The method of Kaplan and Meier will be used to characterize the time-to-event endpoints, and a logrank test will be used to compare these endpoints across treatments.
Measure:Overall survival
Time Frame:From randomization to death by any cause or date last known alive, assessed up to 36 months
Safety Issue:
Description:The method of Kaplan and Meier will be used to characterize the time-to-event endpoints, and a logrank test will be used to compare these endpoints across treatments.

Measure:Change in quality of life: Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT)
Time Frame:Baseline up to 18 months
Safety Issue:
Description:Will be assessed by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT) - Prostate, FACT - Cognitive, and Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy - Fatigue. Fatigue instruments at baseline, 6, 12 and 18 months, and descriptive statistics will be used to characterize quality of life over time in each arm. Each item is answered on a 5-point Likert-type scale, where a value of 0 indicates the statement is not applicable, and a value of 5 indicates the statement is applicable to the respondent. Subgroup analysis will be performed among patients who receive adjuvant radiation therapy and patients who do not receive adjuvant radiation therapy in each arm. Mixed effect models will be constructed as an exploratory analysis to estimate the time profile of quality of life assessments in the two arms and to evaluate treatment-by-time interactions.
Measure:Overall quality of life: Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT)
Time Frame:At 18 months
Safety Issue:
Description:Will be assessed by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT) - Prostate total score. The total score can range from 0 to 156, where a higher value indicates a better quality of life. Mixed effect models will be constructed as an exploratory analysis to estimate the time profile of quality of life assessments in the two arms and to evaluate treatment-by-time interactions.
Measure:Change in Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT) - Prostate score
Time Frame:Baseline up to 18 months
Safety Issue:
Description:A paired t test will be used to compare Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT) - Prostate scores at these two time points in each arm. The total score can range from 0 to 156, where a higher value indicates a better quality of life. A two-sample t test will be performed to compare the changes in FACT - Prostate scores from baseline to 18 months between the two arms. Mixed effect models will be constructed as an exploratory analysis to estimate the time profile of quality of life assessments in the two arms and to evaluate treatment-by-time interactions.
