Two Studies for Patients With High Risk Prostate Cancer Testing Less Intense Treatment for Patients With a Low Gene Risk Score and Testing a More Intense Treatment for Patients With a High Gene Risk Score, The PREDICT-RT Trial

NCT04513717

Description:

This phase III trial compares less intense hormone therapy and radiation therapy to usual hormone therapy and radiation therapy in treating patients with high risk prostate cancer and low gene risk score. This trial also compares more intense hormone therapy and radiation therapy to usual hormone therapy and radiation therapy in patients with high risk prostate cancer and high gene risk score. Abiraterone acetate may help fight prostate cancer by lowering the amount of testosterone made by the body. Apalutamide may help fight prostate cancer by blocking the use of androgen by the tumor cells. Radiation therapy uses high energy rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving a shorter hormone therapy treatment may work the same at controlling prostate cancer compared to the usual 24 month hormone therapy treatment in patients with low gene risk score. Adding abiraterone acetate and apalutamide to the usual treatment may increase the length of time without prostate cancer spreading as compared to the usual treatment in patients with high gene risk score.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To determine whether men with National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) high risk
      prostate cancer who are in the lower 2/3 of Decipher genomic risk (=< 0.8) can be treated
      with 12 months androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) plus radiation therapy (RT) instead of 24
      months ADT+RT and experience non-inferior metastasis-free survival. (De-intensification
      study) II. To determine whether men with NCCN high risk prostate cancer who are in the upper
      1/3 of Decipher genomic risk (> 0.8) or have node-positive disease by conventional imaging
      (magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] or computed tomography [CT] scan) will have a superior
      metastasis-free survival (MFS) through treatment intensification with apalutamide and
      abiraterone acetate with prednisone added to the standard of RT plus 24 month ADT.
      (Intensification study)

      SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To compare overall survival (OS) between the standard of care (RT plus 24 months of ADT)
      and either the de intensification (RT plus 12 months of ADT) or intensification arm (RT plus
      24 months of ADT plus apalutamide and abiraterone acetate with prednisone).
      (De-intensification and intensification studies) II. To compare time to prostate specific
      antigen (PSA) failure or start of salvage treatment between the standard of care (RT plus 24
      months of ADT) and either the de-intensification arm (RT plus 12 months of ADT) or
      intensification arm (RT plus 24 months of ADT plus apalutamide and abiraterone acetate with
      prednisone). (De-intensification and intensification studies) III. To compare PSA
      failure-free survival with non-castrate testosterone and no additional therapies between the
      standard of care (RT plus 24 months of ADT) and either the de-intensification arm (RT plus 12
      months of ADT) or intensification arm (RT plus 24 months of ADT plus apalutamide and
      abiraterone acetate with prednisone). (De-intensification and intensification studies) IV. To
      compare MFS judged based on either standard or molecular imaging between the standard of care
      (RT plus 24 months of ADT) and either the de-intensification arm (RT plus 12 months of ADT)
      or intensification arm (RT plus 24 months of ADT plus apalutamide and abiraterone acetate
      with prednisone). (De-intensification and intensification studies) V. To compare prostate
      cancer-specific mortality between the standard of care (RT plus 24 months of ADT) and either
      the de-intensification arm (RT plus 12 months of ADT) or intensification arm (RT plus 24
      months of ADT plus apalutamide and abiraterone acetate with prednisone). (De-intensification
      and intensification studies) VI. To compare testosterone levels at the time of PSA failure
      and metastases between the standard of care (RT plus 24 months of ADT) and either the
      de-intensification arm (RT plus 12 months of ADT) or intensification arm (RT plus 24 months
      of ADT plus apalutamide and abiraterone acetate with prednisone). (De-intensification and
      intensification studies) VII. To compare time to testosterone recovery (defined as a T > 200)
      between the standard of care (RT plus 24 months of ADT) and either the de-intensification arm
      (RT plus 12 months of ADT) or intensification arm (RT plus 24 months of ADT plus apalutamide
      and abiraterone acetate with prednisone). (De-intensification and intensification studies)
      VIII. To compare adverse events, both clinician-reported using Common Terminology Criteria
      for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v) 5.0 and patient-reported using patient reported
      outcome (PRO)-CTCAE items, between the standard of care (RT plus 24 months of ADT) and either
      the de-intensification arm (RT plus 12 months of ADT) or intensification arm (RT plus 24
      months of ADT plus apalutamide and abiraterone acetate with prednisone). (De-intensification
      and intensification studies)

      CORRELATIVE STUDIES OBJECTIVE:

      I. To compare extra-prostatic uptake on the positron emission tomography (PET)-CT between the
      standard of care (RT plus 24 months of ADT) and intensification arm (RT plus 24 months of ADT
      plus apalutamide and abiraterone acetate with prednisone). (Intensification study)

      EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To compare changes in cardio-metabolic markers, including body mass index, and waist
      circumference, between the standard of care (RT plus 24 months of ADT) and either the
      de-intensification arm (RT plus 12 months of ADT) or intensification arm (RT plus 24 months
      of ADT plus apalutamide and abiraterone acetate with prednisone). (De-intensification and
      intensification studies) II. To determine a machine learning/artificial intelligence
      algorithm for radiotherapy quality assurance. (De-intensification and Intensification
      studies) III. To perform future translational correlative studies using biological and
      imaging data. (De-intensification and intensification studies)

Measure:Metastasis-Free Survival (MFS)
Time Frame:From randomization to the date of detection of distant metastasis on standard imaging or date of death from any cause, assessed up to 13 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Assessed based on conventional imaging. MFS will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method (Kaplan 1958).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Overall Survival (OS)
Time Frame:From the date of randomization to the date of death or last known follow-up date, with patients alive at the last known follow-up time treated as censored, assessed up to 13 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and treatment arms compared using the stratified log-rank test (Kaplan 1958).
Measure:Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) failure-free survival with non-castrate testosterone and no additional therapies
Time Frame:From the date of randomization to the date event, or death or censored at the last known follow-up date, assessed up to 13 years
Safety Issue:
Description:PSA failure-free survival will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and treatment arms compared using the stratified log-rank test (Kaplan 1958).
Measure:Prostate Cancer Specific Mortality (PCSM)
Time Frame:From the date of randomization to the date of prostate cancer death, assessed up to 13 years
Safety Issue:
Description:
Measure:Time to testosterone recovery
Time Frame:Up to 13 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Defined as testosterone that is non-castrate.
Measure:Time to PSA failure or salvage therapy
Time Frame:Up to 13 years
Safety Issue:
Description:
Measure:Testosterone levels at the time of PSA failure and metastases
Time Frame:Up to 13 years
Safety Issue:
Description:
Measure:Incidence of Adverse Events
Time Frame:Up to 13 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Measured by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE ) version (v) 5.0 and Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO)-CTCAE.
