A Phase II Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Trial of PROstate OligoMETastatic RadiotHErapy With or Without ANdrogen Deprivation Therapy in Oligometastatic Prostate Cancer (NRG Promethean)

Description

Brief Summary
This phase II trial tests whether relugolix and radiation therapy works to shrink tumors in patients with prostate cancer that has spread in a limited way to 1 to 5 other parts of the body (oligometastatic). Testosterone can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Relugolix lowers the amount of testosterone made by the body. This may help stop the growth of tumor cells that need testosterone to grow. Giving relugolix with radiation therapy may help lower the chance of prostate cancer growing or spreading.


Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. Compare conventional radiological progression-free survival (rPFS) for positron emission tomography (PET)-detected, biochemically recurrent, oligometastatic, castration-sensitive prostate cancer patients treated with stereotactic ablative body radiation therapy (SABR) plus placebo versus (vs.) SABR plus relugolix. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Compare conventional or PET-based radiological progression-free survival (prPFS) between treatment arms. II. Compare patient-reported sexual and hormonal quality of life as assessed by corresponding Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite Short Form (EPIC-26) domains between treatment arms. III. Compare other measures of quality of life obtained from the European Quality of Life Five Dimension Five Level Scale Questionnaire (EQ5D-5L), European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (QLQ-30), and Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Fatigue instruments between the two treatment arms. IV. Compare time to salvage therapy and time to castration-resistance between treatment arms. V. Compare local progression (SABR-targeted lesion), biochemical progression, distant metastases, prostate cancer-specific mortality, metastasis-free survival, and overall survival between treatment arms. VI. Determine adverse events rates and compare rates between the two treatment arms. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE: I. Evaluate genomic and peripheral tissue and blood markers of treatment response. OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms. ARM I: Patients receive placebo orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-180 (three tablets on Day 1, one tablet daily on Days 2-180) and undergo SABR for 1-3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. ARM II: Patients receive relugolix PO QD on days 1-180 (three tablets on Day 1, one tablet daily on Days 2-180) and undergo SABR for 1-3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 3 and 6 months, every 6 months for 4 years, and then annually thereafter.

  • Bone
  • each metastasis is counted (for example, 2 distinct lesions in the right ilium count as 2 oligometastatic lesions)
  • Extrapelvic Nodal/ soft tissue
  • requires at least one extrapelvic inguinal or a nodal/soft tissue lesion superior to the iliac bifurcation (that is, American Joint Committee on Cancer [AJCC] M1a version 8)
  • Note: Although a patient must have bone and/or extrapelvic disease to be eligible, when counting the number of oligometastatic lesions, each lymph node lesion, whether pelvic or extrapelvic, is counted (for example, 2 distinct lymph nodes in the right external iliac basin count as 2 oligometastatic lesions; one extrapelvic and one pelvic node count as 2 oligometastic lesions, etc)
  • Serum total prostate-specific antigen (PSA) ≤10.0 ng/mL obtained within 120 days prior to registration that also meets ONE of the following PSA recurrence definitions:
  • PSA ≥ post-radiation therapy (RT) nadir PSA + 2 ng/mL, if patient received-radiation therapy to intact prostate, or
  • Current PSA ≥ 0.2 ng/mL, with a second confirmatory PSA ≥ 0.2 ng/mL if patient received a radical prostatectomy with or without post-op RT
  • Must have ≥3 PSA values within the last two years since end of primary treatment or within the last 2 years prior to registration, whichever is less
