Exploration of Treatment Effect of Novel Hormone Therapy Combined With Local Treatment Based on PSMA PET/CT Evaluation in mHSCP Patients

Exploration of Treatment Effect of Novel Hormone Therapy Combined With Local Treatment Based on PSMA PET/CT Evaluation in mHSCP Patients (NCT06832774) is a Phase 2 interventional studying Prostate Cancer Metastatic Disease, sponsored by Shanghai General Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.

About This Trial

At present, there is still controversy over the treatment of metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). Major guidelines and consensus suggest that novel hormone therapy (NHT) should be used as the basic treatment for mHSPC, and metastasis directed therapy can be combined depending on the clinical situation. However, it is still unclear how to develop more specific and individualized treatment plans for mHSPC patients. On the other hand, prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) which is highly specifically expressed in prostate epithelial cells has been widely used as a PET/CT target for the diagnosis and staging of prostate cancer. However, there is still a lack of clinical evidence on how to use it to guide the treatment of prostate cancer. Therefore, this study intends to include patients diagnosed with mHSPC by PSMA PET/CT. The patients received no prior treatment for prostate cancer or ADT plus NHT therapy only. After 8 months of ADT plus NHT, PSMA PET/CT will be re-evaluated and patients with remaining active lesions on PSMA PET/CT will be included for randomization. The aim of this study is to explore the effect of NHT combined with local treatment on delaying disease progression and prolonging survival in patients with active lesions on PSMA PET/CT after NHT, providing new insights into the treatment of mHSCP patients.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Prostate Cancer Metastatic Disease and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

Target enrollment of 192 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused Prostate Cancer Metastatic Disease subpopulation. At this scale, the study has enough statistical power to detect a clear treatment effect but is not the largest cohort in the field.

Who Should NOT Join This Trial: 1. A medical history of any other active malignant tumor within 2 years (excluding fully treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, superficial bladder cancer or any other cancer in situ that is currently in complete remission); 2. Prostate biopsy shows sarcomatoid cells, ductal carcinoma, or neuroendocrine cell components; 3. Severe complications, immune suppression, severe mental illness, severe activity restriction, or inability to comply with this study; 4. Currently participating in other clinical trials for prostate cancer; 5. According to the researcher's judgment, there are conditions that are not in line with the best interests of the subjects participating in the study, or may hinder, limit, or interfere with the study protocol. Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

Treatments Being Tested

PROCEDURE

Local treatment

For bone lesions, radiotherapy or orthopedic surgery may be selected. For lymph node lesions, radiotherapy, high-energy focused ultrasound (HIFU) or other available options maybe selected. The specific treatment plan will be determined by the researcher and based on the patient's clinical condition.

DRUG

Gonadotropin releasing hormone analog (GnRHa) + Novel hormone therapy (abiraterone, apalutamide or rezvilutamide).

The intervention contains gonadotropin releasing hormone analog (GnRHa) and novel hormone therapy. For GnRHa, there are 3 options available. 1. "Leuprorelin"/"Prostap" or "Staladex". 2. "Goserelin"/"Zoladex". 3. "Triptorelin" /"LiverTox". For novel hormone therapy, there are also 3 options available. 1. "Abiraterone"/ "ZYTIGA®". 2. "Apalutamide"/"ERLEADA®". 3. "Rezvilutamide"/"ARIANE®". The specific treatment plan will be designed according to patients' clinical conditions based on EAU guidelines.
