Overview

This is the first pilot phase II trial assessing the response of SBRT layered on Darolutamide (BAY1841788) on RPFS and deferring palliative second line systemic therapy in M0CRPC with oligoprogression.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria (Part 1):

• Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate without neuroendocrine differentiation or small cell features;
• M0CRPC at study entry defined as follows:
  1. Ongoing androgen deprivation therapy with a LHRH agonist or bilateral orchiectomy (i.e., surgical or medical castration);
  2. Serum testosterone level ≤ 1.7 nmol/L (50 ng/dL) at the Screening visit;
  3. PSA progression defined by a minimum of two subsequent rising PSA levels with an interval of ≥ 1 week between each determination. Patients who received an anti-androgen must have progression after withdrawal (≥ 4 weeks since last flutamide or ≥ 6 weeks since last bicalutamide or nilutamide). The PSA value at the Screening visit should be ≥ 2 μg/L (2 ng/mL)
  4. PSA doubling time of 10 months or less,
  5. M0 assessed by conventional imaging (CT/MRI + bone scan).

        NOTE: If darolutamide started prior to study entry, evidence of inclusion criteria 1-5
        listed above prior to start of darolutamide must be submitted to determine study
        eligibility
          -  Prior cytotoxic chemotherapy for prostate cancer in adjuvant setting post radical
             therapy is allowed;
          -  Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1 or Karnofsky
             performance status of > 80% or higher;
          -  Estimated life expectancy of ≥ 6 months;
          -  Ability to swallow the study drug whole and comply with study.
          -  Patients should not have been previously exposed to other ARATs (Abiraterone,
             Enzalutamide, Apalutamide)
        Inclusion Criteria (Part 2):
          -  ≤ 5 metastatic sites (on conventional imaging);
          -  ≤ 4 tumors within any given organ system, excluding brain (e.g. up to 4 bone
             metastases, or 4 lung metastases);
          -  All sites of disease must be amenable to SBRT with no history of the metastases being
             irradiated (radiation exposure prior to the development of the metastases is permitted
             as long as the radiation exposure was not intended for the metastases. For example, if
             there is prior pelvic radiation to the prostate and a subsequent iliac metastasis
             develops within the previously irradiated pelvic radiation field, then the iliac
             metastasis would be eligible per the institution policy and practice);
          -  In the case of a suspicious lesion in an unusual location such as lung or thoracic
             lymph nodes (without other abdominal lymph nodes), a confirmatory imaging or biopsy is
             strongly recommended;
        Exclusion Criteria (Part 1):
          -  Severe concurrent disease, infection, or co-morbidity that, in the judgment of the
             Investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for enrollment;
          -  Presence of distant metastasis, including previously treated (clinical stage M1) is
             exclusive, however isolated pelvic nodal disease below the iliac bifurcation (clinical
             stage N1) is not an exclusion criteria.
          -  History of another malignancy within the previous 5 years other than curatively
             treated non-melanoma skin cancer;
          -  Absolute neutrophil count < 1,500/μL, platelet count < 100,000/μL, or hemoglobin < 5.6
             mmol/L (9 g/dL) at the Screening visit (NOTE: patients may not have received any
             growth factors within 7 days or blood transfusions within 28 days of the hematologic
             laboratory values obtained at the Screening visit);
          -  Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) > 2.5 times the
             upper limit of normal and total bilirubin > 1.5 times the upper limit of normal at the
             Screening visit;
          -  Creatinine > 2 times the upper limit of normal at the Screening visit;
          -  Clinically significant cardiovascular disease including:

                  patients with history of congestive heart failure NYHA class 3 or 4 in the past,
                  unless a screening echocardiogram or multi-gated acquisition scan performed
                  within three months results in a left ventricular ejection fraction that is ≥
                  45%;
               5. History of Mobitz II second degree or third degree heart block without a
                  permanent pacemaker in place;
               6. Uncontrolled hypertension as indicated by a resting systolic BP ≥160 mmHg or
                  diastolic BP ≥100 mmHg at screening. Patients may be re-screened after
                  adjustments of antihypertensive medications;
               7. Bradycardia as indicated by a heart rate of < 50 beats per minute on the
                  Screening ECG;

          -  Treatment with estrogens or AR inhibitors (bicalutamide, flutamide, nilutamide,
             cyproterone acetate) within 4 weeks of enrollment (Day 1 visit);
          -  Treatment with systemic biologic therapy for prostate cancer (other than approved bone
             targeted agents and GnRH-analogue therapy) or other agents with anti-tumour activity
             within 4 weeks of enrollment (Day 1 visit);
          -  Prior use of an investigational agent that blocks androgen synthesis (e.g.,

             (Day 1 visit);
          -  Any condition or reason that, in the opinion of the Investigator, interferes with the
             ability of the patient to participate in the trial, which places the patient at undue
             risk, or complicates the interpretation of safety data;
          -  Unable to swallow study medications and comply with study requirements
