Overview

This research is being done to determine if we can improve the outcome of prostate cancer patients who have failed primary treatment - surgery or local radiation to the prostate - and have three or fewer bone or soft tissue metastases.

Description

This study will compare the effects, good and/or bad, of using the standard of care treatment (systemic therapy + primary prostate radiation) compared to standard of care treatment plus stereotactic ablative radiation therapy (SABR) to metastatic lesions for prostate patients. The researchers are also trying to learn if the addition of SABR will affect recurrence rates. Presence of circulating tumor cells, gut bacteria, and quality of life will be assessed for both groups.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Patient must have at least one and up to three asymptomatic metastatic tumor(s) of the bone or soft tissue (with at least one bone metastasis) develop within the past 6-months that are seen on imaging. Up to five lesions are allowed on advanced functional imaging such as fluciclovine (Axumin), choline or PSMA PET-CT scan.
    1. CT or MRI scan within 6 months of enrollment
    2. Bone scan within 6 months of enrollment
    3. Fluciclovine (Axumin), choline, or PSMA PET-CT scan within 6 months of enrollment (PET-CT scan is reasonable for study entry imaging as an alternative to CT/MRI scan and bone scan)
  2. Histologic confirmation of malignancy (primary or metastatic tumor).
  3. Patient may have had prior systemic therapy and/or ADT associated with treatment within 9-months of enrollment.
  4. PSA > 0.5 but <100.
  5. Patient must be ≥ 18 years of age.
  6. Patient must have a life expectancy ≥ 12 months.
  7. Patient must have an ECOG performance status ≤ 2.
  8. Patient must have the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).
  2. Prior radiation therapy to an overlapping site of a target lesion that would preclude further radiation therapy
  3. Spinal cord compression or impending spinal cord compression.
  4. Suspected pulmonary and/or liver metastases (greater >10 mm in largest axis).
  5. Patient receiving any other investigational agents.
  6. Inability to receive any form of systemic therapy in the opinion of a treating medical oncologist .
  7. Unable to lie flat during or tolerate PET/MRI, PET/CT or SABR.
  8. No radiographical evidence of cranial metastasis.
  9. Refusal to sign informed consent.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
