Overview

The objective of the study is to evaluate the predictive value of TMPRSS2-ERG gene fusion and PTEN in patients with high risk prostate cancer treated with first line LHRH agonist after biochemical failure.

Description

The objective of the study is to evaluate the predictive value of TMPRSS2-ERG gene fusion and PTEN in patients with high risk prostate cancer treated with first line LHRH agonist after biochemical failure.

Patients in this study will be treated with standard hormonal treatment. Patients will remain on treatment regardless of rising PSA. PSA, other systemic therapy maybe added and the patients with oligometastasis could be treated with radiation therapy; this would be at the discretion of the treating oncologist.

The primary endpoint of this study is to determine the predictive value of TMPRSS2-ERG gene fusion and PTEN in hormonal refractory free survival and clinical progression rate in three years. The secondary endpoints are to evaluate the relation between Gleason score and TMPRSS2-ERG gene fusion and PTEN independently and together, the relation between T stage and TMPRSS2-ERG gene fusion and PTEN independently and together, and to determine the association of these markers with overall survival.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • T3a +
  • PSA > 20
  • Gleason 8 or higher
  • Karnofsky performance status ≥ 70.
  • Signed study-specific 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.
