Overview

The high incidence of prostate cancer is one of the important diseases that threaten the health of old men in our country. Although androgen deprivation therapy is an important treatment option for prostate cancer, although neoadjuvant androgen deprivation therapy combined with radical prostatectomy reduced the positive rate of surgical margins, it did not show statistically significant improvement in prostate-specific antigen (PSA). At the same time, few trials reported pathological complete response (pCR) and minimal residual lesion (MRD).

The purpose of this project is to verify the therapeutic effect of homoharringtonine combined androgen deprivation in patients with locally advanced prostate cancer or oligometastatic prostate cancer before radical prostatectomy through a randomized controlled clinical trial, so as to find an effective treatment for locally advanced prostate cancer or oligometastatic prostate cancer.

Description

This study will divide patients into two sections, and eligible patients will be enrolled. Patients with locally advanced prostate cancer or oligo-metastatic prostate cancer were divided into two groups, homoharringtonine combined with androgen deprivation and placebo combined with androgen deprivation, according to a computer-generated random sequence. Treatment group was given 1mg intravenous infusion of homoharringtonine + 250ml 5% glucose injection, once a day for two consecutive days, and repeated medication after three weeks of intermittent treatment for two cycles + continuous androgen deprivation therapy; In the placebo group, the same size, color, and dosage form of 5% glucose injection were used, and the administration was the same as in the treatment group. After starting the intervention, all patients should be followed up in our hospital every treatment cycle to review blood PSA and other indicators. At the end of the treatment cycle, imaging examinations were followed up and radical prostatectomy was performed 3 weeks later (±7 days).

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • ① Age ≥18 years and ≤85 years;
    • Histologically confirmed prostate cancer without small cell features;
      • Metastatic prostate cancer was identified by imaging examination with ≤5 oligometastases (bone or lymph node metastases) or cT3-4 stages; ④The score of ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) was 0-1; ⑤ All patients voluntarily sign informed consent, and can adhere to treatment and follow-up;

Exclusion Criteria:

  • ①Any previous or ongoing PCa treatment, including radiotherapy, chemotherapy, ADT, etc.
    • Previous prostatectomy;
      • Any other serious basic medical, mental, psychological, and other diseases that, in the judgment of the investigator, may affect the treatment of the patient
        • Allergic to the drugs used; ⑤ Refuse to undergo radical prostatectomy; ⑥ According to the investigator's judgment, it is not suitable to participate in this clinical trial;

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?
