NCT ID: NCT05232578

Last Updated: 2022-08-03

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: NOT_YET_RECRUITING
• Clinical Phase: PHASE3
• Total Enrollment: 380 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2022-09-30
• Study Completion Date: 2032-12-31

Brief Summary

The primary objective of the trial is to compare the impact and safety of delayed salvage therapy (dSRT, i.e., SRT initiated at PSA values of 0.4-0.5 ng/ml) to those of early salvage therapy (eSRT, i.e., at PSA levels of 0.2 ng/ml) in patients with biochemical relapse after radical prostatectomy.

The secondary objective of the trial is to perform analysis of the subgroups of patients to determine which patients are most likely to benefit from dSRT

Exploratory objective of the trial is to determine whether selected molecular genetic parameters (172 candidate genes and molecular alterations) and known clinical parameters can be used to identify potential predictors of worse prognosis in patients with known risk factors for relapse after radical prostatectomy, thereby augmenting and refining patient stratification, optimizing their therapy, and clarifying the proper timing of multimodal therapy

Conditions

Prostate Cancer

Study Design

• Allocation Method: RANDOMIZED
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: NONE

Study Groups

Arm A- early salvage radiotherapy (eSRT)

Early salvage radiotherapy (eSRT) will be administered immediately after the confirmation of the biochemical relapse (prostate-specific antigen PSA level increase to ≈ 0,2 ng/ml) after radical prostatectomy with defined risk factors and no clinical recurrence signs on prostate specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PSMA PET/CT).

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Early salvage radiotherapy (eSRT)

Intervention Type: RADIATION

eSRT administered immediately after the confirmation of the biochemical relapse (PSA ≈ 0.2ng/ml).

66-70Gy will be delivered to the bed of prostate. Radiotherapy will be optionally accompanied by androgen deprivation therapy.

Arm B- delayed salvage radiotherapy (dSRT)

The patient is by the biochemical relapse analysis (PSA level 0,2 ng/ml) referred for further follow-up of PSA values. dSRT is initiated, if PSA further increase to values of ≥ 0.4 ng/ml is confirmed and the presence of a potential clinical relapse is excluded with repeated PSMA-PET-CT in line with standard procedures

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Delayed Salvage radiotherapy (dSRT)

Intervention Type: RADIATION

dSRT administered if PSA levels increase to ≥ 0.4 ng/ml.

66-70Gy will be delivered to the bed of prostate. Radiotherapy will be optionally accompanied by androgen deprivation therapy.
