Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Randomized non-comparative phase II trial to assess the preliminary signs of antitumor activity of darolutamide plus radiation therapy in patients with unfavorable intermediate risk prostate cancer.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Multicentric randomized non-comparative, open-label, phase II trial, based on signle-stage design, to assess the preliminary signs of antitumor activity of darolutamide plus radiation therapy in patients with unfavorable intermediate risk prostate cancer.

Patients satisfying eligibility criteria will be randomized according to 2 treatment modalities

* Arm A (experimental arm): combination of external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) and 6 months darolutamide.
* Arm B (standard arm): combination of external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) and 6 months ADT (androgen deprivation therapy)

Two patients randomized in arm A for one patient randomized in arm B.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Experimental Arm A: combination of radiotherapy and darolutamide

Patients with unfavorable intermediate risk prostate cancer will be treated with darolutamide for a maximum of 6 months combined with external beam radiotherapy

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Association of darolutamide and EBRT

Intervention Type DRUG

Darolutamide will be taken orally at a fixed dose of 600 mg twice daily (1200 mg), on a continuous basis, for a maximum of 6 months. Darolutamide will start at Day 1.

\- External Beam Radiotherapy (EBRT) will start two months after treatment initiation. All patients will be treated with standard schedules:

* 78 Gy with classical 2 Gy/fractions, 5 days/7
* Or 60 Gy with 3 Gy/fractions, 5 days/7
* Use of IMRT and IGRT is mandatory
* Clinical Target Volume Definition according to GETUG Guidelines
* Organ at risk dose constraints according to RECORAD

Standard Arm B: combination of radiotherapy and androgen deprivation therapy

Patients with unfavorable intermediate risk prostate cancer will be treated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) as per market authorization combined with external beam radiotherapy

Group Type OTHER

Association of ADT and EBRT

Intervention Type DRUG

Treatment by Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) will be prescribed as per market authorization and following investigator judgement. ADT treatment will consist on:

* Either LH-RH agonist injection given every 3 months for 6 months, or once for 6 months,
* Either LH-RH antagonist given monthly for 6 months

External Beam Radiotherapy (EBRT) will start two months after treatment initiation. All patients will be treated by high dose irradiation in stereotactic conditions:

* 78 Gy with classical 2 Gy/fractions, 5 days/7
* Or 60 Gy with 3 Gy/fractions, 5 days/7
* Use of IMRT and IGRT is mandatory
* Clinical Target Volume Definition according to GETUG Guidelines
* Organ at risk dose constraints according to RECORAD

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Age ≥ 18,
2. Histological diagnosis of prostate malignancy cancer
3. Cancer without loco-regional or distant metastasis (tumor assessment must comprise at least Pelvic MRI AND thoraco-abdomino-pelvic contrast-enhanced CT-Scan AND Bone Scintigraphy. (Note that additional assessment by PET-Scan is allowed as per investigator judgement),
4. Unfavorable intermediate risk prostate cancer diagnosis defined by the NCCN Guidelines.

One of the following criteria is sufficient to define an unfavorable intermediate risk prostate cancer:
* Gleason = 7 (4+3)
* ≥ 50% of thecore of biopsies need to be positive for adenocarcinoma

If these criteria are not being identified, two or three of the following criteria are necessary to define unfavorable intermediate risk prostate cancer:
* PSA value between 10-20 ng/ml
* Gleason 7 (3+4) or 6
* T2b (clinical or radiological) Note: patients with iT3a can be included only if gleason score is 6 and PSA less than 20 .
5. Patients newly diagnosed with an unfavorable intermediate risk prostate cancer according to the protocol criteria or previously diagnosed with low risk (Gleason score \< 6, clinical stage \< T2a, and PSA\< 10) prostate cancer progressing to eligible risk disease according to the protocol criteria within 30 days before registration
6. Patients must have a life expectancy of at least 5 years,
7. Performance status ECOG ≤ 2,
8. Patients without contra-indications to EBRT as per physician judgement,
9. Patients with adequate organ function defined by all the following laboratory values
10. Available archived paraffin-embedded tumor sample for research purpose,
11. Patients with a social security in compliance with the french law,
12. Voluntary signed and dated written informed consent prior to any study specific procedure,
