Comparison of standard care with radiation and medicinal therapy vs radiation alone for prostate cancer

Overview

About this study

Prostate cancer is one of the most prevalent malignancies affecting men worldwide, ranging from localized tumors to aggressive, metastatic disease (Siegel et al. 2023). An enormous array of treatments is available for treating prostate cancers, but the field faces a critical challenge in the lack of reliable biomarkers across the spectrum of disease that can direct treatment. This challenge is especially pressing in the current landscape where novel therapeutic approaches and personalized treatments are transforming prostate cancer for our patients.

This clinical trial aims to address the critical gap in prostate cancer management by rigorously evaluating and validating prostate cancer-derived extracellular vesicles (PC-EVs) across time and treatments. Critically, we seek to define these questions for patients among under-represented populations in this multi-group, multi-department, multi-center, investigator-initiated trial.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

      • Creatinine clearance for females = (140 − age)(weight in kg) (0.85) (72)(serum creatinine in mg⁄dL)

3.16     Provide written informed consent

3.17     Ability to complete questionnaire(s) by themselves or with assistance.

3.18     Willingness to provide mandatory blood specimens for correlative research

3.19a   Willingness to provide tissue specimens for correlative research 

3.19b   Willing to return to enrolling institution for follow-up (during the Active Monitoring Phase of the study)

Exclusion Criteria:


3.21     Any of the following because this study involves an investigational agent, the genotoxic, mutagenic, and teratogenic effects of which on the developing fetus and newborn are unknown

  • Pregnant persons
  • Nursing persons
  • Persons of childbearing potential or able to father a child who are unwilling to employ adequate contraception

3.22     Prior metastasis-directed therapy

3.23     Any of the following prior therapies:

  • Surgery ≤3 weeks prior to registration
  • Chemotherapy for prostate cancer at any time
  • Androgen receptor pathway inhibitor such as abiraterone, apalutamide, darolutamide, or enzalutamide in the last 2 years

3.24     Uncontrolled intercurrent non-cardiac illness including, but not limited to:

    • Ongoing or active infection
    • Psychiatric illness/social situations
    • Dyspnea at rest due to complications of advanced malignancy or other disease that requires continuous oxygen therapy
    • Any other conditions that would limit compliance with study requirements

3.25     Receiving any other investigational agent which would be considered as a treatment for prostate cancer.

3.26     Failure to recover from acute, reversible effects of prior therapy regardless of interval since last treatment
EXCEPTION: Grade 1 peripheral (sensory) neuropathy that has been stable for at least 3 months since completion of prior treatment

3.27     Co-morbid systemic illnesses or other severe concurrent disease which, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study or interfere significantly with the proper assessment of safety and toxicity of the prescribed regimens

3.28     Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to:

    • ongoing or active infection
    • symptomatic congestive heart failure
    • unstable angina pectoris
    • cardiac arrhythmia
    • or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements

3.29a   Receiving any other investigational agent which would be considered as a treatment for the primary neoplasm

3.29b   Other active malignancy ≤3 years prior to registration
EXCEPTIONS: Non-melanotic skin cancer or carcinoma-in-situ of the cervix
NOTE: If there is a history of prior malignancy, they must not be receiving other specific treatment such as chemotherapy or antihormonal therapy for their cancer.

3.29c   History of myocardial infarction ≤6 months, or congestive heart failure requiring use of ongoing maintenance therapy for life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias

Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria may apply.
