NCT04025372

Brief Summary

This research study is comparing the use of a new form of hormonal therapy used with radiation as a possible treatment for intermediate risk prostate cancer. More specifically, this research would help determine whether this new form of hormonal therapy is as effective as the standard hormone therapy while also preserving erectile function.

    3 months from end of treatment

  • PSA progression free survival

    3 years

  • Metastasis free survival

    3 years

  • Cause specific survival

    3 years

  • To evaluate differences in long-term maintenance of erectile function

    3 years

  • +8 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Bicalutamide+GnRH Agonist+Radiation Therapy

EXPERIMENTAL

* Bicalutamide is administered orally on a daily basis * GnRH Agonist as prescribed * Radiation therapy is administered starting 4-16 weeks after ADT

Drug: BicalutamideDrug: GnRH AgonistRadiation: Radiation Therapy

Darolutamide+Radiation Therapy

EXPERIMENTAL

* Darolutamide is administered orally twice daily * Radiation therapy is administered starting 4-16 weeks after Darolutamide

Radiation: Radiation TherapyDrug: Darolutamide

Interventions

Bicalutamide is categorized as an antiandrogen. Antiandrogens are substances that block the effects of testosterone. Cancer of the prostate depends on the male hormone testosterone for its growth. If the amount of testosterone is reduced it is possible to slow down or shrink the cancer.

Bicalutamide+GnRH Agonist+Radiation Therapy

In men, GnRH agonists cause the testicles to stop making testosterone. Some GnRH agonists are used to treat prostate cancer.

Bicalutamide+GnRH Agonist+Radiation Therapy

Radiation Therapy is a cancer treatment that uses high doses of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors.

Bicalutamide+GnRH Agonist+Radiation TherapyDarolutamide+Radiation Therapy

Darolutamide belongs to a class of drugs called androgen receptor inhibitors. In the body, these agents compete with androgens for binding to the androgen receptor, which reduces the ability of androgens to promote the growth of prostate cancer cells

Darolutamide+Radiation Therapy

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexmale
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Histologically confirmed prostate adenocarcinoma by biopsy within 1 year (365 days) from registration. The most recent biopsy will determine eligibility
  • National Cancer Center Network (NCCN) intermediate risk prostate cancer, defined as clinical T2b-T2c, Gleason 7, or PSA 10-20 ng/mL. Patients who only have radiographic evidence of T3 disease (i.e. extracapsular extension, or seminal vesical invasion radiographically) will not be excluded.
  • Able to characterize the number of unfavorable intermediate risk factors below:
  • intermediate risk factors
  • T2b-T2c
  • Gleason 7
  • PSA 10-20 ng/mL
  • Gleason 4+3 disease
  • Percent positive cores ≥ 50%
  • Tissue available for submission for Decipher genomic score from archived tissue. Patients who had tissue sent to Decipher but did not have sufficient tissue for processing will not be excluded. Patients who already have a Decipher score must present official report documentation.
  • Able to undergo radiation therapy with curative intent
  • Age ≥ 18 at the time of consent.
  • Demonstrate adequate organ function (hematologic, renal, hepatic) within 3 months of registration
  • System Laboratory Value
  • Hematological:
  • +22 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Prior surgical, cryotherapy, or high-intensity focused ultrasound for prostate cancer
  • Prior orchiectomy or hormonal therapy (gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists, non-steroidal anti-androgens)
  • Prior treatment with a first generation AR inhibitor (e.g. bicalutamide, flutamide, nilutamide, cyproterone acetate) or second generation AR inhibitor (e.g.Enzalutamide, Apalutamide, or Darolutamide)
  • Prior treatment with other investigational AR inhibitors, CYP17 enzyme inhibitor such as abiraterone acetate, TAK-700, or oral ketoconazole longer than 28 days
  • Prior use of estrogens; patients who have used testosterone injections must have ceased utilization within 90 days prior to screening testosterone. Patients who have used any other type of testosterone supplementation (e.g. patches) must have ceased utilization within 45 days prior to screening testosterone.
  • Use of 5-α reductase inhibitors (finasteride, dutasteride) within 28 days of randomization.
  • Prior radiation therapy that would result in overlap of current radiation therapy fields
  • Prior chemotherapy for prostate cancer
  • Clinically positive lymph nodes by imaging, sampling, or dissection. Patients with lymph nodes greater than 1.5 cm on short axis will require a negative biopsy for eligibility.
  • Metastatic disease, as assessed by abdominal or pelvic computed tomography (CT) or other imaging modality. Patients with 3 intermediate risk factors will require a CT abdomen/pelvis and a bone scan or PET imaging (PSMA PET/CT, fluciclovine PET/CT, etc.).
  • Erectile aids other than oral phosphodiesterase (PDE)-5 inhibitors
  • History of any of the following: Severe or unstable angina, myocardial infarction, symptomatic congestive heart failure New York Heart Association (NYHA) class III or IV, arterial or venous thromboembolic events (e.g., pulmonary embolism, cerebrovascular accident including transient ischemic attacks), clinically significant ventricular arrhythmias, moderate or severe hepatic impairment (Child Pugh Class B or C), viral hepatitis, or human immunodeficiency virus within 6 months prior to randomization.
  • Current untreated hypertension (systolic \>= 160 mmHg or diastolic \>= 100 mmHg). Patients with one blood pressure reading with systolic \< 160 mmHg and diastolic \< 100 mmHg within 90 days of registration would be eligible for study.
  • Individuals with a history of another malignancy are not eligible if:
  • The cancer is under active treatment
  • +5 more criteria
