Intermittent Androgen Deprivation Therapy With or Without Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy for Molecularly Identified Hormone Sensitive Oligometastatic Prostate Cancer
Canada60 participantsStarted 2020-10-27
Plain-language summary
This study is evaluating whether adding stereotactic radiotherapy (a new, more focused type of radiotherapy) to treat all the tumours that are present will improve outcomes or not compared to drugs alone for patients who are negative on conventional imaging and positive on PSMA PET scan

Inclusion criteria
. Age \> 18 years.
. Able to provide informed consent.
. Histologic diagnosis of prostate adenocarcinoma.
. ECOG performance status 0-1.
. Stage IV hormone sensitive, synchronous or metachronous oligometastatic prostate cancer as detected by PSMA PET-CT scan with no metastases visible on conventional imaging (CT chest/abdomen/pelvis and bone scan +/- MRI) performed within 3 months of starting ADT.
. Up to a maximum of 3 PSMA avid areas of metastatic disease.
. For patients with metachronous disease, there must be a documented PSA rise. For those who had previous prostatectomy, PSA must be \> 0.2 ng/mL. For those who had previous radical radiotherapy, PSA must have risen to at least 2 ng/mL above the nadir (Phoenix definition). The primary tumor must be controlled, with no PSMA avid progression within the primary prostate.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Proportion of eligible patients who enroll onto the study
Timeframe: Through accrual completion, approx 2 years
. All sites of disease are amenable to and can be safely treated with SBRT.
Exclusion criteria
. Significant comorbidities rendering patient not suitable for ADT and/or SBRT.
. History of malignancy within the past 5 years, excluding non-melanoma skin cancer and in-situ cancer.
. Prior use of salvage or palliative intent ADT. Prior ADT use allowed only if it was delivered neoadjuvantly, concurrently, or adjuvantly with curative-intent treatment to the prostate or prostate bed (for patients with metachronous presentations), and at least 12 months have elapsed.
