Working Out M0 Bipolar Androgen Therapy
Australia69 participantsStarted 2024-08-14
Plain-language summary
The WOMBAT study will test if BAT can prolong the time it takes for nmCRPC prostate cancer to become detectable in other areas of the body (metastatic disease).
Approximately 69 participants over the age of 18 with castrate resistant prostate cancer, no evidence of metastatic disease (M0) on conventional imaging (WBBS and CT scan at screening) and PSA only progression on darolutamide will be enrolled from approximately 8 sites within Australia.
Participants will receive continuous androgen deprivation therapy with LHRH agonists/antagonists. The study intervention will be IM testosterone enthanate, injected on day 1 of each 56-day cycle. Concurrent darolutamide will be taken at a dose of 600mg BD on days 29-56 of each cycle. Both LHRH and agonist/antagonist and darolutamide are supplied through the PBS as standard of care medications. Administration of both testosterone and darolutamide will continue until disease progression, beyond disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, death, withdrawal of consent or study Sponsor termination of the study.
Primary objective (endpoint) is to determine the metastasis-free survival (time from commencing BAT to evidence of metastases or death)

Inclusion criteria
. Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate
. ≥18 years of age
. ECOG performance status 0-1
. PSA progression while on darolutamide defined as three rising PSA (1 baseline and 2 consecutive rises) levels at least 1 week apart despite castrate testosterone level (\<1.7nmol/L). Patients with a minor subsequent PSA fall, provided there was no intervening therapy since the three consecutive rises, are eligible
. AJCC stage M0 on conventional imaging.
. Previous PSMA PET only M1 disease in the hormone-sensitive setting that is now M0 CRPC on conventional imaging following \>18 months of ADT + darolutamide are eligible.
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

Metastases free survival
Timeframe: From date of commencing Bipolar Androgen Therapy (BAT) until first documented evidence of metastatic disease or date of death, assessed every 8 weeks, on average 4 years
Trial details
NCT IDNCT06594926
SponsorAustralian and New Zealand Urogenital and Prostate Cancer Trials Group
. Nodes up to 2cm in short-axis in pelvis are permitted
. PSA \>1.0 ng/mL during screening
Exclusion criteria
. Life expectancy \<3 months.
. Neuroendocrine or small cell prostate cancer on any prior diagnostic tissue sample.
. Metastatic prostate cancer on conventional imaging (WBBS or CT scan) at any point in disease course (except for pathological nodes up to 2cm in short axis in the pelvis).
. Current or prior treatment with enzalutamide, abiraterone, apalutamide, or cytotoxic chemotherapy. Patients with pelvic nodal metastases (below the aortic bifurcation) \<2cm in short axis at original diagnosis who ceased cytotoxic chemotherapy (docetaxel) at least 12 months prior to C1D1 are eligible. Prior first generation ARSI such as bicalutamide, flutamide, nilutamide are permitted.
. Current or pre-existing cardiac or thromboembolic risk factors, including but not limited to:
. Another malignancy diagnosis within 2 years before registration. Participants with a history of treated carcinoma in situ, basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or non-muscle invasive urothelial carcinoma of the bladder are eligible if malignancy has been treated with curative intent. Participants with a history of other malignancies are eligible if they have been continuously disease-free for at least 2 years after definitive primary treatment or the chance of recurrence is sufficiently low as to be very unlikely to affect study outcomes according to the treating local oncologist.
. Concurrent illness that could preclude the participant's ability to participate in the study and follow protocol with reasonable safety.
. Planned ongoing drug Interactions as per protocol section 5.2.4 that are considered unable to be managed prior to study registration.
