Plain-language summary
The aim of this registry study with long-term follow-up is to record the course of therapy and disease in patients with recurrent and metastatic prostate cancer. The following patient groups are planned:
* Patients with a recurrence of PSA after surgical removal or radiation of the prostate due to prostate cancer; so-called PSA recurrence (relapse) or biochemical recurrence.
* Patients with a PSA recurrence who have received treatment by hormone deprivation therapy (so-called androgen deprivation) and in whom the PSA value has nevertheless risen again without spreading to other organs or parts of the body, so-called non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
* Patients with proven spread to other organs or parts of the body (= metastases, e.g. in the bone) without hormone deprivation therapy having been initiated, so-called metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.
* Patients with prostate cancer and spread to other organs or parts of the body (= metastases) in whom the tumor disease has progressed despite hormone withdrawal treatment (e.g. as evidenced by an increase in PSA), so-called metastatic castration-refractory prostate cancer.
These four groups of patients are enrolled and observed independently of each other at different time periods.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Adult prostate cancer patients (age ≥18 years).
* Diagnosis at time of study inclusion Cohort 1: biochemical recurrence (BCR) after local curative intended treatment (e.g. radical prostatectomy, radiotherapy of the prostate or combination thereof) Cohort 2: non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) or Cohort 3: metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) or Cohort 4: metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) (irrespective of treatment choice, treatment line)
* Patients who will receive a new line of systemic therapy at the time of study entry or up to 4 weeks thereafter. Regarding Cohort 4 this includes patients with a new diagnosis of mCRPC (=first line mCRPC) after either treatment for mHSPC or non-metastatic CRPC as well as patients with prior mCRPC treatments (2nd, 3rd, … line).
* For Cohorts 1, 2 and 3: Disease proven by clinical measures (i.e. standard imaging) to be either unsuitable for local salvage treatment (e.g. surgery, radiotherapy) or local treatment is declined by the patient.
* Patients, who are able and willing to sign the informed consent form
Exclusion Criteria:
• Patients who are not eligible for observation due to severe comorbidities or unavailability according to the treating physician
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.
