Oligometastatic Hormone Sensitive Prostate Cancer
Conditions
Brief summary
INDICATION: Oligometastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer patients. METHODOLOGY: Open label, double arm, randomized 1:1, multicenter phase III study. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy of ablative radiotherapy (SBRT applied to all oligometastases) administered to all gross tumor sites (metastases and prostate if applicable), in oligometastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer patients.
Interventions
Definition of standard of care (prior to randomization): * Radiotherapy to the prostate in de novo metastatic patients * Radiotherapy to the pelvic lymph nodes in patients with positive pelvic nodes (given as full dose to the positive lymph node and prophylactic dose to the pelvic nodal basin) * Long term ADT +/- intermittent treatment * Additional therapy following tumor board meeting : new generation hormonal therapy (abiraterone, enzalutamide, apalutamide or other approved) or chemotherapy (docetaxel). SBRT is delivered using the following regimen: 30 Grays (10 Gy x 3 fractions) for axial and appendicular bones and lymph node metastases if present. In case the dose cannot be safely delivered while maintaining a safe dose to the organs at risk, an alternate regimen (35 Gy in 5 fractions of 7 Gy) can be used.

Persons deprived of their liberty or under protective custody or guardianship; 11. Patients unwilling or unable to comply with the medical follow-up required by the trial because of geographic, familial, social, or psychological reasons; 12. Participation in another therapeutic trial within 30 days prior to randomization.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Castration-resistant prostate cancer free survival | From randomization to castration resistance or death from any cause, up to 1 year | Castration-resistant prostate cancer free survival, defined as the time from randomization to castration resistance or death from any cause. Castration resistance is defined as either biochemical progression or radiological progression, with serum testosterone being at a castrated level (\<50 ng/dL or \<1.7 nmol/L). |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Prostate cancer specific survival | From randomization to death from prostate cancer, up to 5 years | To evaluate, compared to standard of care, whether SRBT improves survival of patients until death from prostate cancer |
| Time to castration resistance | Time from randomization to castration resistance, up to 5 years | The length of time patients leave without resistance to castration treatment, where deaths occurring with no castration resistance (i.e. unrelated to prostate cancer) are censored |
| Time to next symptomatic skeletal event | Time from randomization to the first symptomatic skeletal event, up to 5 years | The length of time until manifestation of the first symptomatic skeletal event among the following: symptomatic bone fracture, surgery to bone or use of palliative radiotherapy to bone |
| Time to next symptomatic skeletal event at the treated metastatic bone sites | Time from randomization to the first symptomatic skeletal event, 5 years | The length of time until manifestation of the first symptomatic skeletal event, at a site irradiated during the study for patients in the experimental arm, among the following: symptomatic bone fracture, the use of bone surgery, or palliative bone radiotherapy and spinal cord compression |

| Acute and late toxicity of stereotactic radiotherapy of oligometastases: Adverse events | Throughout study completion, up to 5 years | The National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5 (NCI-CTCAE v5) is widely accepted in the community of oncology research as the leading rating scale for adverse events. This scale will assess the severity of sensory neuropathic disorders, this derivative into 5 grades determined by the investigator. |
| Severity of pain during treatment | At baseline before radiotherapy, week 6, and at every follow-up (every three months for the first three years then every 6 months for the last two years after randomization), up to 5 years | The Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) questionnaire rapidly assesses the severity of pain and its impact on functioning. This self-report questionnaire includes: * A body schema * The maximum pain, lowest pain, usual pain within the last 15 days (Numerical Numeric rating scales (NRS) 0 to 10 * Description of current analgesic treatment * An assessment of relief by a percentage scale (0-100%), Assessment of the impact of pain on: mood, relationships with others, walking, sleep, work, happiness the joy - of living, recreation, activities in general (digital scales, rating from 0 \[normal\] to 10 \[no activity\]). |
| The 3-level version of EQ-5D (EQ-5D-3L) questionnaire | At baseline, week 6, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, 5 years, and at castration resistance (up to 5 years) | This self-reported questionnaire that assesses the health-related quality of life of cancer patients in clinical trials consists of a descriptive system and a visual analogue scale (VAS). The EQ-5D-3L descriptive system comprises five dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression), each dimension has 3 levels (1 = no problems, 2 = some problems, and 3 = extreme problems). This questionnaire provide a 5-digit score which generate a health state profile. The VAS records the patient's self-rated health on a vertical visual analogue scale where the score range from 0 (Best imaginable health state) to 100 (Worst imaginable health state). The VAS is used as a quantitative measure of health outcome that reflects the patient's own judgement. |

Response options for each EPIC item form a Likert scale, and multi-item scale scores are transformed linearly to a 0-100 scale, with higher scores representing better health-related quality of life. |
| Cost-effectiveness analysis of the proposed therapeutic strategy | At baseline, week 6, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, 5 years, castration resistance (up to 5 years) | To evaluate the economic cost of the SBRT treatment as compared to the treatment without radiotherapy in terms of cost assessments, incremental cost-effectiveness ratio and quality of life adjusted life years |
