Brief summary

Radium-223 is an established radionuclide therapy for patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and symptomatic bone metastasis. Patients are eligible for this treatment when they have mCRPC and bone metastases; limited extraskeletal lesions (local prostate, lymph nodes \<3 cm) on conventional contrast enhanced CT (ceCT) were allowed in the registration trial(1). Previous research revealed that extraskeletal disease on ceCT and bone scans correlates with a poor response. Meanwhile, 68Ga-PSMA-PET/CT emerged as more sensitive imaging strategy that increases the detection of extraskeletal prostate cancer metastases. It is unclear whether these extraskeletal lesions harbour any predictive value in the treatment of mCRPC patients with Radium-223.

Detailed description

Study design: The investigators will conduct a prospective clinical study in which patients with mCRPC and bone-only disease according to ceCT and bone scan will receive standard-of-care treatment with Radium-223. In addition to standard-of-care systemic treatment, each patient will undergo an additional 68Ga-PSMA-PET/CT scan at baseline and will be followed throughout the treatment with patient reported outcome measure (PROM) questionnaires (Kaiku application) and blood sampling for circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) analysis. The treating physicians will be blinded to the result of the baseline 68Ga-PSMA-PET/CT scan. Each patient will receive a maximum number of 6 cycles of Radium-223 therapy according to current clinical guidelines and will undergo response evaluation by ceCT and bone scans upon clinical progression. At clinical progression, each patient will undergo a second 68Ga-PSMA-PET/CT to determine the location of disease progression and assess the value of 68Ga-PSMA-PET/CT imaging as a response measure. The clinical response of Radium-223 therapy in the patients with bone-only disease according to 68Ga-PSMA-PET/CT scanning, will be compared to the treatment outcomes collected in our previously reported ROTOR registry. Secondary aims are to determine the value of ctDNA as predictive biomarker and the value of 68Ga-PSMA-PET/CT imaging in the response assessment.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Clinical progression free survival (cPFS)Up to 28 weeksThe primary study endpoint will be clinical progression free survival (cPFS) in 30 patients with bone-only disease according to PSMA PET/CT.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Baseline and changes in 68 Ga-PSMA-PET-CT parametersBaseline and until progressionBaseline and changes in 68Ga-PSMA-PET/CT parameters (disease localizations, extent of disease, tumor volume).
Genomic biomarkers in ctDNABefore treatment, cycle 3 and 5 and with progressionWe will determine whether homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) assessment in ctDNA correlates with a favorable therapy response. We will perform deep whole genome sequencing (WGS) of ctDNA to determine the clonal evolution of prostate cancer during Radium-223 therapy.
Patient reported outcome measures ( PROMs).In screening and cycle 2,3,4,5,6 (every 4 weeks) and with progressioncomplete questionnaires on health related quality of life (HRQoL), including the (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy) FACT-P: Score 1 to 4, Brief pain Inventory (BPI-SF): scale score from 1 to 10, and analgesics use; name, dosing, frequence and after every treatment cycle.
Overall survival (OS)In Follow up (q6months, max 24 months)OS will be defined as time from first Radium-223 treatment to the date of death, or censored at last follow-up.
