Brief summary

The purpose of this research study is to test the efficacy of ADT on prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), a marker of prostate cancer, before and after scheduled ADT. Follow up will be 48 months your prostate removal to do a blood test and log if any new or worsening symptoms have occurred as a part of your standard-of-care (SOC).

Detailed description

This is a single-arm, phase II, open label study in patients with localized high- risk prostate cancer (LHRPC) treated with neoadjuvant ADT (leuprolide, degarelix, relugolix, or triptorelin) followed by radical prostatectomy (RP). This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of neoadjuvant ADT based on maximal standardized uptake value (SUVmax) changes on 18F-Flotufolastat prostate- specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT scan in patients with LHRPC. Additionally, it will investigate the prognostic value of SUVmax changes in predicting biochemical recurrence-free survival.

Interventions

DRUGLeuprolide

22.5 mg IM every 3 months × 2 doses

DRUGDegarelix

240 mg SC loading dose, then 80 mg SC q28 days × 6 months

DRUGRelugolix

360 mg PO Day 1, then 120 mg PO daily × 6 months

DRUGTriptorelin

11.25 mg IM every 3 months × 2 doses

DRUGBicalutamide

Given only with leuprolide or triptorelin; 50 mg PO daily for 30 days

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST18-F Flotufolastat PSMA PET

296 MBq (8mCi) administered as an intravenous bolus injection prior to PSMA PET scan. May be administered diluted in normal saline (NS) or undiluted. The maximum volume of undiluted 18F-flotufolastat is 5mL. After administration, a flush with 0.9% NS will be given to ensure full delivery of the dose.

PROCEDURERadical prostatectomy

Surgery to occur 14 to 90 days after the pre-surgery visit. All RPs will be performed per institutional standard of care by fellowship-trained urologic oncologists, with an extended pelvic lymph-node dissection when clinically indicated.

Inclusion criteria

* Signed informed consent must be obtained prior to participation in the study. * Males aged ≥18 years. * ECOG performance status ≤ 1 * Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate in a patient amenable to radical prostatectomy * Pathologically proven prostate adenocarcinoma with ≥ 1 High-risk feature based on NCCN guidelines. 1. cT3-cT4 2. International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) Grade group 4 (Gleason score 8) or grade group 5 (Gleason score 9-10) 3. PSA \>20 ng/mL * Clinically negative lymph nodes as established by PSMA PET/CT imaging. Patients who are node positive by PSMA PET/CT (e.g., N1), but whose nodes do not meet traditional size criteria for positivity (e.g., they measure ≥ 10mm on either the CT or MRI portion of the PET or on a dedicated CT or MRI) will not be considered N1 and would be eligible for this study. * Patient is willing to use barrier-method of contraception along with another effective contraceptive method if engaged in sexual activity with a pregnant person or individual of childbearing potential (until 1 week after completing 18F-flotufolastat PSMA PET/CT Scans. * Clinical laboratory values during screening: 1. Hemoglobin ≥ 10.0 g/dL 2. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.8 × 10⁹/L 3. Platelets ≥ 100 × 10⁹/L

Exclusion criteria

* Known allergies, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to 18F-flotufolastat. * Unable to receive androgen deprivation therapy. * Prostate cancer with significant neuroendocrine or other rare variant pathology * Evidence of metastatic disease involving bone, viscera, or lymph nodes superior to the bifurcation of the common iliac arteries on PSMA PET/CT * Renal impairment (glomerular filtration rate \<30 mL/min) * History of prior radiation therapy for prostate cancer * Any of the following within 6 months prior to the first dose of study treatment: severe or unstable angina, myocardial infarction, symptomatic congestive heart failure, clinically significant ventricular arrhythmias, or New York Heart Association Class II to IV heart disease. * Uncontrolled severe hypertension, persistent uncontrolled diabetes, oxygen-dependent lung disease, chronic liver disease, or untreated HIV infection. * Other malignancies other than prostate cancer in the past 5 years a. Cured basal cell or squamous cell skin cancers can be enrolled. * Severe or uncontrolled concurrent infections are not eligible. * Treated with concomitant cytotoxic cancer therapy for any other primary site. * Patients who are unable to complete the study requirements of 2nd PSMA imaging or surgery for the primary endpoints. * Any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would preclude participation in this study.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Objective response rate (ORR) based on PSMA PET6 MonthsORR is based on changes in maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax) on PSMA PET/CT imaging pre- and post-ADT. Complete response (CR) is defined as resolution of all PSMA-avid lesions. Partial response (PR) is defined as \>30% decrease in SUVmax. Progressive disease (PD) is defined as \>30% increase in SUVmax or presence of new PSMA-avid lesions. Stable disease (SD) is defined as not meeting criteria for CR, PR, or PD. ORR is defined as the proportion of participants having CR or PR after ADT based on SUVmax.
ORR based on Response Evaluation Criteria in PSMA Imaging (RECIP 1.0)6 MonthsORR in this endpoint is based on RECIP 1.0 criteria. Complete response (CR) is defined as disappearance of all PSMA-avid disease. Partial response (PR) is defined as ≥30% increase in total tumor volume. Progressive disease (PD) is defined as ≥20% increase in total tumor volume or presence of new PSMA-avid lesions. Stable disease (SD) is defined as not meeting criteria for CR, PR, or PD. ORR is defined as the proportion of participants having CR or PR after ADT based on RECIP 1.0.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) response rate36 MonthsDefined as the proportion of participants with a PSA reduction of at least 50% (PSA50) immediately prior to RP compared with baseline PSA after treatment with ADT.
Biochemical recurrence-free survival (BCR) with testosterone recovery36 monthsBCR with testosterone recovery is defined as the time from ADT initiation to PSA ≥0.2 ng/mL after RP once testosterone has normalized. Median times will be calculated for responders (CR and PR) and non-responders (SD and PD).
