Brief summary

MAZINGA is a prospective, single-group pilot study evaluating disease control after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy with extended pelvic lymph-node dissection in men with oligometastatic hormone-sensitive prostate adenocarcinoma who have received androgen-deprivation therapy for at least 6 months and achieved a serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level below 4 ng/mL. Eligible participants have no more than five bone metastases confined to the spine and/or pelvis, no visceral or retroperitoneal lymph-node metastases, and no bulky pelvic lymph nodes. All participants undergo surgery and continue androgen-deprivation therapy as prescribed by their treating oncologist. PSA and serum testosterone are assessed for 24 months. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography plus whole-body bone scintigraphy, or prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography according to the imaging approach used at staging and clinical judgment, is performed every 6 months. The study evaluates overall survival, progression-free survival, pathological and PSA responses, quality of life, serum biomarkers, urinary complications, and conversion to open surgery.

Detailed description

Radical prostatectomy is being investigated as a cytoreductive treatment in selected men with oligometastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer who respond to androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT). MAZINGA is a prospective, single-centre, single-group pilot study designed to obtain preliminary estimates of survival and treatment response after the addition of radical prostatectomy to ongoing ADT. Eligible participants have acinar prostate adenocarcinoma, no more than five bone metastases confined to the spine and/or pelvis, no visceral or retroperitoneal nodal metastases, no bulky pelvic nodes greater than 3 cm, an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1, and a PSA level below 4 ng/mL after at least 6 months of ADT. Participants undergo robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy with modified extended bilateral pelvic lymph-node dissection. ADT is continued according to the treating oncologist. PSA and serum testosterone are measured at months 1 and 3 and every 3 months thereafter through month 24. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the chest and abdomen plus whole-body bone scintigraphy are performed every 6 months through month 24; PSMA PET may be used instead according to the imaging modality used at staging and clinical judgment. EPIC-CP and IPSS questionnaires are administered at months 3 and 12. After month 24, survival status is assessed every 6 months. The planned convenience sample is 30 participants. Baseline characteristics and biomarker data are summarised descriptively, and survival outcomes are estimated using Kaplan-Meier methods. Radiological response is planned to be assessed according to RECIST version 1.1; the operational definition across the permitted imaging modalities must be confirmed before release.

Interventions

PROCEDURERobot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy With Extended Pelvic Lymph-Node Dissection

Robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy is performed under general anaesthesia and is preceded by a modified extended bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy including the iliac-obturator and presacral regions. The procedure is performed with the Da Vinci robotic surgical system. Ongoing androgen-deprivation therapy is managed by the treating oncologist

Exclusion criteria

* Special histological subtypes of prostate carcinoma * PSA greater than 100 ng/mL at diagnosis before starting androgen-deprivation therapy. * Visceral metastases or retroperitoneal lymph-node metastases. * Pelvic lymph-node metastases greater than 3 cm. * More than 5 metastatic bone lesions or bone metastases outside the spine or pelvis. * Concomitant treatment with other antineoplastic agents, including investigational endocrine therapies. * Hypogonadism or severe androgen deficiency defined as serum testosterone below 100 ng/dL. * History of pituitary or adrenal insufficiency. * Concomitant or planned treatment with medicines that affect androgen metabolism, including spironolactone, ketoconazole, finasteride or dutasteride. * Active malignancy or malignancy diagnosed within the previous 5 years, except basal-cell carcinoma of the skin. * Uncontrolled arterial hypertension, defined as systolic blood pressure at least 160 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure at least 95 mmHg.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall SurvivalFrom the date of radical prostatectomy until death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years after radical prostatectomy.Overall survival is defined as the time from the date of radical prostatectomy to death from any cause. Participants who are alive at the time of analysis will be censored at the last date on which they were known to be alive
Progression-Free SurvivalFrom the date of radical prostatectomy until the first documented radiological disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 24 months after radical prostatectomy.Time from radical prostatectomy to radiological disease progression or death in the absence of documented progression. Radiological progression will be assessed according to the protocol-defined imaging criteria.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite for Clinical Practice Total and Domain ScoresAt 3 months and 12 months after radical prostatectomy.The Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite for Clinical Practice (EPIC-CP) assesses prostate cancer-related health-related quality of life across five domains: urinary incontinence, urinary irritation/obstruction, bowel symptoms, sexual symptoms, and vitality/hormonal symptoms. Each domain score ranges from 0 to 12, and the overall score ranges from 0 to 60. Higher scores indicate greater symptom burden and worse health-related quality of life. The five domain scores and the overall score will be summarised descriptively at each assessment time point.
International Prostate Symptom Score Total ScoreAt 3 months and 12 months after radical prostatectomy.The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) is a seven-item patient-reported questionnaire assessing lower urinary tract symptoms. Each item is scored from 0 to 5, resulting in a total score ranging from 0 to 35. Higher scores indicate more severe urinary symptoms. Total scores are classified as mild symptoms (0-7), moderate symptoms (8-19), or severe symptoms (20-35). The total score will be summarised descriptively at each assessment time point.
Pathological Complete Response RateAt radical prostatectomy (Day 0)Percentage of participants with no residual prostate carcinoma identified on histopathological examination of the radical prostatectomy specimen following androgen-deprivation therapy
PSA Response RateFrom the baseline sample to From the baseline sample to 5 years from last prostatectomyPercentage of participants with a decrease in serum PSA of at least 50% from the protocol-defined baseline sample
Serum Testosterone ConcentrationScreening and 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 and 24 months after radical prostatectomySerum testosterone concentration summarised at each scheduled assessment.
Serum Alkaline Phosphatase ConcentrationScreening and 1, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after radical prostatectomySerum alkaline phosphatase concentration summarised at each scheduled assessment
Serum C-Terminal Telopeptide Concentrationassessment schedule through 24 months from prostatectomySerum C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen concentration, if collected, summarised at each scheduled assessment
Incidence of Postoperative Upper and Lower Urinary Tract ComplicationsFrom surgery through 24 months after radical prostatectomyPercentage of participants experiencing one or more postoperative complications involving the upper or lower urinary tract after radical prostatectomy
Conversion to Open SurgeryDuring surgery (Day 0)Percentage of attempted laparoscopic robot-assisted radical prostatectomy procedures converted to an open surgical approach
Radiological Response to Androgen-Deprivation TherapyFrom pre-ADT baseline imaging to preoperative screening after at least 6 months of androgen-deprivation therapyPercentage of participants with a radiological response according to the protocol-defined criteria when pre-treatment imaging is compared with the preoperative assessment after androgen-deprivation therapy
