Protocol Number

NCT#05050084

Background Information

De-Intensification Study:
To determine whether men with National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN)
unfavorable intermediate risk (UIR) prostate cancer and lower Decipher genomic risk
(Decipher score < 0.40) treated with RT alone instead of 6 months ADT + RT experience
non-inferior rate of distant metastasis.

Intensification Study:
To determine whether men with NCCN UIR prostate cancer who are in the higher
genomic risk (Decipher score ≥0.40) will have a superior metastasis-free survival through
treatment intensification with darolutamide added to the standard of RT plus 6 months
ADT.

Eligibility Information

  • Age ≥ 18;
  • ECOG Performance Status of 0-2 within 120 days prior to registration;
  • Non-castrate testosterone level (>50ng/dL) within 120 days prior to registration;
  • Adequate hematologic function within 120 days prior to registration defined as follows:
    • Absolute Neutrophil  1,000 cells/mm3
    • Hemoglobin  8.0 g/dL, independent of transfusion and/or growth factors
    • Platelet count ≥ 100,000 cells/mm3 independent of transfusion and/or growth factors
  • Pathologically (histologically or cytologically) proven diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the
    prostate by biopsy, with most recent biopsy (if multiple) within 365 days prior to
    registration;
  • Unfavorable intermediate risk prostate cancer, defined as having ALL the following
    bulleted criteria:
    • Has at least one intermediate risk factor (IRF):
    - PSA 10-20 ng/mL
    - Clinical stage T2b-c (DRE and/or imaging) by American Joint Committee on
    Cancer (AJCC) 8th edition
    - Gleason Score 7 (Gleason 3+4 or 4+3 [ISUP Grade Group 2-3])
    • Has ONE or more of the following 'unfavorable' intermediate-risk designators:
    - >1 IRF
    - Gleason 4+3=7 (ISUP Grade Group 3)
    - ≥50% of biopsy cores positive*
  • HIV-infected patients on effective anti-retroviral therapy with undetectable viral load
    within 6 months are eligible for this trial; Note: HIV testing is not required for eligibility
    for this protocol.
  • For patients with a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have been treated
    and cured. For patients with HCV infection who are currently on treatment, they are
    eligible if they have an undetectable HCV viral load.

Ineligibility Information

  • Previous radical surgery (prostatectomy) or any form of curative-intent ablation whether
    focal or whole-gland (e.g., cryosurgery, HIFU, laser thermal ablation, etc.) for prostate
    cancer.
  •  Definitive clinical or radiologic evidence of metastatic disease (M1).
  • Prior hematologic or invasive solid tumor malignancy (except non-melanomatous skin
    cancer) unless disease and treatment free for a minimum of 3 years.
  • Prior radiotherapy to the prostate/pelvis region that would result in overlap of radiation
    therapy fields.
  • Previous hormonal therapy, such as LHRH agonists (e.g., leuprolide, goserelin, buserelin,
    triptorelin) or LHRH antagonist (e.g. degarelix), anti-androgens (e.g., flutamide,
    bicalutamide, cyproterone acetate). ADT started prior to study registration is not allowed.
  •  Active testosterone replacement therapy; 
  • Inability to swallow oral pills.
  •  High Risk features, which includes any of the following:
    • Gleason 8-10 [ISUP Grade Group 4-5]
    • PSA>20
    • cT3-4 by digital exam OR gross extra-prostatic extension on imaging
    [indeterminate MRI evidence will not count and the patient will be eligible]
