Who can take part

AI summary

From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.

The trial is looking for men with prostate cancer of intermediate or high risk who are willing to have radiotherapy and have not yet had hormone therapy or other treatment for it.

Age
18 years or older
Sex
Men only
Disease stage
Prostate cancer confirmed by tissue examination (adenocarcinoma), intermediate to high risk (PSA>10ng/mL, cT-stage≥2b, Gleason score≥7 or Decipher Score ≥0.45). No spread outside the pelvis.
Earlier treatment
Cannot join if they had ADT, chemotherapy, surgery or other drug treatment for prostate cancer, earlier pelvic radiotherapy, or an earlier PSMA PET scan.

Main reasons for not taking part

  • Spread to organs outside the pelvis (M1 disease)
  • Small cell or neuroendocrine prostate cancer
  • Heart problems, stroke or pulmonary embolism in the last 6 months
  • Another active cancer in the last 24 months, with some exceptions
  • Health conditions that make radiotherapy unsafe, such as active inflammatory bowel disease

Who can take part

  • Male
  • The participant must agree not to donate sperm for the purpose of reproduction until 24 hours following the dose of study intervention
  • 18 years of age or older
  • Signed an informed consent form (ICF) indicating that the participant understands the purpose of, and the procedures required for the study and is willing to participate in the study: participants must be willing and able to adhere to the prohibitions and restrictions specified in this protocol
  • Histopathology-confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate
  • Intermediate- to high-risk disease (PSA>10ng/mL, cT-stage≥2b, Gleason score≥7 or Decipher Score ≥0.45)
  • Willingness to undergo radiotherapy
  • Treating radiation oncologist intends to incorporate PSMA PET findings into the radiotherapy plan, if patient undergoes PSMA PET (arm 2)
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status Grade 0 or 1
  • The participant must wear a condom when engaging in any sexual activity that allows the passage of ejaculate to another person while on study intervention, and for 24 hours following the dose of study intervention. Participants should also be advised of the benefit for a female partner to use a highly effective method of contraception as condom may break or leak

Who cannot take part

  • Previous treatment with ADT for prostate cancer
  • Prior treatment with a CYP17 inhibitor (e.g., oral ketoconazole, orteronel, abiraterone acetate, galeterone) or any AR antagonist including bicalutamide, flutamide, nilutamide, apalutamide, enzalutamide or darolutamide and any other medications that may lower androgen levels (estrogens, progestins, aminoglutethimide, etc.), including bilateral orchiectomy
  • Any of the following within 6 months prior to the trial intervention: severe or unstable angina, myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, stroke, clinically significant ventricular arrhythmias or NYHA Class II to VI heart disease; uncomplicated deep vein thrombosis is not considered exclusionary
  • Use of 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor ≤4 weeks prior to randomization
  • Prior chemotherapy for prostate cancer
  • Concurrent or prior surgery or systemic therapy for prostate cancer
  • Any other investigational medicinal product within 2 days or within 5 times the elimination half-life of the respective investigational product prior receiving study intervention
  • Prior PSMA PET
  • Prior pelvic RT
  • Extra-pelvic metastases (M1 disease) on any imaging or biopsy done before randomization
  • Hypersensitivity to the active substance, to any of the excipients listed in section 6.1 of the SmPC of 68Ga-PSMA-11 or to any of the components of the labelled radiopharmaceutical
  • Active malignancies (i.e., Progressing or requiring treatment change in the last 24 months) other than disease being treated under study. Allowed exceptions [...]
  • Contraindications to radiotherapy (including active inflammatory bowel disease)
  • Any condition for which, in the opinion of the investigator, participation would not be in the best interest of the participant
  • Pathological finding consistent with small cell, or neuroendocrine carcinoma of the prostate
  • Any kind of radiopharmaceutical within a period corresponding to 8 half-lives of the respective radionuclide

About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

To assess difference in efficacy between curative-intent RT based on PSMA PET vs based on standard-of care imaging, in patients with primary prostate cancer (intermediate- or high-risk) for whom curative-intent RT is appropriate given the imaging results.
