Prior treatment

  • Receiving androgen deprivation or other systemic therapy for prostate cancer.

Other illness

  • History of another primary cancer within the last 3 years, except for non-melanomatous skin cancer.
  • Medical condition or social situation that may preclude adherence to the protocol.

Who the study is looking for

  • Must have histologically confirmed prostate cancer.
  • Age ≥ 18 years.
  • ECOG performance status of 0-1.
  • Must have the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
  • Willing to provide serial blood samples for the study.
  • Willing to provide tumor tissue (prostatectomy for primary cohort; prostatectomy or biopsy for exploratory cohort) for correlative studies which will compare ctDNA to tumor specimens.
  • Primary Cohort: High-risk localized prostate adenocarcinoma defined as one or more of the following:
    • o Clinical stage ≥ cT3a, Grade Group 4 or 5 (Gleason sum 8-10), and PSA ≥ 20
    • \*Non-bulky pelvic lymphadenopathy and indeterminate findings on staging imaging (CT, bone scan, PSMA PET CT) are allowed if the surgeon believes RP is appropriate.
  • Exploratory Cohort: Men with a diagnosis of prostate adenocarcinoma and one of the following:
    • Localized prostate adenocarcinoma on active surveillance
    • Biochemically-recurrent prostate adenocarcinoma after definitive local therapy
    • Hormone-sensitive, metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma
    • Metastatic CRPC
