Trial summary

This is an open-label, phase II trial in patients with PSA recurrence after prostatectomy. Patients entering the study will all receive initial 50 Gray (Gy) radiotherapy (25 x 2Gy) to the prostate bed and thereafter be classified as either responders or non-responders depending on PSA response at fifth week of… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Prospective Evaluation of 68-Ga-PSMA -PET and Early PSA Kinetics During Salvage Radiotherapy for Personalizing the Management of Men With Relapse of Prostate Cancer After Radical Prostatectomy

This is an open-label, phase II trial in patients with PSA recurrence after prostatectomy. Patients entering the study will all receive initial 50 Gray (Gy) radiotherapy (25 x 2Gy) to the prostate bed and thereafter be classified as either responders or non-responders depending on PSA response at fifth week of radiotherapy.

A 68-Ga- PSMA-PET is done before start of radiotherapy, and analyzed before fifth treatment week in order to identify cancer lesions in patients with poor PSA response. Patients with PSA response after 5 weeks of radiotherapy will not receive any subsequent therapy, whilst patients with poor PSA response may be in need for additional therapy such as radiotherapy to lymph node metastases and/or boost fractions to local recurrence. Patients with more than 3 lymph node metastases or distant metastases will not receive any more radiotherapy, but individualized systemic therapy will be started.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Tumor detection rate measured with Ga-PSMA-PET in non-responders versus responders.

    Measured: PSA response is evaluated after 5 weeks of radiotherapy. Ga-PSMA-PET at baseline is compared in the PSA-responder group as compared to the non-responder group

  2. Assessment of PSA response during radiotherapy.

    Measured: Is evaluated once weekly during radiotherapy, duration of radiotherapy is 35 days; 70 Gy in 2 Gy fractions.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing External radiation therapy in people with Relapsed Prostate Cancer, run by Lund University Hospital at 1 site in Sweden.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 May 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Sweden. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Tumor detection rate measured with Ga-PSMA-PET in non-responders versus responders. (time frame: PSA response is evaluated after 5 weeks of radiotherapy. Ga-PSMA-PET at baseline is compared in the PSA-responder group as compared to the non-responder group). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02699424, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 May 2020.
