About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Multicenter, Three-arm, Randomized, Controlled Study Comparing the Efficacy of Neoadjuvant Hormonal Therapy Combined With Systemic Chemotherapy (NCHT), Neoadjuvant Hormonal Therapy (NHT) and Radical Prostatectomy Only in Locally Advanced Prostate Cancer

To evaluate of the value of radical prostatectomy and extended pelvic lymph node dissection in locally advanced prostate cancer after neoadjuvant hormonal therapy with or without docetaxel chemotherapy.

Read the detailed description

Using larger sample prospective randomized controlled study design, and comparing neoadjuvant HT combined with docetaxel chemotherapy to neoadjuvant HT followed by RP and extended lymph node dissection to determine whether neoadjuvant HT combined with docetaxel chemotherapy can more effectively improve biochemical progression-free survival of locally advanced prostate cancer patients.

Further analysis was performed to determine whether the treatment regimen helped to prolong the radiologic progression-free survival (rPFS) or OS in these patients.

The pathological changes of tumor before and after neoadjuvant treatment were also analyzed. To search for the important risk factors influencing the long-term prognosis of these patients, the safety characteristics of patients in different treatment groups were analyzed. Therefore, it can provide the basis for the formulation of the optimal treatment plan for locally advanced prostate cancer, prolong the survival time of patients and improve the quality of life.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with hormone therapyDrug

    Also called NCHT

    Docetaxel 75mg/m2 IV (every 3 weeks) +Prednisone 5mg BID orally + HT (Bicalutamide Tablets, 50mg QD orally; Goserelin, 3.6mg, subcutaneous injection, q28d), 4-6 cycles

  • Neoadjuvant hormone therapyDrug

    Also called NHT

    HT (Bicalutamide Tablets, 50mg QD orally; Goserelin, 3.6mg, subcutaneous injection, q28d), 3-6 cycles

  • Radical Prostatectomy (RP)+ extended lymph node dissectionProcedure or surgery

    Also called RP+ePLND

    Radical Prostatectomy (RP)+ extended lymph node dissection: Within three months after neoadjuvant treatment.

    Treatment after prostatectomy: There will not have any drug treatment after surgery until disease progression.

    Pelvic lymph node dissection is required to reach the level of bilateral iliac artery. If the postoperative pathology indicated positive incisional margin or pelvic lymph node metastasis, pelvic adjuvant radiotherapy should be performed within 3 months after surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. bPFS (Biochemical progression-free survival)

    Biochemical recurrence-free survival (bPFS): defined as the time from randomization to biochemical recurrence. The definition of biochemical recurrence is as follows: in the case of normal testosterone levels, the PSA was >0.2 ng/ml twice for more than 4 consecutive weeks.

    Measured: about 2 years

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. The 1-year biochemical progression-free survival (bPFS) rate

    The ratio of patients whose consecutive postoperative PSA <0.2ng/ml within 1-year.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Overall survival (OS)

    The time from randomization to death due to all causes.

    Measured: 5-10 years

  3. Radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS)

    The time from randomization to first confirmed imaging progression or death (whichever first is counted). Imaging progression was defined as one of the following: a. Progression of soft tissue lesions as defined in the revised RECIST 1.1 (Appendix 8) found by CT or MRI. b. Confirmation of bone metastasis lesions by ECT or PET-CT examination.

    Measured: 3-5 years

  4. TTPP

    The time from randomization to the time when PSA increased by 25%.

    Measured: 1-3 years

  5. ECOG score progression-free survival

    The time from treatment to the time of ECOG score progression.

    Measured: 3-5 years
