Trial summary

Immunotherapy is currently revolutionizing the field in oncology. However, prostate cancer is poorly responsive to immune checkpoint inhibition. The combination of immunotherapy and radiotherapy is an emerging clinical treatment aradigm. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: PD-L1-expressing Regulatory T Cells in Blood and Urine of Localized Prostate Cancer Patients Undergoing Iodine-125 Permanent Brachytherapy

Immunotherapy is currently revolutionizing the field in oncology. However, prostate cancer is poorly responsive to immune checkpoint inhibition. The combination of immunotherapy and radiotherapy is an emerging clinical treatment aradigm. X-ray radiation treatment can activate both the adaptive and innate immune systems through directly killing tumor cells, causing mutations in tumor-derived peptides, and causing localized inflammation that increases immune cell trafficking to tumors. Recently, preclinical study reported that immune checkpoint inhibition combined with radiotherapy treats CPRC with significant increases in median survival compared to drug alone.

Read the detailed description

Permanent brachytherapy is one of those standard treatments for localized prostate cancer patients.

Biopsy confirms prostate cancer. Blood and urine of localized prostate cancer patients will be collected before and at different time points after permanent brachytherapy (1, 3, 6, and 12 months)

What participants receive

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

  • permanent brachytherapyRadiation

    Briefly, the patient had a general anesthesia and PPB was performed by using the "real-time" intraoperative planning method guided by TRUS. The radioactive seeds were inserted transperineally according to a modified peripherally loaded Seattle technique 17. I-125 was used for all implants with a mean seed activity of 0.45 mCi per seed. All procedures were completed by a single surgeon.

What is being measured

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

  1. the level of PD-L1-expressing regulatory T cells in blood and urine

    the level of PD-L1-expressing regulatory T cells in blood and urine

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prostate Cancer, run by Xuanwu Hospital, Beijing.

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 3 inclusion and 14 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Apr 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Tongwen Ou, MD. (+8617801117318, outongwen1967@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the level of PD-L1-expressing regulatory T cells in blood and urine (time frame: 2 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 30 Apr 2020.
