About this study

Official title: Apatamide Combined With Maximal Tumor Eradication for Oligometastatic Prostate Cancer, A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial

In China, the incidence of prostate cancer is increasing in recent years, and it has ranked 5th among common male tumors and 1st in urinary tumors. Unlike developed countries in Europe and the United States, in China, because prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening has not been widely popularized, and early prostate cancer is mostly asymptomatic, about 13%-26% of prostate cancer patients have progressed to metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) at the time of initial diagnosis. Compared with localized prostate cancer, the 5-year survival rate of mHSPC is only 29.3%, which is prone to symptoms such as bone pain, pathological fracture, hematuria, and dysuria and seriously decrease the survival and quality of life. As a result, it is of great significance to carry out more refined management of mHSPC, explore more scientific treatment options, and delay the time to CRPC, which is of great significance for improving the prognosis and quality of life of patients and reducing medical burden. However, there is still no standard treatment strategy for OMPC patients which need more clinical exploration.

Treatment of prostate primary in oligometastatic prostate cancer (OMPC) may improve survival and do not significantly increase complications. Radiotherapy showed excellent therapeutic effects on metastatic lesions, prolonged survival and without increasing significant adverse effects. In 2019, The New England Journal of Medicine reported a TITAN study that combining apatamide with ADT for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, which significantly reduced the risk of death (82.4% VS 72.5%, P=0.005), and improved progression-free survival (68.2% VS 47.5, P <0.001) without increasing adverse effects of treatment. In 2020, Johns Hopkins University published a phase I clinical study of radical treatment of 12 cases of OMPC. Patients were treated with neoadjuvant docetaxel chemotherapy or abiraterone, combined with radical prostatectomy for primary lesions, and stereotactic radiation for bone metastases to achieve the purpose of complete tumor eradication. Preliminary results showed that no additional complications were found except neutropenic fever in two cases. At the same time, the proportion of PSA maintained undetectable in 1,2,3 years was 12 / 12 (100%), 10 / 12 (83%) and 8 / 12 (67%), respectively, showing good treatment results.

Since 2014, the applicant has rich research experience in the treatment of oligometastatic prostate cancer and our results showed that systemic therapy combined with local tumor reduction therapy can confer a survival benefit for OMPC patients without a significant increase in complications. This clinical trial aimed to analyze the clinical efficacy and safety of maximal tumor eradication strategy for oligometastatic prostate cancer.

neoadjuvant apatamide plus ADT + radical resection of prostate cancer + extended lymph node dissection + radiotherapy of metastases, Standard ADT treatment

What participants receive

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

  • neoadjuvant apatamide plus ADT + radical resection of prostate cancer + extended lymph node dissection + radiotherapy of metastasesCombination product

    neoadjuvant apadamide plus ADT: apadamide 240 mg qd po + leuproprolirelin 3.75mg subcutaneous injection once every month. After 4 months of neoadjuvant therapy, radical prostate cancer + extended lymph node dissection, lymph node dissection to the level of bilateral common iliac arteries, and radiotherapy for metastases was completed within 3 months after surgery.Postoperative adjuvant ADT therapy, regular follow-up until progress to hormone-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and then change treatment regimen.

  • Standard ADT treatmentDrug

    leuproprolirelin 3.75mg subcutaneous injection once every month, regular follow-up until progress to hormone-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and then change treatment regimen.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing neoadjuvant apatamide plus ADT + radical resection of prostate cancer + extended lymph node dissection + radiotherapy of metastases and Standard ADT treatment in people with Oligometastatic Prostate Cancer, run by RenJi Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 6 inclusion and 6 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 May 2025. 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 China. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact JiaHua Pan, Doctor (+8613916989510, jiahua.pan@outlook.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Time to hormone-resistant prostate cancer (TTCRPC) (time frame: 5 years). 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 15 May 2025.
