About this study

Official title: Application of Personalized Minimal Residual Disease in Predicting Therapeutic Efficacy in Metastatic Hormone-sensitive Prostate Cancer

This study is a prospective, single-center, observational study of patients with newly diagnosed metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). Minimal residual disease (MRD) detection is used to investigate the actual efficacy responses of mHSPC patients with different gene mutation characteristics to treatment regimens. Factors influencing efficacy are further analyzed to provide a basis for the precise clinical diagnosis and treatment of mHSPC patients.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, single-center, observational study designed to observe the therapeutic response of metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer(mHSPC) patients with different gene mutation characteristics to treatment regimens. The study will recruit 50 mHSPC patients from the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University and design a personalized minimal residual disease (MRD) kit based on the data of the biopsy before treatment. The blood routine, biochemical indicators, sex hormone levels, prostate multi-parameter magnetic resonance imaging (Mp-MRI), quantitative whole-body bone examination, and PSMA-PET-CT examination of the study cohort patients will be recorded. During the treatment, MRD will be tested every three months, and the MRD level, blood routine, biochemical markers, sex hormone levels, and PSA levels; patients in the study cohort will undergo prostate multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (Mp-MRI) and quantitative whole-body skeletal examination every three months. If PSA progression occurs during follow-up, the PSA recheck frequency will be customized. This prospective, observational study will explore the response efficiency of mHSPC patients with different gene mutation types to treatment regimens through MRD detection, analyze the relevant factors affecting the efficacy, and provide a basis for the precise clinical diagnosis and treatment of mHSPC patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of MRD and Prostate Cancer, run by Anhui Medical University.

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 13 inclusion and 2 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jan 2026. 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?

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?

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?

minimal residual disease(MRD) positive rate (time frame: baseline). 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 12 Jan 2026.
