About this study

MAZINGA is a prospective, single-group pilot study evaluating disease control after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy with extended pelvic lymph-node dissection in men with oligometastatic hormone-sensitive prostate adenocarcinoma who have received androgen-deprivation therapy for at least 6 months and achieved a serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level below 4 ng/mL. Eligible participants have no more than five bone metastases confined to the spine and/or pelvis, no visceral or retroperitoneal lymph-node metastases, and no bulky pelvic lymph nodes.

All participants undergo surgery and continue androgen-deprivation therapy as prescribed by their treating oncologist. PSA and serum testosterone are assessed for 24 months. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography plus whole-body bone scintigraphy, or prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography according to the imaging approach used at staging and clinical judgment, is performed every 6 months. The study evaluates overall survival, progression-free survival, pathological and PSA responses, quality of life, serum biomarkers, urinary complications, and conversion to open surgery.

Read the detailed description

Radical prostatectomy is being investigated as a cytoreductive treatment in selected men with oligometastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer who respond to androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT). MAZINGA is a prospective, single-centre, single-group pilot study designed to obtain preliminary estimates of survival and treatment response after the addition of radical prostatectomy to ongoing ADT.

Eligible participants have acinar prostate adenocarcinoma, no more than five bone metastases confined to the spine and/or pelvis, no visceral or retroperitoneal nodal metastases, no bulky pelvic nodes greater than 3 cm, an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1, and a PSA level below 4 ng/mL after at least 6 months of ADT. Participants undergo robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy with modified extended bilateral pelvic lymph-node dissection. ADT is continued according to the treating oncologist.

PSA and serum testosterone are measured at months 1 and 3 and every 3 months thereafter through month 24. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the chest and abdomen plus whole-body bone scintigraphy are performed every 6 months through month 24; PSMA PET may be used instead according to the imaging modality used at staging and clinical judgment. EPIC-CP and IPSS questionnaires are administered at months 3 and 12. After month 24, survival status is assessed every 6 months.

The planned convenience sample is 30 participants. Baseline characteristics and biomarker data are summarised descriptively, and survival outcomes are estimated using Kaplan-Meier methods. Radiological response is planned to be assessed according to RECIST version 1.1; the operational definition across the permitted imaging modalities must be confirmed before release.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Survival

    Overall survival is defined as the time from the date of radical prostatectomy to death from any cause. Participants who are alive at the time of analysis will be censored at the last date on which they were known to be alive

    Measured: From the date of radical prostatectomy until death from any cause, assessed up to 5 years after radical prostatectomy.

  2. Progression-Free Survival

    Time from radical prostatectomy to radiological disease progression or death in the absence of documented progression. Radiological progression will be assessed according to the protocol-defined imaging criteria.

    Measured: From the date of radical prostatectomy until the first documented radiological disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 24 months after radical prostatectomy.

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite for Clinical Practice Total and Domain Scores

    The Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite for Clinical Practice (EPIC-CP) assesses prostate cancer-related health-related quality of life across five domains: urinary incontinence, urinary irritation/obstruction, bowel symptoms, sexual symptoms, and vitality/hormonal symptoms. Each domain score ranges from 0 to 12, and the overall score ranges from 0 to 60. Higher scores indicate greater symptom burden and worse health-related quality of life. The five domain scores and the overall score will be summarised descriptively at each assessment time point.

    Measured: At 3 months and 12 months after radical prostatectomy.

  2. International Prostate Symptom Score Total Score

    The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) is a seven-item patient-reported questionnaire assessing lower urinary tract symptoms. Each item is scored from 0 to 5, resulting in a total score ranging from 0 to 35. Higher scores indicate more severe urinary symptoms. Total scores are classified as mild symptoms (0-7), moderate symptoms (8-19), or severe symptoms (20-35). The total score will be summarised descriptively at each assessment time point.

    Measured: At 3 months and 12 months after radical prostatectomy.

  3. Pathological Complete Response Rate

    Percentage of participants with no residual prostate carcinoma identified on histopathological examination of the radical prostatectomy specimen following androgen-deprivation therapy

    Measured: At radical prostatectomy (Day 0)

  4. PSA Response Rate

    Percentage of participants with a decrease in serum PSA of at least 50% from the protocol-defined baseline sample

    Measured: From the baseline sample to From the baseline sample to 5 years from last prostatectomy

  5. Serum Testosterone Concentration

    Serum testosterone concentration summarised at each scheduled assessment.

    Measured: Screening and 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 and 24 months after radical prostatectomy

  6. Serum Alkaline Phosphatase Concentration

    Serum alkaline phosphatase concentration summarised at each scheduled assessment

    Measured: Screening and 1, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after radical prostatectomy

  7. Serum C-Terminal Telopeptide Concentration

    Serum C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen concentration, if collected, summarised at each scheduled assessment

    Measured: assessment schedule through 24 months from prostatectomy

  8. Incidence of Postoperative Upper and Lower Urinary Tract Complications

    Percentage of participants experiencing one or more postoperative complications involving the upper or lower urinary tract after radical prostatectomy

    Measured: From surgery through 24 months after radical prostatectomy

  9. Conversion to Open Surgery

    Percentage of attempted laparoscopic robot-assisted radical prostatectomy procedures converted to an open surgical approach

    Measured: During surgery (Day 0)

  10. Radiological Response to Androgen-Deprivation Therapy

    Percentage of participants with a radiological response according to the protocol-defined criteria when pre-treatment imaging is compared with the preoperative assessment after androgen-deprivation therapy

    Measured: From pre-ADT baseline imaging to preoperative screening after at least 6 months of androgen-deprivation therapy
