About this study
Official title: Study on Spatial Multi-Omics Deciphering of the Perineural Invasion Microenvironment and Its Prognostic Value in Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is a common malignancy in men, with substantial prognostic heterogeneity that calls for improved risk stratification at the tissue microenvironment level. Perineural invasion (PNI) is a frequent pathological feature in prostate cancer, associated with local aggressiveness and postoperative recurrence; however, its microenvironmental characteristics and prognostic value remain incompletely characterized. This study plans to enroll approximately 120 prostate cancer patients, collecting tissue specimens and clinicopathological data. We will integrate HE/WSI pathological images, Xenium spatial transcriptomics, PhenoCycler-Fusion spatial proteomics, whole-exome sequencing, and single-cell transcriptomics to systematically compare PNI-positive regions, PNI-negative tumor regions, and adjacent-normal regions in terms of cellular composition, spatial proximity relationships, molecular pathway activities, and genomic alterations. The objectives are to screen candidate molecular markers associated with PNI burden, local invasion, and poor postoperative outcomes, and to explore the establishment of a PNI classification and prognostic risk assessment model based on spatial multi-omics features, thereby providing a foundation for individualized risk stratification and further mechanistic studies in prostate cancer.
Read the detailed description
This study will utilize tissue specimens and clinical follow-up data from prostate cancer patients, integrating HE/WSI pathological images, spatial transcriptomics, spatial proteomics, whole-exome sequencing (WES), and single-cell transcriptomics to systematically characterize the cellular composition, spatial proximity relationships, molecular expression profiles, and genomic alterations within the perineural invasion (PNI) microenvironment of prostate cancer.
Specifically, this study aims to delineate the spatial multi-omics differences among PNI-positive regions, PNI-negative tumor regions, and adjacent-normal regions; to screen for candidate molecular markers associated with PNI burden, local tumor aggressiveness, and poor postoperative outcomes; and to explore the establishment of a PNI classification and prognostic risk assessment model based on spatial multi-omics features, thereby providing a foundation for individualized risk stratification and future mechanistic investigations in prostate cancer.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Persistent PSA elevation
Record PSA levels at 6-8 weeks and 3 months post-surgery; predefined thresholds in the study protocol may be used for exploratory analyses.
Measured: post-operative PSA levels at 6-8 weeks and 3 months
Secondary outcomes (1)
Biochemical Progression-Free Survival (bPFS)
Time from initiation of ADT plus ARPl therapy to biochemical progression or deathfrom any cause, whichever occurs first. Biochemical progression is defined as a PSA rise to a0.2ng/mL after having reached an undetectable level, confirmed by a second measurement at least 2weeks apart. Participants without an event will be censored at the date of last follow-up.
Measured: From treatment initiation until biochemical progression or last follow-up, assessed every 3 months (+1 month) for up to 24 months.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Prostate cancer is a common malignancy in men, with substantial prognostic heterogeneity that calls for improved risk stratification at the tissue microenvironment level. Perineural invasion (PNI) is a frequent pathological feature in prostate cancer, associated with local aggressiveness and postoperative recurrence; however, its microenvironmental characteristics and prognostic value remain incompletely characterized. This study plans to enroll approximately 120 prostate cancer patients, collecting tissue specimens and clinicopathological data. We will integrate HE/WSI pathological images, Xenium spatial transcriptomics, PhenoCycler-Fusion spatial proteomics, whole-exome sequencing, and single-cell transcriptomics to systematically compare PNI-positive regions, PNI-negative tumor regions, and adjacent-normal regions in terms of cellular composition, spatial proximity relationships, molecular pathway activities, and genomic alterations. The objectives are to screen candidate molecular markers associated with PNI burden, local invasion, and poor postoperative outcomes, and to explore the establishment of a PNI classification and prognostic risk assessment model based on spatial multi-omics features, thereby providing a foundation for individualized risk stratification and further mechanistic studies in prostate cancer.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Prostate Cancer Adenocarcinoma, run by Anhui Medical University 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 5 inclusion and 5 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 14 Sep 2026. 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.
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 Sheng Tai, M.D. (86-18355159268 ext. 0551-62922234, Taishengwk@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Persistent PSA elevation (time frame: post-operative PSA levels at 6-8 weeks and 3 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07818395, which also lists 17 linked publications.
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 14 Sep 2026.
