About this study
The purpose of this study is to use androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) intermittently in hopes of reducing side effects from ADT and reducing unnecessary dosing of ADT in adult men with a prolonged response to frontline therapy for metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). The primary aim is to determine the cumulative incidence of participants who experience prostate-specific antigen (PSA) relapse, clinical relapse, or death in the 18-month trial period.
The study will investigate the effects of holding (stopping and restarting as needed) ADT in the participants to monitor time to non-castrate testosterone, quality of life, and outcomes when ADT is only restarted when testosterone is above the castration-level threshold. Androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI) will be continued for additional safety. PSA will be monitored throughout to ensure there is no rise. Additionally, quality of life will be monitored throughout to determine whether greater time between ADT doses leads to improvement in side effects.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT)Drug
At each three-month visit, when the participant's testosterone level is <50ng/dL, the participant's ADT in the form of a GnRH agonist will be held. When it is >50ng/dL, it will be given. Participants will continue to undergo routine follow-up with PSA and testosterone levels every 3 months for the duration of the trial, continuing to give GnRH agonist if testosterone >50ng/dL and holding it if testosterone is <50ng/dL.
Androgen Receptor Pathway Inhibitors (ARPIs)Drug
Continued continuously.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Continuous ARPI + Intermittent ADT based on supra-castrate testosterone | Experimental | Continuous ARPI + intermittent ADT based on supra-castrate testosterone Receives: Drug: Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT); Drug: Androgen Receptor Pathway Inhibitors (ARPIs) |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Cumulative incidence of participants who experience castration resistance, clinical relapse, or death in the 18-month trial period.
Castration resistance will be defined as the time interval from treatment initiation to the first documented evidence of castration-resistant prostate cancer according to the Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group (PCWG2) criteria defined as three consecutive rises in PSA at least 1 week apart, resulting in two 50% increases over the nadir, with a PSA >2 ng/mL. Clinical relapse will be defined by soft tissue progression according to RECIST criteria, two or more new bone lesions on bone scan, or worsening symptoms attributable to prostate cancer.
Measured: Enrollment to the end of follow up at 18 months.
Secondary outcomes (10)
Time to PSA PFS defined as castration resistance, death, or clinical/radiographic progression
Time to PSA PFS defined as castration resistance, clinical progression, or death.
Measured: Enrollment to the end of follow up at 18 months.
Number of participants transitioned to continuous ADT based on 2 consecutive rises in PSA of combined >0.2 at least 3 weeks apart
Number of participants transitioned to continuous ADT
Measured: Enrollment to the end of follow up at 18 months.
Overall survival
Overall survival: time from treatment initiation to death
Measured: Enrollment to the end of follow up at 18 months.
Quality of life based on Hot Flash-Related Daily Interference Scale (HFRDIS)
Scale from 0-10. Zero is equivalent to does not interfere and 10 is equivalent to completely interferes with specific aspects of life.
Measured: Day 1, Months 6, 12, and 18
Quality of life based on Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Prostate (FACT-P)
The scoring system uses a 5-point Likert scale (from 0 to 4). The total score is calculated by summing the scores across all domains, providing a range of 0 to 156. Zero is equal to "Not at all", 1 is equal to "A little bit", 2 is equal to "Somewhat", 3 is equal to "Quite a bit", and 4 is equal to 'Very much".
Measured: Day 1, Months 6, 12, and 18
Number of GnRH agonist doses able to be skipped in the 18-month period
Doses of GnRH skipped
Measured: Enrollment to the end of follow up at 18 months.
Number of participants able to skip >2 doses of GnRH agonist before testosterone becomes supra-castrate
Doses of GnRH skipped
Measured: Enrollment to the end of follow up at 18 months.
Tumor growth via PSA kinetics
PSA level ng/mL
Measured: Day 1, Months 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18.
Time to non-castrate testosterone according to specific ADT and ARPI regimens
Testosterone level ng/dL
Measured: Day 1, Months 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18.
Correlation of duration of ADT plus ARPI therapy with time to non-castrate testosterone
Testosterone level ng/dL
Measured: Day 1, Months 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) and Androgen Receptor Pathway Inhibitors (ARPIs) in people with Metastatic Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer (mHSPC), run by University of Nebraska at 1 site in United States.
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 4 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 3 Nov 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 United States. 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 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.
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 IIT Office (402-559-4596, iitoffice@unmc.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Cumulative incidence of participants who experience castration resistance, clinical relapse, or death in the 18-month trial period. (time frame: Enrollment to the end of follow up at 18 months.). 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 3 Nov 2026.
