Phase II Randomised Controlled Trial of Patient-specific Adaptive vs. Continuous Abiraterone or eNZalutamide in mCRPC
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Patient-specific adaptive therapy: Patients will start taking abiraterone or enzalutamide (AA/ENZ) daily. PSA will be measured every month as well as radiological evaluation by CT-scan and bone scan. Treatment will be continued until PSA has dropped \>50%. The treatment will then be paused. Once the PSA has risen again above the pretreatment baseline, treatment will be re-initiated. AA/ENZ will be stopped again after the PSA declines \>50% from the baseline. This will be continued until criteria for treatment failure are met (death by any cause or at least 2 out of 3 of the following events while on treatment: radiographic progression on CT-scan and/or bone scan, PSA progression or clinical progression).
Abiraterone acetate: Use of abiraterone or enzalutamide
Enzalutamide: Use of abiraterone or enzalutamide
Study summary
Hormone tablets, abiraterone (Zytiga®) and enzalutamide (Xtandi®) are approved to treat advanced prostate cancer. However, even if these drugs are helpful, their effectiveness usually diminishes over time. Small pilot studies have indicated that using hormone tablets sparingly, for just long enough to control the cancer, followed by a break in treatment and restarting them later, seems to improve how long hormone tablets can control the cancer. This study aims to find out if this pause/restart strategy is better than taking hormone tablets every day continuously. The study will include 168 people with metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer in the Netherlands and Australia. Patients will be randomly 1:1 assigned between the control group and the experimental group. In the control group, patients will take the treatment with AA/ENZ every day until the prostate cancer doesn't respond anymore to the treatment. In the experimental group, patients will start with daily AA/ENZ until the PSA has declined for \>50%. The treatment will then be paused and monthly PSA measurements will be performed. The treatment will be re-initiated when the PSA has increased to the level of before starting treatment. The treatment will be continued daily until the PSA has again dropped for \>50%. This pause/restart cycle will be repeated until the prostate cancer doesn't respond anymore to the treatment.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Time to treatment failure — Time from randomization until death by any cause, or until criteria for treatment failure are met. PSA progression and clinical progression will be measured every 4 weeks, radiographic progression every 12 weeks, both up to 3 years after randomization.
Defined as the time from randomization until death by any cause, or the occurrence of ≥2 of the following events: * Radiographic progression according to RECIST 1.1 and/or PWCG3 criteria on the CT-scan and/or WBBS while a subject received treatment with AA/ENZ during the whole period between the imaging tests. NB: Radiologic progression while a subject is off treatment in the experimental arm will trigger the endpoint, but may be an indication to restart treatment and continue with the adaptive dosing strategy * PSA progression, defined as an increase of PSA of \>25% and \>2 ng/mL occurring while a patient is on consecutive treatment with AA/ENZ for at least 8 weeks. * Clinical progression in the judgment of the treating clinician occurring while a patient is on consecutive treatment with AA/ENZ for at least 8 weeks.
