Immediate Versus Deferred Androgen Deprivation Therapy,Goserelin for Recurrent Prostate Cancer After Radical Radiotherapy (ELAAT)

July 8, 2016 updated by: Ontario Clinical Oncology Group (OCOG)

A Randomized Comparison of Immediate Versus Deferred Androgen Deprivation Therapy Using Goserelin for Recurrent Prostate Cancer After Radical Radiotherapy.

This is a prospective, multicentre, open-labelled, randomized controlled trial comparing the efficacy of immediate versus deferred androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) using goserelin (Zoladex®) in men with recurrent prostate cancer after radical radiotherapy.

1100 patients will be accrued from participating Canadian Urological Oncology Group sites in an estimated time of 3 years. First analysis is planned for 7 years after study recruitment is completed.

Detailed Description

Recurrent prostate cancer after radical radiation therapy is a common problem with often a long interval from biochemical failure to the time of symptomatic relapse. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is the most commonly used intervention following radiation failure and currently is often started immediately after the recognition of biochemical failure in the absence of symptoms. ADT is associated with side effects that can impact on quality of life. It is unclear whether ADT reduces prostate-specific mortality. There is currently insufficient evidence on the timing of ADT with respect to prevention of prostate cancer death and quality of life and cost particularly for men with fast and slow prostate specific antigen (PSA) doubling times.

The general objective of the ELAAT trial is to determine the optimal timing of ADT in men with recurrent prostate cancer after radical radiotherapy.

Consenting patients who have undergone prior radical radiotherapy for prostate cancer and are now experiencing a recurrence will be screened for eligibility. If they are determined to be eligible, patients will be stratified according to PSA doubling time, pre-radiation Gleason Score, previous radical prostatectomy and clinical centre. After stratification, patients will be randomized to immediate versus deferred ADT based on the 1:1 ratio between the two arms.

Patients will be followed indefinitely and assessed formally at 6 month intervals after the date or randomization. Patients will be assessed for recurrent disease (biochemical failure), new primary cancer, complications of advanced malignancy, quality of life and overall survival.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Male

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Males over 18 years of age with histological confirmation of adenocarcinoma of the prostate.

  2. Biochemical progression after radical radiotherapy with a total prostate dose > 52 Gy.

    • In patients without previous radical prostatectomy, biochemical progression is defined as PSA in the range of nadir + 2 ng/mL (Phoenix definition) to ≤ 6 ng/mL (this PSA must be within 30 days of randomization).
    • In patients with previous radical prostatectomy, biochemical progression is defined as a rising PSA (at least 2 values) in the range of 0.4 ng/mL to ≤ 3 ng/mL (most recent PSA must be within 30 days of randomization).

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients who are within 4 years of their brachytherapy implantation date.
  2. Patients with medical conditions in which goserelin or bicalutamide is contraindicated in the opinion of the supervising oncologist or urologist.
  3. Patients with another active malignancy or malignancy treatment within 5 years (basal or squamous cell skin cancers are not excluded from this trial).
  4. Patients with geographic inaccessibility precluding them from necessary follow-up.
  5. Failure to provide written informed consent.
