Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy or Standard of Care for Prostate Oligoprogressive Cancer (SECURE)

July 6, 2026 updated by: University Health Network, Toronto

Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy or Standard of Care for Prostate Oligoprogressive Cancer: a Randomized Phase II Trial

This is a single centre, interventional, randomized Phase II, two-arm prospective trial investigating if Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) to all sites of Oligopressive (OP) disease while remaining on current Systemic Therapy (ST) will improve biochemical control compared to Standard of Care (SoC) (which involves a change in ST) for patients with OP Castrate Resistance Prostate Cancer (CRPC).

Study Overview

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The current standard of care for patients with metastatic Oligopressive (OP) Castrate Resistance Prostate Cancer (CRPC) is a change in Systemic Therapy (ST). We propose that Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) to Oligopressive sites, while maintaining patients on their current Systemic Therapy, may allow for biochemical control of disease while maintaining patient Quality of Life and avoiding the toxicities associated with changing Systemic Therapy. We have proposed an initial prospective feasibility study, followed by a larger phase II prospective study to investigate the efficacy of SBRT in Oligopressive Castrate Resistance Prostate Cancer.

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. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Active Comparator: Arm 1 - Standard of Care
Participants on Arm 1 - SOC will be treated as per standard of care by their treating Oncologist. In most instances, it is anticipated participants will undergo a change in Systemic Therapy (ST) (including best supportive care). The ST will be at the discretion of the Oncologist and patient, according to best practices for the patient's diagnosis and clinical scenario. Patients can receive palliative radiotherapy for standard indications at any time.
Radiation: Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT)
SBRT will be delivered as per institutional standard.
Other: Systemic therapy
Participants will receive Systemic Therapy. Participants in Arm 1 - SOC may change the Systemic Therapy throughout treatment. Participants in Arm 2 - Experimental will remain on the same Systemic Therapy throughout treatment.
Experimental: Arm 2 - Experimental
Participants on Arm 2 - Experimental will receive standard of care SBRT to oligoprogressive sites according to institutional standards while remaining on the systemic treatment prescribed by the treating oncologist.
Radiation: Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT)
SBRT will be delivered as per institutional standard.
Other: Systemic therapy
Participants will receive Systemic Therapy. Participants in Arm 1 - SOC may change the Systemic Therapy throughout treatment. Participants in Arm 2 - Experimental will remain on the same Systemic Therapy throughout treatment.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Study Feasibility
Time Frame: Within 18 months of study activation.
Determine the feasibility of enrolling 21 patients patients onto a study randomizing patients to either MDT using SBRT plus remaining on current ST versus SoC (change in Systemic Therapy) by measuring the rate accrual (number of patients per month for 18 months).
Within 18 months of study activation.
Change in Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA)
Time Frame: Enrollment to 12 months post-enrollment.
Assess by standard PSA blood testing if the proportion of patients having a >50% change in PSA compared to baseline (PSA50) is improved with MDT using SBRT plus remaining on current ST versus SoC.
Enrollment to 12 months post-enrollment.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Radiographic Local Control of Oligopressive Lesions
Time Frame: Enrollment to 12 months-post enrollment.
Radiographic local control of the index OP lesions will be assessed by treating oncologist.
Enrollment to 12 months-post enrollment.
Radiographic Distant Control of Oligopressive Lesions
Time Frame: Enrollment to 12-months post-enrollment.
Defined by growth of non-Oligoprogressive metastatic sites and/or the development of new sites of metastatic disease, as assessed by treating oncologist.
Enrollment to 12-months post-enrollment.
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Time Frame: Enrollment to 12-months post-enrollment.
Defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause, progression of disease, or date of last follow-up, whichever occurs first. PFS will be assessed by the treating oncologist.
Enrollment to 12-months post-enrollment.
Time to next Systemic Therapy
Time Frame: Enrollment to 12-months post-enrollment.
Defined as the time from when the study intervention has been commenced until commencement of any next systemic anti-cancer therapy (including a change to best supportive care) or date of last follow up, whichever occurs first, which will be assess by the treating oncologist.
Enrollment to 12-months post-enrollment.
Differences in Toxicity
Time Frame: Enrollment to 12-months post-enrollment.
Toxicity will be assessed to determine whether SBRT compared to SoC results in patient- and/or physician-reported toxicity differences. Toxicity will be collected using CTCAE v5.0
Enrollment to 12-months post-enrollment.
Differences in Quality of Life
Time Frame: Enrollment to 12-months post-enrollment.
Quality of Life (QoL) will be assessed to determine whether SBRT compared to SoC results in patient- and/or physician-reported QoL differences. QoL will be collected using the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire.
