Engaging Newly Diagnosed Men About Cancer Treatment Options (ENACT)

October 1, 2020 updated by: Peter Gann, University of Illinois at Chicago

The Impact of a Gene Expression Profile on Treatment Choice and Outcome Among Minority Men Newly Diagnosed With Prostate Cancer: A Randomized Trial

This research is being done to better understand how a new lab test called the Oncotype DX Prostate Cancer Assay may impact what treatment men decide to get and how they feel and think about their choice of treatment. The study will compare men who receive this new lab test with men who receive the usual counseling given to men after they get a new diagnosis of prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is sometimes slow-growing and sometimes fast-growing. Healthcare providers are searching for better ways to predict how each tumor will behave so that each man can make a better decision about when to receive treatment. The Oncotype DX lab test uses leftover prostate biopsy tissue to generate a Genomic Prostate Score (GPS). The GPS is related to the risk of a fast-growing cancer being discovered if surgery is performed to remove a man's prostate. The goal of this study is to find out if this test helps men when they are deciding how their prostate cancer will be treated. Treatment options include surgery to remove the prostate, radiation therapy, or an approach called "active surveillance" in which there is no immediate therapy and the tumor is watched using prostate specific antigen (PSA) tests and repeat biopsies.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Placebo Comparator: Standard NCCN counseling
National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) counseling uses recommendations based on currently-accepted approaches to cancer treatment.
Experimental: Standard NCCN counseling and Oncotype DX results
National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) counseling uses recommendations based on currently-accepted approaches to cancer treatment. The result provided by the Oncotype DX prostate test is called a Genomic Prostate Score (GPS). The GPS provides important information about how aggressive a man's cancer is based on the biology of the man's individual tumor.
