Study Summary

This trial is testing whether a new drug can help prostate cancer patients who have failed other treatments and have 3 or fewer bone or soft tissue metastases.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for prostate cancer patients who've had surgery or local radiation but now have up to three new bone or soft tissue metastases, with at least one in the bone. They should understand and consent to the study, have a life expectancy of over a year, be able to lie flat for scans and treatment, not be on other investigational drugs, and not have castration-resistant cancer.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The TERPS Trial is testing if adding stereotactic ablative radiation therapy (SABR) to systemic therapy improves outcomes in prostate cancer patients with limited metastatic spread after primary treatment failure. It targets those with three or fewer recent metastases.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include typical reactions from radiation like skin irritation, fatigue, digestive issues; systemic therapy may cause immune-related effects, changes in blood counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
To determine the 2-year failure-free survival (FFS) of men who have oligometastatic prostate cancer with BST+XRT versus BST+XRT+SABR MDT.
Secondary outcome measures
Quality of life assessed through EPIC tool utilizing patient scores in each function group following completion of SABR MDT.
To assess time to progression
To determine local control at 12-months after SABR MDT in patients with de novo oligometastatic disease.
