Study Summary

This trial is testing a new treatment for prostate cancer that has spread. The new treatment is a combination of drugs and radiation, and researchers want to see if it is safe and effective.

Who is the study for?
Men over 18 with untreated metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, who can consent to treatment and have normal organ function. They must be eligible for SBRT, have an ECOG status of 0 or 1, and agree to use birth control during the study. Exclusions include HIV/HBV/HCV infection, large prostate volume (>80cc), certain allergies, other recent cancers or treatments, uncontrolled conditions like hypertension or infections.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing if adding atezolizumab (an immunotherapy drug) and SBRT to standard treatment with abiraterone acetate (a hormonal therapy), prednisone (a steroid), and Lupron® improves outcomes in men with newly diagnosed metastatic prostate cancer compared to standard treatment alone.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include immune-related reactions affecting organs, fatigue, digestive issues like nausea or diarrhea from prednisone; high blood pressure from abiraterone; infusion reactions from atezolizumab; skin irritation from radiation therapy.

Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Metastatic Prostate CancerExperimental Treatment7 Interventions
Participants will have untreated metastatic (M1a/b/c) hormone-sensitive prostate cancer documented by positive bone scan or metastatic lesion on CT or MRI; untreated is defined as having never received surgical, radiotherapeutic, or systemic therapy for their prostate cancer.Group 1 and 2. The first 20 patients enrolled will be in Group 1 and the remaining patients (and those who are already on a GnRH analog) will be assigned to Group 2. All study participants will receive treatment with atezolizumab, abiraterone acetate, prednisone, GnRH analog, and SBRT, at the same doses.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Are there any opportunities to become involved in this research endeavor?

"Clinicaltrials.gov shows that this medical experiment has been actively seeking out volunteers since its inception on March 3rd 2020 and the most recent edit was made November 18th 2022."

Answered by AI

To what extent does Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) threaten the safety of patients?

"Through our internal assessment, we gave Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) a safety rating of 2. This is based on the fact that this Phase 2 trial has generated some data related to security but no information yet confirming its efficacy."

Answered by AI

To what medical issues is Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) predominantly applied?

"Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) is an effective treatment for thyroiditis, ulcerative colitis, as well as varicella-zoster virus acute retinal necrosis."

Answered by AI

Are there any secondary investigations into the efficacy of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT)?

"At present, SBRT is being studied in 762 trials globally. Of these trials, 189 are currently in the third phase of their clinical experiments. The main hub for such research is Duarte, California; however, there exist 40098 different sites where patients can receive this form of radiation therapy."

Answered by AI

What is the proposed size of this clinical trial's population?

"Affirmative. According to the information posted on clinicaltrials.gov, this research project is currently seeking volunteers. The trial was initially announced on March 3rd 2020 and has been modified as recently as November 18th 2022. 44 patients are needed across 10 sites in order to progress with the study."

Answered by AI

How many settings are the research trials being conducted in?

"Ten clinical trial sites are available for this medical study. Several of them belong to the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, such as Basking Ridge and Montvale in New jersey, while other locations exist across North America."
