Study Summary

This trial will test whether adding 6 months of hormone therapy to radiation treatment is more effective than radiation treatment alone for prostate cancer patients with a specific type of cancer. Patients will be monitored for up to

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men with a specific stage of prostate cancer called 'unfavorable intermediate risk.' They should be suitable for hormone therapy and radiation, have no prior treatments for prostate cancer, and be able to undergo biopsies. Specific details on inclusion or exclusion criteria are not provided.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two approaches: one group receives hormone therapy (ADT) using drugs like Leuprolide, Degarelix, or Relugolix along with targeted radiation (SBRT), while the other group gets only SBRT. Patients will be randomly assigned to these groups and monitored for up to five years.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include those from ADT such as hot flashes, fatigue, sexual dysfunction, bone thinning; and from SBRT like urinary issues or rectal discomfort. The exact side effects depend on individual patient responses.

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: ADT with SBRTExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
The ADT patients will be treated with monthly Degarelix, or Leuprolide injections or daily Relugolix pills. After three months have elapsed, these patients as per routine will undergo SBRT. SBRT comprises stereotactic, ultra-fractionated radiotherapy every other day for five total treatments.
Group II: SBRT AloneActive Control1 Intervention
Participants treated with SBRT alone (standard of care) will be administered stereotactic, ultra-fractionated radiotherapy every other day for five total treatments.
