Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
M0CRPC at study entry defined as follows: Ongoing androgen deprivation therapy with a LHRH agonist or bilateral orchiectomy (i.e., surgical or medical castration); Serum testosterone level ≤ 1.7 nmol/L (50 ng/dL) at the Screening visit; PSA progression defined by a minimum of two subsequent rising PSA levels with an interval of ≥ 1 week between each determination. Patients who received an anti-androgen must have progression after withdrawal (≥ 4 weeks since last flutamide or ≥ 6 weeks since last bicalutamide or nilutamide). The PSA value at the Screening visit should be ≥ 2 μg/L (2 ng/mL) PSA doubling time of 10 months or less, M0 assessed by conventional imaging (CT/MRI + bone scan). Prior cytotoxic chemotherapy for prostate cancer in adjuvant setting post radical therapy is allowed; Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-1 or Karnofsky performance status of > 80% or higher; Estimated life expectancy of ≥ 6 months; Ability to swallow the study drug whole and comply with study. Patients should not have been previously exposed to other ARATs (Abiraterone, Enzalutamide, Apalutamide)
Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate without neuroendocrine differentiation or small cell features
Must not have
Known or suspected brain metastasis or active leptomeningeal disease; > 5 metastasis; More than 4 metastasis in the same organ; Patients considered for SBRT in previous history of radiation therapy to the same area.

Summary

This trial tests a combination of precise radiation therapy and a hormone-blocking drug in prostate cancer patients with limited spread. It aims to control the disease and delay more toxic treatments. The approach targets small areas of cancer spread and blocks the cancer's growth signals. The hormone-blocking drug is a novel treatment approved for specific prostate cancer cases.

Who is the study for?
Men with advanced prostate cancer that hasn't spread widely (≤5 sites, ≤4 in one organ excluding the brain) and is resistant to hormone therapy but has not metastasized according to standard scans. Participants must have a good performance status, be able to take oral medication, and have no recent other cancers or severe diseases. They should not have had certain previous treatments for prostate cancer.
What is being tested?
The trial tests if adding SBRT (a type of precise radiation therapy) to Darolutamide (a drug blocking male hormones that can fuel prostate cancer growth) can delay the need for more aggressive therapies in men whose prostate cancer is progressing despite treatment but hasn't spread extensively.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include fatigue, skin reactions from radiation, gastrointestinal issues like nausea or diarrhea from Darolutamide, as well as potential liver function changes and blood count alterations due to the medications used.

Mechanism Of Action
Side Effect Profile
Prior Approvals
Other Research
Prostate cancer treatments often target the androgen receptor pathway, crucial for cancer cell growth. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) reduces androgen levels, slowing cancer progression. Androgen receptor inhibitors like darolutamide block androgen receptors, preventing cancer cells from using androgens. Precise high-dose radiation therapy (SBRT) targets and destroys cancer cells with minimal damage to surrounding tissues. These mechanisms are vital as they offer targeted approaches to control and potentially eradicate prostate cancer, improving patient outcomes.
