Short Course ADT for High Risk Low/Intermediate Risk ARTERA Prostate Cancer
Sponsor: NYU Langone Health
ClinicalTrials ID:NCT07801664
This clinical trial evaluates a 6-month ADT regimen combined with dose-escalated radiotherapy for high-risk prostate cancer patients with low/intermediate ARTERA scores. Eligible participants are males 18+, with specific prostate cancer criteria, no nodal metastases, and meet health benchmarks. Interventions include ADT via Degarelix, Leuprolide, or Relugolix, and advanced radiotherapy techniques.

Program Overview
For this study, high risk prostate cancer patients with lower risk ARTERA scores will be treated with 6 months of Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) in conjunction with dose escalated radiotherapy to the prostate and nodes. Specifically, patients enrolled in this study will undergo one of several dose-escalated forms of radiotherapy which would include SBRT with or without a brachytherapy boost.

- KPS < 80
- Pelvic or Prostate MRI or CT (MRI preferred) evidence of radiographic T4, or N1 disease or bone disease
- Prior treatment for prostate cancer, including history of chemotherapy or surgery for prostate cancer (except for prior [transurethral resection of prostate] TURP or greenlight [photo selective vaporization of prostate] PVP which would be allowed)
- History of another malignancy within the previous 2 years except for the following: adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, superficial bladder cancer, currently in complete remission, or any other cancer that has been in complete remission for at least 3 years.

- Currently on any ARPis (including but not limited to: enzalutamide, apalutamide, darolutamide, or abiraterone)
- Prior pharmacologic androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for prostate cancer is permitted under the following (2) conditions: 1) Participants meeting this criterion will be assigned to a separate stratum within each primary treatment cohort. 2) Patients remain eligible for enrollment provided they have received no more than 3 months of ADT in total, regardless of whether ADT was initiated before screening or registration.
