A Study of Definitive Therapy to Treat Prostate Cancer After Prostatectomy
Prostate Cancer

About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Prostate Cancer focused on measuring prostatectomy, androgen deprivation, chemotherapy, radiation
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Willing and able to provide written informed consent.
- Age ≥ 18 years
- Eastern cooperative oncology group (ECOG) performance status ≤2
- Documented histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate
- Willing to undergo the following therapy: (1st) Systemic chemo-hormonal therapy with up to 6-months (~24 weeks) of neoadjuvant androgen deprivation and up to 6 cycles of chemotherapy, (2nd) definitive local tumor control with adjuvant radiation therapy, and (3rd) consolidative stereotactic radiation to oligometastatic lesions. Additionally, must be willing to be treated with a full two years of androgen deprivation.
- Oligometastatic prostate cancer: Stage T1-4, N0-1 and/or M1a-b (up to 5 metastatic lesions- including bone lesions and non-regional lymph nodes seen on bone scan, contrast enhanced CT scan, or PET scan)
Exclusion Criteria:
- Prior local non-surgical therapy to treat prostate cancer (e.g. radiation therapy, brachytherapy)
- Prior therapy to a metastatic site.
Prior or ongoing systemic therapy for prostate cancer including, but not limited to:
- Hormonal therapy (e.g. leuprolide, goserelin, triptorelin, degarelix)
- CYP-17 inhibitors (e.g. ketoconazole)
- Antiandrogens (e.g. bicalutamide, nilutamide)
- Second generation antiandrogens (e.g. enzalutamide, abiraterone)
- Immunotherapy (e.g. sipuleucel-T, ipilimumab)
- Chemotherapy (e.g. docetaxel, cabazitaxel) *Note: may be enrolled if hormone therapy was recently initiated (<90 days duration)). In the event that hormone therapy was initiated prior to study enrollment, the clock for 2 years of androgen deprivation would begin at the time of therapy initiation, rather than at study enrollment.
- Evidence of serious and/or unstable pre-existing medical, psychiatric or other condition (including laboratory abnormalities) that could interfere with patient safety or provision of informed consent to participate in this study.
- Any psychological, familial, sociological, or geographical condition that could potentially interfere with compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule.
- Abnormal bone marrow function [absolute neutrophil count (ANC)<1500/mm3, platelet count <100,000/mm3, hemoglobin <9 g/dL]
- Abnormal liver function (bilirubin >ULN; AST, ALT > 2.5 x upper limit of normal)
- Creatinine clearance of ≥ 30 mL/min. CrCl should be calculated suing the Cockcroft-Gault formula.
- Active cardiac disease defined as active angina, symptomatic congestive heart failure, or myocardial infarction within previous six months.
- Prior history of malignancy in the past 3 years with the exception of basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin. Other malignancies that are considered to have a low potential to progress may be enrolled at discretion of PI.

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
chemohormonal and definitive therapy after prostatectomy
(1st) Systemic chemo-hormonal therapy with up to 6-months (~24 weeks) of adjuvant androgen deprivation (Leuprolide Acetate) and up to 6 cycles of chemotherapy (Docetaxel), (2nd) definitive local tumor control with adjuvant radiation therapy, and (3rd) consolidative stereotactic radiation to oligometastatic lesions. The men will receive a total of 2 years of androgen deprivation. Androgen blockade (Bicalutamide) will be the same throughout the course of treatment.
