SIMCAP (Surgery in Metastatic Carcinoma of Prostate): Phase 2.5 Multi-Institution Randomized Prospective Clinical Trial Evaluating the Impact of Cytoreductive Radical Prostatectomy Combined With Best Systemic Therapy on Oncologic and Quality of Life Outcomes in Men With Newly Diagnosed Metastatic Prostate Cancer
Description
Brief Summary
This randomized phase II trial studies how well surgical removal of the prostate and
antiandrogen therapy with or without docetaxel work in treating men with newly diagnosed
prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Androgens can cause the growth
of prostate cancer cells. Antiandrogen therapy may lessen the amount of androgens made by the
body. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel work in different ways to stop the growth
of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping
them from spreading. Surgery, antiandrogen therapy and docetaxel may work better in treating
participants with prostate cancer.
Detailed Description
I. To assess the clinical benefit of combining radical surgery cytoreductive radical
prostatectomy (CRP) - with the best systemic therapy (BST) in men with newly diagnosed
clinical metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the impact of CRP+BST on time to biochemical progression, cancer-specific
survival, complication rates, and quality of life (QOL) in patients with mPCa.
II. To determine the transcription levels of bone morphogenetic protein -6 (BMP-6) and
transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-?).
OUTLINE: Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.
ARM I: Participants receive antiandrogen therapy with or without docetaxel at the discretion
of the treating physician.
ARM II: Participants receive antiandrogen therapy for at least 1 month, then undergo
cytoreductive radical prostatectomy. Participants continue antiandrogen therapy and may
receive docetaxel prior to surgery at the discretion of the treating physician.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months from time of
progression.
