Abstract:
Background: Salvage radiotherapy (SRT) and androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) are widely used in routine clinical practice to treat patients with prostate cancer who develop biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical prostatectomy (RP). However, there is no standard-of-care consensus on optimal duration ADT. Investigators propose three distinct risk groups in patients with prostate cancer treated with SRT in order to better define the indications and duration of ADT combined with SRT.
Study design: The URONCOR 06-24 trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT05781217) is a prospective, multicentre, randomised, open-label, phase III, clinical trial. The aim of the trial is to determine the impact of short-term (6 months) vs long-term (24 months) ADT in combination with SRT on distant metastasis-free survival (MFS) in patients with prostate cancer with BCR after RP (intermediate and high risk).
Endpoints: The primary endpoint is 5-year MFS rates in patients with prostate cancer treated with long- vs short-term ADT in combination with SRT. Secondary objectives are biochemical-relapse free interval, pelvic progression-free survival, time to start of systemic treatment, time to castration resistanc...
