About this trial

This is a prospective, randomized, open-label, phase II multicenter clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of radical prostatectomy in patients with high-volume metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) who achieve good response after systemic therapy with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) plus second-generation antiandrogens such as rezvilutamide. All eligible patients will receive 6 months of induction systemic therapy (ADT plus second-generation androgen receptor signaling inhibitors, with or without docetaxel or other systemic agents). Patients who achieve PSMA PET/CT "conversion success" (no metabolically active lesions; all metastases with SUVmax below liver background or blood pool) will be randomized 1:1 to continue systemic therapy alone (control arm) or receive local prostate treatment (radical prostatectomy or radiotherapy) plus systemic therapy (experimental arm). The primary endpoint is radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS). Key secondary endpoints include overall survival (OS), biochemical progression-free survival (bPFS), PSA response rate, quality of life, conversion success rate, and safety.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Male patients aged >18 and ≤70 years, or with an estimated life expectancy >10 years.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed prostate adenocarcinoma with neuroendocrine differentiation ≤10%, and no small cell or signet-ring cell carcinoma component.

High-volume metastatic disease according to CHAARTED definition: presence of visceral metastasis and/or ≥4 bone lesions with at least one lesion outside the axial skeleton (vertebral bodies and pelvis).

Newly diagnosed metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) who started intensified endocrine therapy within 3 months.

Disqualifiers

History of hypersensitivity or intolerance to any study drugs.

mCRPC (metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer).

Oligometastatic mHSPC intended for upfront radical prostatectomy.

History of seizure, medications that may lower seizure threshold, or conditions predisposing to seizures (e.g., TIA, stroke, significant head trauma with loss of consciousness requiring hospitalization) within 12 months before starting study treatment.
