PEACE 7 is an international, multicenter, randomized, open-label phase III study that aims at evaluating the efficacy and safety of darolutamide and of stereotactic dose escalated prostate radiotherapy in patients with localised prostate cancer and high-risk features of relapse (defined as patients with at least 2 high-risk criteria from National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) classification) using a factorial (2x2) design.
The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of darolutamide and of a stereotactic dose escalated radiotherapy targeting prostate in combination with ADT and pelvic nodal radiotherapy in terms of metastasis-free survival (MSF).
Patients will be randomized (1:1:1:1) to receive either:
* Arm A (Standard arm): ADT + conventional fractionated or moderately hypo-fractionated prostate radiotherapy including pelvic nodal radiotherapy * Arm B (Experimental arm): ADT + conventional fractionated or moderately hypo-fractionated prostate radiotherapy including pelvic nodal radiotherapy + darolutamide * Arm C (Experimental arm): ADT + conventional fractionated or moderately hypo-fractionated pelvic nodal radiotherapy + Prostate SBRT * Arm D (Experimental arm): ADT + conventional fractionated or moderately hypo-fractionated pelvic nodal radiotherapy + Prostate SBRT + darolutamide
Patient will receive systemic treatments (ADT and/or darolutamide) during 2 years where visits on site are planned at D45, D90, D180 and then every 3 months for checkups and follow prostate specific antigen (PSA) level.
Metastasis-free survival (MFS) is defined as the time interval from randomization to the date of the appearance of metastasis (on next generation imaging) or death (from any cause), whichever occurs first. Radiographic evaluation will be carried out at the time of biochemical failure (Phoenix criteria) or in case of clinical suspicion. After biochemical failure (Phoenix criteria) radiographic evaluation on next generation imaging (prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET) scan (any European Medicines Agency (EMA) approved PSMA tracer)) will be performed every 6 months until a metastatic site of relapse is identified and will be repeated at each subsequent PSA progression.
Signed a written informed consent form prior to any trial specific procedures
Men, 18 years ≤ Age ≤ 80 years
ECOG performance status of 0 or 1
No significant co-morbidities that might prevent long-term follow-up
Clinically or radiologically detectable metastasis, including no evidence of pelvic lymph node metastasis on next generation imaging (PSMA PET/CT), nor enlarged pelvic lymph nodes (≥1 cm in small diameter) on MRI Note: Patients with infra-centimetric nodal disease (<1 cm in small diameter) on conventional imaging and equivocal hyperfixation on next generation imaging may be included
Recent history of TURP or prostate enucleation (less than 6 months) Note: patients with severe obstructive symptoms (defined as International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) ≥20) should be carefully evaluated to rule out the need for TURP/Prostate enucleation
Prior treatment for prostate cancer, including prostatectomy, except lymph node dissection (patients with PN- disease only can be accrued) or ADT (started more than 6 weeks before randomization)
Patient with other known concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled concurrent medical disease or infection (such as active viral hepatitis, active human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or chronic liver disease) or co-morbidity, which could compromise participation in the study
