Docetaxel Addition in Metastatic Castrate-Sensitive Prostate Cancer (ASPIRE)

NCT No.: NCT06931340

Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Phase: Phase III

Region: Colorado

Acronym: A032302

Official Title

Docetaxel Addition in Metastatic Castrate-Sensitive Prostate Cancer (ASPIRE)

Purpose

This phase III trial compares the effect of adding docetaxel to hormonal therapy and apalutamide versus hormonal therapy and apalutamide alone in treating patients with prostate cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Docetaxel is in a class of medications called taxanes. It stops tumor cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Hormone therapy for prostate cancer, also called androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), uses surgery or drugs to lower the levels of male sex hormones in a man's body. This helps slow the growth of prostate cancer. Apalutamide is in a class of medications called androgen receptor inhibitors. It works by blocking the effects of androgen (a male reproductive hormone) to stop the growth and spread of tumor cells. Giving docetaxel in addition to the usual treatment of hormonal therapy and apalutamide may work better in treating patients with metastatic prostate cancer than the usual treatment alone.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: Determine whether adding docetaxel to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) plus apalutamide improves overall survival (OS) in men with metastatic castrate-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: Evaluate OS benefit in patients with TP53, PTEN, or RB1 loss/inactivating mutations. Compare time to radiographic progression by PCWG3. Compare time to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Compare symptomatic skeletal event-free survival (SSE-FS). Assess safety and tolerability of triplet vs doublet therapy using CTCAE v5.0. Evaluate radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) and OS by: a) disease volume/timing (metachronous high volume, synchronous high volume, synchronous low volume on conventional imaging) and b) tumor suppressor gene alteration status (0 vs 1 vs 2+). Compare PSA90 response rates at 6 weeks and 6 months. Compare time to PSA progression by PCWG3. Compare objective response rate (ORR) in patients with measurable disease. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: Time to worsening physical symptoms using NCCN-FACT FPSI-17. Quality of life at 24 months using FACT-P trial outcome index. Quality of life using other FACT-P scales. FACT-P total outcome index at other timepoints. Pain severity/interference using BPI-SF. Quality-adjusted life years using EQ-5D-5L. Correlate baseline disease volume on PSMA-PET/CT with conventional imaging. Assess whether baseline PSMA-PET/CT and conventional imaging are individually/jointly associated with OS, PFS, PSA90 response, and PSA < 0.2 ng/mL at 6 months. Correlate 6-month PSA with presence/absence and volume of residual disease on PSMA-PET/CT. Assess concordance of radiographic progression on conventional imaging vs PSMA-PET/CT at PSA progression. Determine rPFS, time to castration resistance, and OS by disease volume thresholds and PSMA uptake (SUV) on baseline PSMA-PET/CT. Compare rPFS, time to castration resistance, and OS between arms in de novo metastatic disease patients who received primary-directed radiation therapy. Correlate rPFS, time to castration resistance, and OS with PSA response at 6 weeks and 6 months. Compare treatment impact on aging trajectory using change in Deficit-Accumulation Frailty Index (DAFI) from baseline to 6 and 12 months. STUDY DESIGN / OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms. Arm 1: ADT at investigator discretion plus apalutamide PO daily. Cycles repeat every 12 weeks until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo CT/MRI and bone scan throughout the study and may optionally undergo PSMA-PET scans and blood collection. Arm 2: ADT at investigator discretion plus apalutamide PO daily, with cycles every 12 weeks until progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also receive docetaxel IV over 1 hour every 21 days for up to 6 doses. Patients undergo CT/MRI and bone scan throughout the study and may optionally undergo PSMA-PET scans and blood collection. After treatment, patients are followed every 6 months for up to 10 years.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Documentation of disease:

* Histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate without small cell histology

Must have had evidence of metastatic disease (American Joint Committee on Cancer [AJCC] metastasis [M]1 disease) based on conventional CT/MRI and/or bone scan. This will be defined as:

Bone metastases detected by CT, radionuclide technetium-99 (99Tc)- methylene bisphosphonate bone scan, or MRI as defined by PCWG3 criteria; OR
Non-pelvic lymph node metastases (measurable lymph nodes above the aortic bifurcation; lymph nodes are measurable if the short axis diameter is ≥ 15 mm) detected on CT or MRI as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version 1.1. Subjects with regional lymph node metastases only (nodes [N]1, below the aortic bifurcation) will not be eligible for the study; OR
Visceral or soft tissue metastases detected on CT or MRI as defined by RECIST version 1.1. Soft tissue/visceral lesions are measurable if the long axis diameter is ≥ 10 mm
Evidence of metastatic disease by PSMA-PET only and not visible by CT, radionuclide bone scan, or MRI will not satisfy eligibility criteria
No metachronous low-volume disease (defined as recurrent metastatic disease after definitive treatment of prostate primary) and with ≤ 4 bone metastasis and no visceral metastasis on conventional imaging by CT, radionuclide 99Tc-biphosphonate bone scan, or MRI)
Next generation sequencing (NGS) results from any tissue based Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act (CLIA) test must be available at the time of registration. NGS from soft tissue or visceral lesion if available is preferred. NGS from bone or primary prostate will be accepted. Patients with failed NGS testing are not eligible
Prior treatment

ADT (luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone [LHRH] agonist/antagonist or orchiectomy) with or without first generation anti-androgen, or second-generation androgen receptor signaling inhibitor (ARSI) within 120 days of registration is permitted. No washout period will be needed for the first generation- androgen or ARSI prior to registration. Anti-androgen treatment is only permitted if used within 120 days of registration
