Radiation boost may extend Drug-Free time in prostate cancer recurrence
NCT ID NCT07782112
First seen Aug 24, 2026 · Last updated Aug 25, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether adding targeted radiation to standard hormone therapy can help men with recurring prostate cancer stay off cancer drugs longer. Men with a rising PSA and 1 to 5 metastases will receive either hormone therapy alone or hormone therapy plus radiation to the metastases and possibly the pelvic area. The goal is to see if radiation leads to a deeper PSA drop and delays the need to restart treatment, while also checking its impact on quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- enzalutamide plus androgen-deprivation therapy, with or without metastasis-directed radiotherapy and/or pelvic radiotherapy
- What this could lead to
- If adding radiation works, men with recurring prostate cancer might enjoy longer drug-free periods while keeping the cancer in check, improving quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- The trial is still in progress, so results are not yet known. Radiation may not extend the drug-free period, and side effects from added treatment could affect quality of life.

Inclusion Criteria: * Histologically proven initial diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the prostate * Rising PSA after local therapy as defined by PSA ≥ 0.2 ng/mL after RP +/- adjuvant/salvage prostate bed RT and at least 2 ng/mL above nadir for primary RT, with a PSADT ≤ 9 months * Serum Testosterone ≥ 150 ng/dl (6.9343 nM/L) * On PSMA PET/CT restaging presence of: 1 to 5 distant metastases that are amenable to MDT ± N1 patients (no limit in the number of nodes) * ECOG performance status 0 - 2 * Age \> or =18 years * Absence of any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule; those conditions should be discussed with the patient before registration in the trial * Before patient registration/randomization, written informed consent must be given according to ICH/GCP, and national/local regulations Exclusion Criteria: * More than 5 distant PSMA positive metastases and/or brain or leptomeningeal metastases. * Prostate recurrence (positive PSMA disease) after primary prostate irradiation * Prostate bed recurrence (positive PSMA disease) after salvage/adjuvant irradiation * Pelvic nodal recurrence (positive PSMA disease) after primary WPRT irradiation * Contraindications to pelvic RT and/or MDT * Prior evidence of distant metastatic disease * Contraindications to ADT * Contraindication for treatment with enzalutamide * Prior hormonal therapy (Neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy to treat PCa ≤ 36 months in duration and ≥ 9 months before randomization is allowed) * Previous treatment with cytotoxic agent for PCa * Any active malignancies (i.e., progressing or requiring any treatment in the previous 36 months) other than prostate cancer (except non-muscle invasive bladder cancer; non-melanomatous skin cancer or a malignancy that is considered cured with minimal risk of recurrence
