Mapping the tumor microenvironment to predict prostate cancer therapy outcomes
NCT ID NCT07795177
First seen Aug 31, 2026 · Last updated Sep 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study investigates whether detailed molecular mapping of prostate tumors can predict how well men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer respond to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) combined with second-generation hormonal agents like abiraterone or enzalutamide. Researchers will analyze tumor tissue samples using advanced techniques to examine genetic mutations, gene activity, and protein expression in the tumor and its surroundings. The goal is to identify molecular patterns that correlate with treatment outcomes, potentially leading to more personalized therapy decisions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ADT plus abiraterone or other ARPIs (apalutamide, enzalutamide, rezvilutamide, darolutamide)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a test that predicts which men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer will benefit most from ADT plus ARPI therapy, enabling more personalized treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase study. The molecular features may not reliably predict treatment response, and the findings may not apply to all patients.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age \> 18 years and \< 85 years. 2. Histopathologically confirmed prostate adenocarcinoma, ductal adenocarcinoma, or intraductal carcinoma. 3. Imaging evidence of definite distant metastases (according to RECIST criteria). 4. Pre-biopsy PSA ≥ 20 ng/mL or Gleason score ≥ 4+4. 5.

Ability and willingness to provide written informed consent, and capability to comply with the study visit schedule. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Histopathological diagnosis of neuroendocrine or small cell prostate cancer. 2. No definite distant metastases detected on imaging. 3. Prior history of anti-tumor therapy (including neoadjuvant, adjuvant, or other treatments). 4. Submitted biopsy samples fail to meet quality control requirements. 5. Concurrent severe endocrine or metabolic disorders, or other severe digestive system diseases. 6. Concurrent chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, chronic nephritis, renal insufficiency, or other relevant conditions. 7. History of immunodeficiency or organ transplantation. 8. History of other concurrent malignancies. 9. Concurrent enrollment in other clinical trials. 10. Other conditions that the investigator deems unsuitable for study enrollment.
