NCT ID NCT02274779

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tested a combination of high-dose radiation and hormone therapy (leuprorelin) in 74 men with prostate cancer that had returned in up to 5 pelvic lymph nodes after initial treatment. The goal was to see if this approach could delay further cancer growth or relapse. Participants received radiation to the affected nodes plus six months of hormone therapy, and researchers tracked how long it took for the cancer to progress again.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Leuprorelin (Eligard) hormone therapy plus high-dose radiation therapy
What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could delay the return of prostate cancer after initial treatment, potentially extending the time before more aggressive therapy is needed.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial (74 participants) with no control group, so results may not apply broadly. Hormone therapy has side effects like hot flashes and fatigue, and the treatment may not prevent eventual relapse.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Histologically proven adenocarcinoma of the prostate 2. Patients aged 18 years or more 3. PS 0-1 4. Previous radical treatment to the prostate (radiotherapy or surgery) 5. PSA increase of at least 3 assays in the same laboratory over the last 12 months. 6. 1-5 pelvic lymph node metastases detected with 18FCH-PET. A relapse in the dressing prostatectomy is associated possible. 7. Upper limit of lymph node metastases: aortic bifurcation 8. Respect dosimetric constraints to organs at risk 9. Treatment with hormone therapy may be started before inclusion, to a maximum of three months prior to Day 1 of radiotherapy. This hormone will necessarily be preceded by a free interval treatment of at least 6 months since the last injection, by adding the duration of action of this predictable injection (1, 3 or 6 months) 10. Patient affiliated to a social security scheme 11. Patient Information and written informed consent form signed Exclusion Criteria: 1. bone or visceral metastatic relapse associated 2. para-aortic nodal relapse (the upper limit is tolerated aortic bifurcation) 3. more than 5 lymph node metastases 4. Proof of metastases at initial diagnosis 5. Evidence of distant metastases in the pelvic lymph nodes or outside the prostate bed 6. prior pelvic lymph nodes Irradiation. Irradiation of the bed of the prostate is not an exclusion criterion, but the junction between prior irradiation bed prostatectomy and radiation field pelvic lymph nodes should be examined carefully 7. castration resistance defined by clinical or biochemical progression despite a combined androgen blockade 8. known contraindications to pelvic irradiation (eg, chronic inflammatory bowel disease, ...) 9. known contraindications to hormone therapy, according to standard recommendations in force 10. serious Hypertension not controlled by appropriate treatment 11. Other concomitant cancer or history of cancer (within 5 years prior to study entry), except basal cell or squamous cell carcinomas of the skin. 12. Patient with a psychological, familial, sociological or geographical potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule 13. Patient already included in another interventional study involving the approval of a CPP during his screening for the study OLIGOPELVIS 14. Private person of liberty or major trust
