What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This phase II trial is testing whether adding two hormone-blocking drugs, relugolix and enzalutamide, to standard radiation therapy can better control very-high-risk prostate cancer. About 50 men will receive the combination for 18 months. The main goal is to see if it lowers the chance of cancer returning after treatment.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Relugolix and enzalutamide (hormone therapy drugs) plus radiation therapy
What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could offer a more effective treatment option for men with very-high-risk prostate cancer, potentially reducing recurrence and improving survival.
What could go wrong
This is an early phase II trial with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Hormone therapy can cause side effects like hot flashes, fatigue, and sexual dysfunction.

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients must have histologically confirmed prostate adenocarcinoma consistent with NCCN very-high-risk (VHR) prostate cancer defined with at least one of the following: * cT3b-cT4 (American Joint Committee on Cancer \[AJCC\] 9.0) * \> 4 cores with grade group 4 or 5 prostate cancer * Primary gleason pattern 5 * 2 or 3 NCCN high-risk features. * Patients with involved pelvic lymph nodes below the common iliac bifurcation will be allowed as long as the criteria for VHR (very-high risk) are met * Patients must be age ≥ 18 years * Patients must have testosterone \> 50 ng/dL within 90 days prior to registration * Note: Prior androgen deprivation (gonadotrophin releasing hormone \[GnRH\] analog and/or non-steroidal antiandrogen) therapy is allowed provided that it is less than 60 days of prior total duration and that serum testosterone concentration must be ≥ 50 ng/dL prior to enrollment; 5-alpha reductase inhibitors will not impact eligibility, but must be discontinued prior to starting protocol treatment * Patients must exhibit an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-2 * Leukocytes (white blood cells \[WBC\]) ≥ 2,500/mcL * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,500/mcL * Hemoglobin (Hgb) ≥ 8 g/dL * Platelets (PLT) ≥ 80,000/mcL * Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase \[SGOT\]) ≤ 3 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) * Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase \[SGPT\]) ≤ 3 x institutional ULN * Creatinine ≤ institutional ULN * Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 * Estimated GFR (eGFR) is estimated GFR calculated by the abbreviated Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) equation * For patients with a known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), infected patients on effective anti-retroviral therapy must have a viral load undetectable for 3 months prior to registration with a CD4 count of ≥ 200 cells/μL. Note also that HIV testing is not required for eligibility for this protocol as it is self-reported * Patients with known history or current symptoms of cardiac disease, or history of treatment with cardiotoxic agents, should have a clinical risk assessment of cardiac function using the New York Heart Association Functional Classification. To be eligible for this trial, patients should be better than class III * Patients must not have contraindications to magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and be able to lie flat and still for approximately 30-40 minutes and be able to tolerate PET/CT imaging and radiation therapy treatment planning and delivery * Patients with female partners of reproductive potential must agree to use effective contraception during treatment with and for 3 months after the last dose. Male patients must use a condom during sex with a pregnant woman * Patients must have the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document and comply with the study requirements Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with definitive clinical or radiologic evidence of metastatic disease * Patients with prior invasive malignancy (except non-melanomatous skin cancer carcinoma in situ of the male breast, penis, oral cavity, or stage Ta of the bladder, or stage I completely resected melanoma) unless disease free for a minimum of 2 years * Prior radiotherapy that would result in overlap of radiation therapy fields * Patients who have a history of any of the following: * History of documented inflammatory bowel disease * Symptomatic congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association Functional Classification III/IV) within 4 months prior to registration * Unstable angina pectoris requiring hospitalization within the last 4 months prior to registration * History of seizure disorder or condition that may yield a high risk of seizure (e.g., prior cortical stroke or significant brain trauma) * Psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements * History of repeated falls and fractures over the past 12 months that in the opinion of the treating investigator would put the patient at risk for poor bone outcomes from androgen receptor targeted therapy * Any other illness or condition that the treating investigator feels would interfere with study compliance or would compromise the patient's safety or study endpoints * Patients with the inability to take oral medication OR have malabsorption syndrome or any other uncontrolled gastrointestinal condition (eg, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting) that might impair the bioavailability of enzalutamide and relugolix
