Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Rezvilutamide works to treat high-risk prostate cancer in patients who have recently undergone surgery (radical prostatectomy). It will also learn about the safety of Rezvilutamide. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Does Rezvilutamide, when used as an add-on treatment after surgery, lower the risk of the cancer returning (biochemical recurrence) within 3 years? What is the 36-month metastasis-free survival (MFS) rate for patients receiving this treatment? What is the safety profile of Rezvilutamide combined with ADT, specifically regarding the types, grades, and incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs), Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs), and rare adverse events? What are the exploratory findings regarding the status of immune cells after using Rezvilutamide?
Researchers will evaluate the combination of Rezvilutamide and hormone therapy (ADT) to see if it helps keep patients cancer-free.
Participants will:
Take Rezvilutamide: 240 mg once daily, taken orally before or after breakfast. Each cycle is 28 days, for up to 24 cycles. Treatment continues unless biochemical recurrence, disease progression, intolerable toxicity occurs, or the participant withdraws consent, as determined by the investigator.
Receive Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT): Leuprorelin 3.75mg via subcutaneous injection, once every 28 days for a total of 12 cycles.
Detailed Description
[Study Rationale & Background] High-risk prostate cancer is typically defined by factors including clinical stage (e.g., cT3-4), a Gleason score of 8 or higher, and Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) levels greater than 20 ng/mL. Patients meeting these criteria face a significant risk of recurrence after radical prostatectomy (RP). While adjuvant radiotherapy is a standard option, many patients cannot tolerate or choose not to undergo radiation. This study explores an intensive endocrine therapy approach using Rezvilutamide, a potent new-generation oral androgen receptor (AR) inhibitor, combined with standard Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT).
[Study Design & Intervention] This is an exploratory, prospective, single-arm clinical study. After enrollment, participants will receive a combination therapy of standard-dose Rezvilutamide (240 mg once daily, orally) and ADT (Leuprorelin 3.75 mg subcutaneous injection, once every 4 weeks). Each treatment cycle lasts 28 days. After completing 12 cycles of the combination therapy, participants will proceed to monotherapy with standard-dose Rezvilutamide for maintenance. The total duration of treatment will be up to 24 cycles. The primary objective is to evaluate the 3-year biochemical recurrence-free survival (BCRFS) rate.
[Safety & Exploratory Objectives] Secondary objectives focus on the 36-month metastasis-free survival (MFS) rate and a comprehensive safety profile. This includes monitoring the types, grades, and incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs), and Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs). Additionally, the study includes an exploratory analysis of immune cell status to characterize the biological impact of Rezvilutamide on the patient's immune environment during treatment.
[Quality of Life] Patient-reported outcomes and quality of life will be monitored throughout the study using standardized assessment tools, including the FACT-P, EPIC-26, and BPI-SF scales, to ensure a holistic evaluation of the treatment's impact on physical and emotional well-being.
