Overview

Brief Summary

This is a prospective, randomized, open-label, phase II multicenter clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of radical prostatectomy in patients with high-volume metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) who achieve good response after systemic therapy with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) plus second-generation antiandrogens such as rezvilutamide. All eligible patients will receive 6 months of induction systemic therapy (ADT plus second-generation androgen receptor signaling inhibitors, with or without docetaxel or other systemic agents). Patients who achieve PSMA PET/CT "conversion success" (no metabolically active lesions; all metastases with SUVmax below liver background or blood pool) will be randomized 1:1 to continue systemic therapy alone (control arm) or receive local prostate treatment (radical prostatectomy or radiotherapy) plus systemic therapy (experimental arm). The primary endpoint is radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS). Key secondary endpoints include overall survival (OS), biochemical progression-free survival (bPFS), PSA response rate, quality of life, conversion success rate, and safety.

Arms & Interventions

Systemic Therapy Alone

Participants with high-volume metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) who achieve "conversion success" after induction systemic therapy will be randomized to this arm at either the 6-month or 12-month evaluation. Conversion success is defined based on PSMA PET/CT as all metastatic lesions showing no obvious uptake (SUVmax lower than liver SUVmean or blood pool SUVmean) and fulfilling all predefined clinical and radiological criteria for randomization. Patients randomized to Arm A will continue standard systemic therapy alone without local prostate surgery or radiotherapy. Systemic therapy consists of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) using LHRH agonists or antagonists (e.g., goserelin, leuprolide, triptorelin, degarelix) combined with second-generation androgen receptor signaling inhibitors (such as rezvilutamide, enzalutamide, apalutamide, darolutamide, or abiraterone), with or without docetaxel and other systemic agents (e.g., PARP inhibitors such as olaparib), admini

  • Change from Baseline in SF-36 Score(From baseline to 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after randomization.)
  • Change from Baseline in FACT-G Total Score(From baseline to 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after randomization.)
  • Safety Endpoints(From first dose to 30 days after last dose or last study visit)
  • Change from Baseline in EORTC QLQ-C30 Score(From baseline to 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after randomization.)
