Brief Summary

PEACE 7 is an international, multicenter, randomized, open-label phase III study that aims at evaluating the efficacy and safety of darolutamide and of stereotactic dose escalated prostate radiotherapy in patients with localised prostate cancer and high-risk features of relapse (defined as patients with at least 2 high-risk criteria from National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) classification) using a factorial (2x2) design.

The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of darolutamide and of a stereotactic dose escalated radiotherapy targeting prostate in combination with ADT and pelvic nodal radiotherapy in terms of metastasis-free survival (MSF).

Patients will be randomized (1:1:1:1) to receive either:

* Arm A (Standard arm): ADT + conventional fractionated or moderately hypo-fractionated prostate radiotherapy including pelvic nodal radiotherapy

* Arm B (Experimental arm): ADT + conventional fractionated or moderately hypo-fractionated prostate radiotherapy including pelvic nodal radiotherapy + darolutamide

* Arm C (Experimental arm): ADT + conventional fractionated or moderately hypo-fractionated pelvic nodal radiotherapy + Prostate SBRT

* Arm D (Experimental arm): ADT + conventional fractionated or moderately hypo-fractionated pelvic nodal radiotherapy + Prostate SBRT + darolutamide

Patient will receive systemic treatments (ADT and/or darolutamide) during 2 years where visits on site are planned at D45, D90, D180 and then every 3 months for checkups and follow prostate specific antigen (PSA) level.

Metastasis-free survival (MFS) is defined as the time interval from randomization to the date of the appearance of metastasis (on next generation imaging) or death (from any cause), whichever occurs first. Radiographic evaluation will be carried out at the time of biochemical failure (Phoenix criteria) or in case of clinical suspicion. After biochemical failure (Phoenix criteria) radiographic evaluation on next generation imaging (prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET) scan (any European Medicines Agency (EMA) approved PSMA tracer)) will be performed every 6 months until a metastatic site of relapse is identified and will be repeated at each subsequent PSA progression.

  2. Recent history of TURP or prostate enucleation (less than 6 months) Note: patients with severe obstructive symptoms (defined as International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) ≥20) should be carefully evaluated to rule out the need for TURP/Prostate enucleation
  3. Prior treatment for prostate cancer, including prostatectomy, except lymph node dissection (patients with PN- disease only can be accrued) or ADT (started more than 6 weeks before randomization)
  4. Patient with other known concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled concurrent medical disease or infection (such as active viral hepatitis, active human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or chronic liver disease) or co-morbidity, which could compromise participation in the study
  5. Cardiac disease such as uncontrolled hypertension (systolic BP ≥160 mmHg or diastolic BP ≥95 mmHg; 3 consecutive measures taken 5 minutes apart), stroke, congestive cardiac failure, ventricular arrhythmias, active ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction within one year, coronary/peripheral artery bypass graft, LVEF > grade 2
  6. Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus
  7. Current active hepatic or biliary disease (with exception of subjects with Gilbert's syndrome, asymptomatic gallstones, stable chronic liver disease per investigator assessment)
  8. Gastrointestinal disorder or procedure, which expects to interfere significantly with absorption of study treatment. Severe GI disorders precluding pelvic irradiation
  9. Known severely impaired lung function (spirometry and DLCO 70% or less of normal and O2 saturation of 88% or less at rest on room air)
  10. Other prior malignancy within the last 3 years, except basal cell skin cancer
  11. Known hypersensitivity to the study treatment or any of its ingredients.
  12. Physical or psychological condition or any condition that in the opinion of the investigator would impair the patients' ability to comply with the study procedures
  13. Previous treatment for prostate cancer (surgery or radiotherapy) or previous pelvic irradiation that would make prostate/pelvis radiotherapy impossible
  14. Concomitant prohibited treatment. Concurrent or planned treatment with strong inhibitors or strong inducers of cytochrome P450 3A4/5. A one-week washout period is necessary for patients who are already on these treatments
  15. Prior treatment with second generation androgen receptor (AR) inhibitors, other investigational AR inhibitors, or CYP17 enzyme inhibitor
  16. Use of oestrogens or 5-α reductase inhibitors or AR inhibitors
  17. Acute toxicities of prior treatments and procedures not resolved to grade ≤1 or baseline before randomization
