Clonal Emergence and Regression During Radium-223 Therapy for Metastatic Prostate Cancer

Completed
Conditions
Prostate Cancer
Interventions
Other: Ancillary/Correlative
Registration Number
NCT03677076
Lead Sponsor
Medical University of South Carolina
Brief Summary

This study is for patients with metastatic prostate cancer receiving radium-223 as their standard of care therapy. The researchers will collect blood and urine samples from patients before, during and after the radium-223 therapy. The researchers will compare these samples to observe how the treatment has affected different cancer markers.

Detailed Description

This study proposes to document the presence of clonal emergence and regression during radium-223 therapy for metastatic prostate cancer by serial ctDNA analysis of tumor-associated mutations, using the clinically-available Guardant 360 platform. These data may provide important mechanistic insights into radium-223 therapy by 1) identifying mutations associated with radium-223 resistance or sensitivity, 2) providing new markers of treatment response in an individual, and 3) revealing antitumor effects from radium-223 that are not easily recognized with standard tumor response metrics. Positive finding based on this clinically-available platform will be readily applied by the oncology treatment community.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Minor allele frequency (MAF) in ctDNA24 months

The primary objective is to estimate average change in MAF in one or more clonal SNVs, comparing baseline to on-treatment, and baseline to post-treatment samples

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in clonal mutation MAF and markers of bone metabolism24 months

• Evaluate the association between change in clonal mutation MAF and markers of bone metabolism including urine N-telopeptide and serum bone-specific alkaline phosphatase, measured by ELISA assays both during therapy and post-treatment.

Changes in MAF of clonal SNV24 months

• Determine if changes from baseline in MAF of clonal SNVs during therapy and post-treatment differ significantly from 0.

Change in clonal mutation MAF and change in pain24 months

• Evaluate the association between change from baseline in clonal mutation MAF and change in pain (evaluated by VAS pain score and analgesic usage diary), measured both during therapy and post-treatment.

Change in clonal mutation MAF and change in tumor markers24 months

• Evaluate the association between change in clonal mutation MAF and change in tumor markers, including prostate specific antigen (PSA), CEA and LDH, measured by standard biochemical assays both during therapy and post-treatment.

Change in clonal mutation MAF and presence of the TMPRSS2-ERG fusion gene24 months

• Evaluate the association between change in clonal mutation MAF and presence of the TMPRSS2-ERG fusion gene, measured in plasma/urine by digital PCR Evaluate the association between change in clonal mutation MAF and clinical benefit, (time from the last dose of radium-223 to the initiation of a new systemic therapy, measured at least 60 days after final dose) and change in QOL (measured by FACT-P instrument).
