Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Therapy

To assess rate of complete biochemical response after 6 months of treatment, defined as PSA <0.5 ng/ml, in an homogeneous cohort of patients affected by unfavourable intermediate risk localized prostate cancer undergoing prostate radiotherapy (36.25 GY in 5 fractions) + short course oral relugolix.

Secondary objectives 6

  1. Biochemical relapse free survival (BRFS) at 2 years after end of radiotherapy. Biochemical relapse will be defined as a rise by 2 ng/mL or more above the nadir PSA according to RTOG- ASTRO Phoenix Consensus Conference [Roach 2006]
  2. Rate of patients with testosterone recovery at 90 days from the end of ADT treatment (eugonadal level of testosterone will be defined as >150 ng/dL)
  3. Rate of patients experiencing non pathological fracture at 2 years
  4. Rate of cardiovascular events at 48 weeks (myocardial infarction and stroke)
  5. Erectile disfunction rate measured with IIEF at 2 years after the end of treatment
  6. Quality of life measured with EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-PR25
