PROMOTE: Identifying Predictive Markers of Response for Genitourinary Cancer (NCT02735252)
Precision Oncology and Molecular Targeting in Advanced Genitourinary Cancers: Identifying Predictive Markers of Response (The "PROMOTE" Study)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This is a tissue and blood collection protocol requiring image-guided biopsies of metastatic prostate cancer and other genitourinary malignancies including renal cell carcinoma and urothelial carcinoma. Whenever possible, a new bone lesion or new/progressing soft tissue lesion will be chosen for biopsy as opposed to radiographically stable lesion. Patients will be enrolled in into one of several parallel cohorts based upon disease status or type and the planned systemic therapy following baseline tumor biopsy: (A) Androgen signaling inhibition, (B) Immunotherapy, (C) Radiotherapy, (D) Targeted Therapy/Investigational therapeutic, (E) DNA damage response pathway, (F) Aggressive variant disease, (G1) Castration-sensitive ADT naïve and ADT \< 3 months), or (G2) Castration-sensitive pre-treated with sub-optimal PSA nadir \>0.2 ng/ml, (R) metastatic renal cell carcinoma and metastatic and (U) urothelial carcinoma.
