FDG-PET-Guided Metastasis Directed Radiation Therapy for the Treatment of Metastatic Hormone Sensitive Prostate Cancer, The PRTY Trial (NCT06244004)
A Randomized Open Label Phase II Trial of FDG-PET-Guided Metastasis Directed Therapy in Patients With Metastatic Hormone Sensitive Prostate Cancer: PRTY Trial: PET- Guided Radiotherapy Consolidation
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This phase II trial compares the effect of FDG-positron emission tomography (PET)-guided metastasis directed radiation therapy (MDRT) in combination with standard treatments to standard treatments alone in treating patients with prostate cancer that is sensitive to androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) and has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among men in the United States, despite the approval of several life-prolonging treatments by the Food and Drug Administration. However, over the past 10 years, there have been significant improvements in prolonging the lives of those with metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer, specifically by adding treatments to standard therapy, such as ADT. More recently, trials have demonstrated a benefit of using radiotherapy (high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors) to delay the progression of cancer and prolong life for patients with metastatic disease. Imaging scans with FDG-PET may be able to identify cancer sites that remain active despite standard treatment. Giving MDRT plus standard treatment to patients with FDG-PET-identified cancer sites may work better than standard treatment alone in treating metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer.
