APPROACH : Multimodal Approach in Patients With mHSPC. A Pragmatic Randomized Trial of Apalutamide Plus Androgen Deprivation Therapy (APA-ADT) Versus APA-ADT Plus Local Treatment. A Meet-URO 29 Study
Italian multicenter study, will enroll \ 566 pts with oligometastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer who are candidates to receive treatment with apalutamide. After 6 months from the start of treatment, patients will be randomized to receive local treatment based on the investigator's choice ( either one between primary radiotherapy or cytoreductive prostatectomy), in addition to apalutamide, or to continue just with medical therapy.
• Age \> 18
• Histologically confirmed diagnosis of prostate adenocarcinoma
• Metastatic disease documented by ≥1 bone lesion with Technetium 99m (99mTc) bone scan. Individuals with only one bone lesion should have confirmation of that lesion on CT or MRI.
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) Grade ≤ 2
• No previous treatment with antiandrogens or GnRH analogues, or a treatment ≤ 3 months.
• No previous systemic or local treatment for prostate adenocarcinoma, including pelvic radiotherapy.
• Laboratory values at the time of screening:
• a. Neutrophils ≥ 1500/μL b. Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 mg/μL (no transfusions in the past 28 days) c. Platelets ≥ 100,000/μL d. Creatinine ≤ 2 x upper limit of normal and serum albumin ≥ 3.0 g/dL f. Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal \[NOTE: In subjects with Gilbert syndrome, if total bilirubin is \>1.5 x ULN, measure direct and indirect bilirubin, and if direct bilirubin is ≤ 1.5 x ULN subjects may be eligible\]; g. AST and ALT ≤ 2.5 x upper limit of normal
