Circulating Tumor DNA in High Risk Localized Prostate Cancer
This prospective, non-therapeutic translational biomarker study will collect blood in patients with high risk localized prostate cancer prior to prostatectomy.
• Must have histologically confirmed prostate cancer.
• Age ≥ 18 years.
• ECOG performance status of 0-1.
• Must have the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
• Willing to provide serial blood samples for the study.
• Willing to provide tumor tissue (prostatectomy for primary cohort; prostatectomy or biopsy for exploratory cohort) for correlative studies which will compare ctDNA to tumor specimens.
• Primary Cohort: High-risk localized prostate adenocarcinoma defined as one or more of the following:
• o Clinical stage ≥ cT3a, Grade Group 4 or 5 (Gleason sum 8-10), and PSA ≥ 20
• \*Non-bulky pelvic lymphadenopathy and indeterminate findings on staging imaging (CT, bone scan, PSMA PET CT) are allowed if the surgeon believes RP is appropriate.
• Exploratory Cohort: Men with a diagnosis of prostate adenocarcinoma and one of the following:
‣ Localized prostate adenocarcinoma on active surveillance
⁃ Biochemically-recurrent prostate adenocarcinoma after definitive local therapy
⁃ Hormone-sensitive, metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma
⁃ Metastatic CRPC
