Overview

Prospective trial evaluates biochemical response in prostate cancer with concurrent ultrahypofractionated radiotherapy and relugolix, suggesting improved outcomes.

Key Points

  • The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of combining short-course oral relugolix with ultrahypofractionated radiotherapy in intermediate-risk prostate cancer patients.
  • Prospective, single-arm Phase II trial design.
  • Participants: patients with unfavorable intermediate risk prostate carcinoma.
  • Treatment: 36.25 Gy in 5 fractions of ultrahypofractionated radiotherapy accompanied by short-course oral relugolix.
  • Oral relugolix dosed at 360 mg for an attack dose, followed by 120 mg daily for 6 months.
  • Primary endpoint: rate of complete biochemical response measured at 6 months post-treatment.
  • Enrollment of 20 patients initiated in May 2025, with a goal of 73 patients.
  • Expected proportion of patients with complete biochemical response aimed at <0.5 ng/ml at 6 months.
  • Intervention anticipated to yield improved testosterone recovery compared to historical treatments.
