Genomic Biomarker-Selected Umbrella Neoadjuvant Study for High Risk Localized Prostate Cancer
Trial Status: active
The objective of this study is to see if providing an appropriate therapy based on the
genomic testing of prostate tumour tissue will result in an improved clinical response.
Each participant will be treated with 8 weeks of a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone
agonist (LHRHa) plus apalutamide (APA) while genome sequence characterization is being
done. Participants with biopsy specimens deemed unevaluable for genomic testing will
remain on LHRHa plus APA for an additional 16 weeks.
Participants with evaluable tissue will be assigned to one of the open-label sub-studies
on the basis of genomic profiling results. Within each group, they will be randomized to
a specific treatment arm either LHRHa plus APA alone or adding abiraterone acetate and
prednisone, docetaxel or niraparib.
The study will evaluate the response rate and outcomes after radical prostatectomy in
each arm of the trial.
Inclusion Criteria
I. Males ≥ 18 years of age II. Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate without pathologic evidence
of small cell differentiation at the time of initial diagnosis III. High-risk localized prostate cancer as defined by:
PSA (prostate specific antigen) >20, any GS or >8 or
Gleason pattern 4 in 6 or more systematic cores (pattern 4 must be dominant, ≥50% average across 6 or more systematic cores) or
≥ 50% Gleason pattern 4 in 3 or more systematic or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)-targeted cores and PSA ≥ 20 (may include G4+3 or G4+4 but pattern 4 must be dominant, ≥50% average across 3 or more systematic cores) or
≥25% Gleason pattern 5 in 3 or more systematic or MRI-targeted cores (may include G4+5, or G3+5, but pattern 5 must be ≥25% average across 3 or more systematic cores).
Gleason > 8 or greater on minimum of one core either targeted or systematic biopsy and PSA >20
Participants with oligometastatic (< 3) metastases by PSMA (Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen) imaging only who are deemed candidates for radical prostatectomy are eligible IV. Participants must consent to genetic testing at registration and prior to assignment
by a central reference laboratory V. No prior systemic or localized treatment for prostate cancer. Up to 30 days of LHRHa
is allowable prior to treatment. VI. ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) performance status 0 or 1 (Appendix II) and
a life expectancy of ≥ 3 years VII. Participants must have adequate end-organ function and all laboratory tests must be
performed within 4 weeks prior to registration into master protocol. VIII. Participant consent must be appropriately obtained in accordance with applicable
local and regulatory requirements. Each participant must sign a consent form prior to
enrolment in the trial to document their willingness to participate.
Exclusion Criteria
I. Received more than 30 days of LHRHa prior to registration and initiation of LHRHa + APA II. Stage T4 prostate cancer by clinical examination or radiologic evaluation III. Hypogonadism or severe androgen deficiency as defined by screening serum
testosterone more than 50 ng/dL below the normal range for the institution IV. Participants with serious illnesses or medical conditions which could cause
unacceptable safety risks or would not permit the participant to be managed according to
the protocol. This includes but is not limited to:
Active infection or chronic liver disease requiring systemic therapy;
Active or known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) with detectable viral load;
Uncontrolled or recent clinically significant cardiac disease, including: angina pectoris, symptomatic pericarditis, coronary artery bypass grafting, coronary angioplasty, or stenting, or myocardial infarction in the previous 12 months; history of documented congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association functional classification III-IV) or cardiomyopathy; history of any cardiac arrhythmias, e.g. ventricular, supraventricular, nodal arrhythmias, or conduction abnormality in the previous 12 months;
Participants with uncontrolled hypertension V. Participants who are unable to swallow oral medication and/or have impairment of
gastrointestinal (GI) function or GI disease that may significantly alter the absorption
of the study drugs (e.g. ulcerative diseases, uncontrolled nausea, vomiting, diarrhea,
malabsorption syndrome, or small bowel resection) VI. Participants with a history of hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or any
excipient VII. Participants with a history of non-compliance to medical regimen VIII. Severe concurrent disease, infection, or co-morbidity that, in the judgement of the
Investigator, would make the participant inappropriate for enrollment or prostatectomy IX. Prior androgen deprivation, chemotherapy, surgery, or radiation for prostate cancer X. Receiving concurrent androgens, estrogens, or pregestational agents, or prior exposure
to any of these agents within 6 months prior to randomization XI. M1 by conventional imaging (CT, bone scan)

This is a multi-centre adaptive multi-arm phase II study. Participants are treated with
an induction period of at least 8 weeks of LHRH agonist/antagonist (LHRHa) plus
apalutamide (APA) while genome sequence characterization is being done.
Genomic sequencing analysis will be performed centrally by Tempus, a CLIA (Clinical
Laboratory Improvement Amendments)-certified laboratory. For the DNA gene profiling,
formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) prostate cancer and surrounding healthy tissue
from diagnostic biopsies will be used for genetic analysis. Copy number profiling will be
performed using array Comparative Genomic Hybridisation (aCGH). Targeted sequencing using
MiSeq (Illumina) and Ion Proton (Life Technologies) platforms will be performed to
identify mutations in a panel of 648 genes.
Based on previous studies, we conservatively expect up to 25% of unevaluable needle
biopsy specimens with inadequate/insufficient tumor tissue for genome sequencing. The
patients with unevaluable tissue will continue on the master protocol (LHRHa + APA) for
an additional 16 weeks followed by radical prostatectomy.
The genomically evaluable patients will be assigned to a specific sub-protocol according
to the results of the genomic profile and randomized to a treatment arm within the
sub-protocol for 16 weeks, with additional inclusion and exclusion criteria specified in
dedicated sub-protocols. Radical prostatectomy will follow sub-protocol treatment.
Sub-protocol 1 - AR axis: No targetable actionable aberration; presence of TMPRSS2-ERG
fusion, CHD1 loss or SPOP mutations: (~50% expected prevalence in study population)
randomized to:
1. LHRHa + APA for 16 weeks or
2. LHRHa + APA + AAP (Abiraterone Acetate + Prednisone) for 16 weeks
Sub-protocol 2 - Loss of tumour suppressor genes - PTEN, TP53 or TB loss (~40%, bad
prognosis) randomized to:
1. LHRHa + AAP for 16 weeks or
2. LHRHa + AAP + docetaxel for 6 cycles
Sub-protocol 3 - DNA damage response alterations (e.g. BRCA1/2, ATM, FANCONI, CDK12) in
