Summary

This trial aims to study the effects of a type of radiation therapy called stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) and the timing of treatment with androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI) and

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men with hormone-sensitive prostate cancer that has spread and returned after improving. Participants should not have allergies to the treatments used in the study, which include various medications and radiation therapy.
What is being tested?
The DIVINE Trial is testing how well stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) works alone or when combined with ARPIs and ADT in treating metastatic, recurrent prostate cancer. It compares different treatment timings to see which is more effective.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include fatigue, skin reactions from radiation, hormonal changes due to ADT leading to hot flashes or decreased libido, and potential risks associated with ARPIs like joint pain, high blood pressure, and liver function changes.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Group B (SBRT, watchful waiting)Experimental Treatment8 Interventions
Patients undergo SBRT with watchful waiting. Cycles repeat every 4 months (16 weeks) in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Group II: Group A (SBRT, APRI, ADT)Active Control19 Interventions
Patients undergo SBRT and receive APRI (abiraterone and prednisone, apalutamide, darolutamide, or enzalutamide) and ADT (leuprolide, triptorelin, histrelin, goserelin, degarelix, or relugolix). Cycles repeat every 4 months (16 weeks) for up to 6 months in the absence of unacceptable toxicity. Patients then undergo watchful waiting thereafter until disease progression.
