About this study
Official title: STEEL: A Randomized Phase II Trial of Salvage Radiotherapy With Standard vs Enhanced Androgen Deprivation Therapy (With Enzalutamide) in Patients With Post-Prostatectomy PSA Recurrences With Aggressive Disease Features
Patients with post-prostatectomy PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) recurrences with aggressive disease features will receive salvage radiation therapy and standard androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) or enhanced ADT to determine if there is any improvement in progression-free survival when enhanced ADT is used compared to standard ADT.
Read the detailed description

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percentage of Participants Alive Without Progression (Progression-Free Survival)
Progression-free survival (PFS) is estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. PFS time is measured from randomization to the date of first PFS failure (biochemical or clinical failure, initiation of new unplanned anticancer treatment, or death from any cause) or last known follow-up (censored). Analysis was to occur after progression or death was reported for 101 participants. Biochemical failure is defined as first post-RT detectable PSA (PSA ≥ 0.05). Clinical failure is defined as either a local, regional, or distant failure.
Measured: From randomization to first failure or last known follow-up. Median follow-up time at the time of analysis was 33.1 months. The 1- and 2-year estimates are reported.
Secondary outcomes (16)
Percentage of Participants With Biochemical Failure
Biochemical failure is defined as the first detectable post-RT prostate-specific antigen (PSA) value (≥ 0.05) or the initiation of salvage hormone therapy. Failure rates are estimated using the cumulative incidence method, treating death as a competing risk, and otherwise censoring participants alive at time of analysis.
Measured: From randomization to first failure, competing event, or last known follow-up, whichever occurs first. Median follow-up time at the time of analysis was 33.1 months. The 1- and 2-year estimates are reported.
Percentage of Participants With Alternative Biochemical Failure
Alternative biochemical failure is defined as first post-RT PSA ≥ 0.1 ng/mL or initiation of salvage hormone therapy. Failure rates are estimated using the cumulative incidence method, treating death as a competing risk, and otherwise censoring participants alive at time of analysis.
Measured: From randomization to first failure, competing event, or last known follow-up, whichever occurs first. Median follow-up time at the time of analysis was 33.1 months. The 1- and 2-year estimates are reported.
Percentage of Participants With Hormone-refractory Disease
Hormone-refractory disease is defined as three rises in PSA during salvage androgen deprivation, with the date determined as the midway date between the last non-rising PSA and the first of the three rises. Failure rates were to be estimated using the cumulative incidence method, treating death as a competing risk, and otherwise censoring participants alive at time of analysis, but for endpoints with < 10 events overall, such as this one, only the counts of participants with the event are provided.
Measured: From randomization to first failure, competing event, or last known follow-up, whichever occurs first. Median follow-up time at the time of analysis was 33.1 months.
Percentage of Participants With Distant Metastasis
Distant failure is defined as first radiographic evidence of distant metastasis (e.g., bone scan, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)). Failure rates were to be estimated using the cumulative incidence method, treating death as a competing risk, and otherwise censoring participants alive at time of analysis, but for endpoints with < 10 events overall, such as this one, only the counts of participants with the event are provided.
Measured: From randomization to first failure, competing event, or last known follow-up, whichever occurs first. Median follow-up time at the time of analysis was 33.1 months.
Percentage of Participants With Prostate Cancer Death
Cause-specific mortality is defined as death due to prostate cancer. Failure rates were to be estimated using the cumulative incidence method, treating death as a competing risk, and otherwise censoring participants alive at time of analysis, but for endpoints with < 10 events overall, such as this one, only the counts of participants with the event are provided.
Measured: From randomization to first failure, competing event, or last known follow-up, whichever occurs first. Median follow-up time at the time of analysis was 33.1 months.
Percentage of Participants Alive (Overall Survival)
Survival rates were to be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, censoring participants alive at time of analysis, but for endpoints with < 10 events overall, such as this one, only counts are provided. In this case, the number of participants without event (death), which is the number of participants alive.
Measured: From randomization to death or last known follow-up, whichever occurs first. Median follow-up time at the time of analysis was 33.1 months.
Change From Baseline to End of RT in the 5-level European Quality of Life Questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) Index Score
The EQ-5D-5L is a self-assessment questionnaire. The index score is computed from 5 items (mobility, self care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression) each with 5 problem levels (1-none to 5-extreme). The 5-item index score is transformed into a utility score between 0 (worst health state) and 1 (best health state). Change score was calculated by subtracting baseline from later score, with a positive change score indicating improvement.
Measured: Baseline and end of radiation treatment (RT). End of RT can vary greatly depending on when it starts, which can be from 0 to 70 days from the start of ADT, and lasting 7-8 weeks.
Change From Baseline to One Year After End of RT in the EQ-5D-5L Index Score
The EQ-5D-5L is a self-assessment questionnaire. The index score is computed from 5 items (mobility, self care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression) each with 5 problem levels (1-none to 5-extreme). The 5-item index score is transformed into a utility score between 0 (worst health state) and 1 (best health state). Change score was calculated by subtracting baseline from later score, with a positive change score indicating improvement.
Measured: Baseline and one year after end RT. End of RT can vary greatly depending on when it starts, which can be from 0 to 70 days from the start of ADT, and lasting 7-8 weeks.
Change From Baseline to Two Years After End of RT in the EQ-5D-5L Index Score
The EQ-5D-5L is a self-assessment questionnaire. The index score is computed from 5 items (mobility, self care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression) each with 5 problem levels (1-none to 5-extreme). The 5-item index score is transformed into a utility score between 0 (worst health state) and 1 (best health state). Change score was calculated by subtracting baseline from later score, with a positive change score indicating improvement.
Measured: Baseline and two years after end of RT. End of RT can vary greatly depending on when it starts, which can be from 0 to 70 days from the start of ADT, and lasting 7-8 weeks.
Change From Baseline to End of RT in the 7-item Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System - Fatigue Short Form (PROMIS-F SF 7a) [PROMIS Fatigue Score]
The PROMIS fatigue score measures self-reported fatigue symptoms over the past 7 days. Possible raw scores range from 29.4 to 83.2 (higher raw score indicating greater fatigue) and are converted into standardized T-scores (mean=50, standard deviation=10) with higher scores also indicating greater fatigue. Change score is calculated by subtracting baseline T-score from later T-score, with a positive change score indicating increased fatigue.
Measured: Baseline and end of RT. End of RT can vary greatly depending on when it starts, which can be from 0 to 70 days from the start of ADT, and lasting 7-8 weeks.
Change From Baseline to One Year After the End of RT in the 7-item Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System - Fatigue Short Form (PROMIS-F SF 7a) [PROMIS Fatigue Score]
The PROMIS fatigue score measures self-reported fatigue symptoms over the past 7 days. Possible raw scores range from 29.4 to 83.2 (higher raw score indicating greater fatigue) and are converted into standardized T-scores (mean=50, standard deviation=10) with higher scores also indicating greater fatigue. Change score is calculated by subtracting baseline T-score from later T-score, with a positive change score indicating increased fatigue.
Measured: Baseline and one year after end of RT. End of RT can vary greatly depending on when it starts, which can be from 0 to 70 days from the start of ADT, and lasting 7-8 weeks.
Change From Baseline to Two Years After the End of RT in the 7-item Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System - Fatigue Short Form (PROMIS-F SF 7a) [PROMIS Fatigue Score]
The PROMIS fatigue score measures self-reported fatigue symptoms over the past 7 days. Possible raw scores range from 29.4 to 83.2 (higher raw score indicating greater fatigue) and are converted into standardized T-scores (mean=50, standard deviation=10) with higher scores also indicating greater fatigue. Change score is calculated by subtracting baseline T-score from later T-score, with a positive change score indicating increased fatigue.
Measured: Baseline, two years after end of RT. End of RT can vary greatly depending on when it starts, which can be from 0 to 70 days from the start of ADT, and lasting 7-8 weeks.

Number of Participants With Post-baseline Patient-reported Outcomes Version of the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (PRO-CTCAE) Scores ≥ 3
PRO-CTCAE is a patient-reported outcome (PRO) measurement system developed to evaluate symptomatic toxicity in patients on cancer clinical trials, asking the patient about experience over the last seven days. Scores may reflect worst severity of the symptom (0=None, 1=Mild, 2=Moderate, 3=Severe, and 4=Very severe), frequency of the symptom (0=Never, 1=Rarely, 2=Occasionally, 3=Frequently, 4=Almost constantly), or the symptom's interference with one's "usual or daily activities" (0=Not at all, 1=A little bit, 2=Somewhat, 3=Quite a bit, 4=Very much). The symptom row title will indicate "Severity", "Frequency", or "Interference". All scores are compared between arms; statistical analysis results are entered for p-values < 0.05.
Measured: End of RT, one and two years after the end of RT. End of RT can vary greatly depending on when it starts, which can be from 0 to 70 days from the start of ADT, and lasting 7-8 weeks.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Patients with post-prostatectomy PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) recurrences with aggressive disease features will receive salvage radiation therapy and standard androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) or enhanced ADT to determine if there is any improvement in progression-free survival when enhanced ADT is used compared to standard ADT.
Detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
To determine whether, in men with post-prostatectomy PSA (prostate specific antigen) recurrences with aggressive disease features, salvage radiotherapy (SRT) with enhanced androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), consisting of enzalutamide (MDV3100) and a GnRH analog, will improve progression-free survival compared to SRT with standard GnRH analog -based ADT.

Primary outcome
Percentage of Participants Alive Without Progression (Progression-Free Survival)
Time frame: From randomization to first failure or last known follow-up. Median follow-up time at the time of analysis was 33.1 months. The 1- and 2-year estimates are reported.
Progression-free survival (PFS) is estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. PFS time is measured from randomization to the date of first PFS failure (biochemical or clinical failure, initiation of new unplanned anticancer treatment, or death from any cause) or last known follow-up (censored). Analysis was to occur after progression or death was reported for 101 participants. Biochemical failure is defined as first post-RT detectable PSA (PSA ≥ 0.05). Clinical failure is defined as either a local, regional, or distant failure.
16 secondary outcomes
