FOcal Radiation for Oligometastatic Castration-rEsistant Prostate Cancer (FORCE): A Phase II Randomized Trial

This clinical trial will determine whether the addition of radiotherapy to standard of care
first line systemic therapy improves objective progression-free survival rate (combined
radiographic and clinical) at 18 months, compared to first line systemic therapy alone.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Subjects must have biopsy-confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate

- Patients must discontinue all systemic or experimental therapies for at least 2 weeks
prior to registration with no evidence of a falling PSA (prostate specific antigen)
after washout. LHRH (luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone) analogues must be
continued if they have not undergone orchiectomy.

- Subjects must have progressive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer based
on at least one of the following criteria while having castrate levels (<50 ng/dL) of
testosterone:

- A) PSA progression defined as a 25% increase over baseline value with an increase in
the absolute value of at least 2.0 ng/mL that is confirmed by another PSA level with a
minimum of a 1-week interval.

- B) Progression of bidimensionally measurable soft tissue or nodal metastasis by CT
scan or MRI based on RECIST criteria

- C) Progression of bone disease on bone scan as defined by two new lesions arising

- Subjects must have oligometastatic prostate cancer, defined as between 1 and ≤5
treatment sites that can be treated within a radiotherapy treatment field.

- Subjects must be medically fit to undergo radiotherapy and first line systemic therapy
as determined by the treating physician.

- Age ≥ 18

- ECOG ≤ 2 (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group scoring system used to quantify general
well-being and activities of daily life; scores range from 0 to 5 where 0 represents
perfect health and 5 represents death)

- No prior invasive malignancy in the past 3-years unless disease free for a minimum of
2 years. Exceptions include non-melanomatous skin cancer and in situ cancers of the
bladder or head and neck are permissible.

- Subjects must freely sign informed consent to enroll in the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Planned first line systemic therapy with Radium-223 dichloride or sipuleucel-T

- Life expectancy estimate of <3 months

- Presence of known parenchymal brain metastasis

- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness

- Inability to undergo radiotherapy, systemic treatment, CTs or bone scans

- Biopsy proven pure small cell or neuroendocrine prostate cancer
