Combination of TURP and Standard Systemic Therapy for MPCa
Sponsor: Fudan University
Summary
This is a Phase II, open-label, prospective, single-arm clinical study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of combining transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) with standard systemic therapy in patients with metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa). All participants will undergo TURP to relieve urinary obstruction and reduce tumor burden, followed by androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and second-generation anti-androgen agents, such as abiraterone or enzalutamide. The primary outcome is radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS), with secondary outcomes including overall survival (OS), biochemical progression-free survival (bPFS), PSA response rates at 3 and 6 months, and quality of life assessments. The trial will enroll 200 newly diagnosed metastatic prostate cancer patients, with regular follow-up for monitoring disease progression and treatment safety. The study will be conducted at Fudan University Cancer Hospital.

Conditions
Interventions
TURP
Participants will undergo Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP), a surgical procedure performed to relieve symptoms of urinary obstruction caused by the prostate tumor
Standard Medical Therapy
Participants will receive Standard Medical Therapy, which includes ADT, typically with an LHRH agonist or antagonist, to reduce testosterone levels, a key driver of prostate cancer progression. In addition to ADT, participants may be treated with second-generation anti-androgen drugs such as Abiraterone or Enzalutamide. These medications block androgen receptor signaling and further inhibit the cancer\'s ability to grow.
