A Study Testing if Patients With Advanced Prostate Cancer Who Are Responding Well to Combination Treatment Can Safely Reduce Their Medication to a Single Hormone Therapy, Compared to Continuing Their Current Drugs

The goal of this randomized comparative study (a study where participants are placed into groups by chance) is to find out if reducing treatment to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT)-a treatment that lowers testosterone-by itself works just as well as continuing the original combination of drugs. This study involves adult men with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body but still responds to hormone treatments) who have responded very well after 6 to 7 months of their initial two-drug or three-drug treatment. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does reducing treatment to ADT alone work as well as the combination treatment at keeping the cancer from growing on imaging scans after 18 months, also known as radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS)? 2. Does reducing treatment to ADT alone work as well as the combination treatment at preventing a rise in prostate-specific antigen (PSA), known as PSA progression-free survival (PSA-PFS)? Researchers will compare a continuation group, which continues their initial two-drug or three-drug treatment, to a reduced-treatment group, which stops taking the androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI)-a drug that blocks the effects of hormones on cancer cells. Researchers want to see if reducing the treatment safely controls the cancer while lowering drug side effects and financial costs. Participants will: 1. Complete a 6- to 7-month initial period receiving a two-drug or three-drug treatment chosen by their doctor. 2. Have blood tests for PSA and testosterone, and undergo a specialized imaging scan called a prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PSMA PET/CT) scan, to confirm the treatment is working very well before being assigned to a study group. 3. Stop taking the ARPI drug if assigned to the reduced-treatment group, or continue their current medications if assigned to the continuation group. 4. Go to check-up visits every 3 months for the first 24 months to complete physical exams, blood tests, and quality-of-life surveys. 5. Have a PSMA PET/CT scan every 6 months after being put into a group to check if the cancer has grown.

The purpose of this clinical trial is to determine the anti-tumor activity of talazoparib plus enzalutamide as first line treatment for metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) in participants whose disease has progressed on Androgen Receptor Pathway Inhibitor (ARPI). The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does talazoparib plus enzalutamide improve efficacy in metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) compared to enzalutamide alone? * What is the time to disease progression \[radiographic, Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA), clinical\] in participants treated with talazoparib plus enzalutamide after progression on abiraterone? * What medical problems do participants have when receiving talazoparib plus enzalutamide? Researchers will compare the combination of talazoparib and enzalutamide as a first-line treatment for mCRPC to see if the combination improves the PSA response rate and delays progression compared to enzalutamide alone. The safety and tolerability of the combination (talazoparib and enzalutamide) will also be studied

Collection of Blood From Patients With Prostate Cancer

Background: * It is not fully understood why prostate cancer in some men becomes androgen-independent (no longer responds to anti-androgen medication), but genetics likely plays an important role. * Genes contain the hereditary information that is passed down from parents to children. Although everyone has the same set of genes, individuals can have different forms of the same gene. * Differences in genes may explain, at least in part, why some people develop a more aggressive form of prostate cancer than others. Objectives: -To obtain blood samples from patients with prostate cancer to try to identify gene differences associated with progression to the androgen independent state. Eligibility: -All participants participating in NCI prostate cancer protocols. Design: * Participants with prostate cancer are evaluated in the NCI s Medical Oncology Clinic. * Blood samples are collected at the initial visit or at follow-up visits. * DNA (genetic material) and white blood cells are extracted from these samples to be used for genotyping and establishment of cell lines. * Gene variations are correlated with prostate cancer prognosis and prognostic indicators.

Approximately 132 patients will be enrolled. Eligible patients will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion to treatment with enzalutamide 160 mg orally daily or darolutamide 600 mg orally twice daily, in combination with standard LHRH agonist based treatment. Cognitive assessments will be performed using modules from Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) an internationally recognized software for assessing cognitive function and impairment.

Study of PSMA-targeted Therapy and Androgen Receptor Suppression in Low-volume Metastatic ProstatE Cancer: SPARKLE Trial

This phase II trial tests leuprolide acetate alone versus in combination with 177Lu-PSMA-617, with or without abiraterone acetate and prednisone, for the treatment of hormone-sensitive prostate cancer has spread to a limited number of anatomic sites at the time of initial diagnosis (de novo low volume metastasis) or that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Standard of care treatment for prostate cancer usually includes androgen deprivation therapy, with or without abiraterone acetate and prednisone. Leuprolide acetate is a form of androgen deprivation therapy. It blocks the body from making testosterone (a male hormone) and estradiol (a female hormone). It may stop the growth of prostate cancer cells that need testosterone to grow. 177Lu-PSMA-617 is a type of radioconjugate drug. Upon administration, vipivotide tetraxetan targets and binds to prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-expressing tumor cells. Upon binding, PSMA-expressing tumor cells are destroyed by 177Lu through the specific delivery of radiation. PSMA, a tumor-associated antigen and type II transmembrane protein, is overexpressed on prostate tumor cells. Abiraterone acetate is a type of anti-androgen drug. It blocks tissues from making androgens (male hormones), such as testosterone. This may cause the death of cancer cells that need androgens to grow. Prednisone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Giving 177Lu-PSMA-617 in combination with leuprolide acetate, with or without abiraterone acetate and prednisone, may be more effective at treating patients with recurrent or de novo low volume metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer than giving leuprolide acetate alone.

PSMA PET-Staged Comprehensive Progression-Directed Radiotherapy for Limited Progression in Prostate Cancer

PSMA-OLIGO-PRO is a multicenter, ambispective, observational real-world evidence registry of adults with metastatic hormone-sensitive or metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who develop a limited number of progressing metastatic lesions during active systemic therapy and are considered for comprehensive progression-directed radiotherapy (PDRT) in routine clinical care. The registry includes retrospective cases treated before June 26, 2026, and prospective cases enrolled from June 26, 2026, onward. Before the site-specific protocol amendment takes effect, the metastatic-lesion ceiling is 1-5. After the amendment takes effect, prospective candidates with 1-10 qualifying progressing metastatic lesions on baseline PSMA PET/CT or PSMA PET/MRI may be included. Metastatic burden is prespecified as 1-5 lesions, representing classical oligoprogression, or 6-10 lesions, representing exploratory, PSMA PET-defined, limited progression. Intraprostatic and prostate-bed progressing foci are recorded separately from the metastatic count and must also be included in the comprehensive PDRT plan. Otherwise eligible local-only episodes form a separate descriptive stratum. All qualifying metastatic and locally progressing sites must be deemed technically amenable to definitive-intent PDRT before prospective analytic-cohort enrollment. The registry does not assign imaging, systemic therapy, or radiotherapy; these clinical decisions are made independently by the treating team in routine care. A qualifying baseline PSMA PET and documentation of comprehensive treatability are required for inclusion. The primary endpoint is time to next systemic therapy in the continuation-plan treatment-start set. Key secondary outcomes include PDRT initiation and comprehensive implementation, time to widespread or non-PDRT-amenable progression, classical time to polymetastatic progression in the baseline 1-5 cohort, radiographic progression-free survival, lesion-level local control, overall survival, and treatment-related toxicity. The prespecified 1-5 versus 6-10 comparison is restricted to concurrent post-amendment prospective participants and is exploratory.

The names of the study intervention involved in this study is: • Supervised circuit training (aerobic and resistance exercise regimen)

Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) for Management of Fatigue in Prostate Cancer Patients on Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT)

The study is being done to see if a small daily dose of naltrexone (LDN, 3 mg pill) can help reduce tiredness (fatigue) in men with prostate cancer. All men in this study are being treated with hormone therapy (also called androgen deprivation therapy, or ADT). Some may also be taking newer hormone medicines such as apalutamide, daralutamide, enzalutamide, or abiraterone.

AI-Assisted Patient Support in mHSPC

The purpose of this multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled trial is to evaluate whether patient-centered support delivered through a large language model (LLM)-based artificial intelligence (AI) agent reduces anxiety in patients with newly diagnosed metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). Participants access the AI agent through a WeChat Mini Program-based platform. The study will also assess the effects of this intervention on illness perception, sleep quality, and patient satisfaction. Participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the intervention group or the control group. Participants in the intervention group will have access to the AI agent-enabled patient support platform throughout the 4-week study period. Participants in the control group will use the same platform without access to the AI agent during the first 2 weeks and will then receive access to the AI agent for the subsequent 2 weeks. Both groups will receive standard-of-care medical treatment throughout the study. The primary objective is to compare changes from baseline in anxiety at 2 weeks between the two groups. Anxiety will be assessed using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) scale. Secondary outcomes include illness perception, sleep quality, and patient satisfaction. Exploratory outcomes include the change from baseline in the GAD-7 total score at 4 weeks and the accuracy of responses generated by the AI agent to participants' questions.

18F-DCFPyL PSMA- Versus 18F-NaF-PET Imaging for Detection of Metastatic Prostate Cancer

Background: Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in American men. Few options exist to create images of this type of cancer. Researchers think an experimental radiotracer called 18F-DCFPyL could find sites of cancer in the body. Objective: To see if 18F-DCFPyL can identify sites of prostate cancer in people with the disease. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older who have metastatic prostate cancer Design: Participants will be screened with: * Blood tests * Physical exam * Medical history Participants will be assigned to 1 of 2 groups based on their PSA. Participants will have 18F-DCFPyL injected into a vein. About 2 hours later they will have a whole-body Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT). For the scan, they will lie on their back on the scanner table while it takes pictures of the body. This lasts about 50 minutes. On another day, participants will have 18F -NaF injected into a vein. About 1 hour later, they will have a whole-body PET/CT. Participants will be contacted 1 3 days later for follow-up. They may undergo PET/Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) either after having a 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT, or in place of PET/CT imaging. A tube may be placed in the rectum. More coils may be wrapped around the outside of the pelvis. If the 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT is positive participants will be encouraged to undergo a biopsy of one of the tumors. The biopsy will be taken through a needle put through the skin into the tumor. Participants will be followed for 1 year. During this time researchers will collect information about their prostate cancer, such as PSA levels and biopsy results. About 4-6 months after scanning is completed, participants may have a tumor biopsy. The biopsy will be taken through a needle put through the skin into the tumor. ...
