What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Pathological complete response (pCR) or minimal residual disease (MRD) rate

    Pathological response, defined as achieving either pCR or MRD at radical prostatectomy (RP). pCR is defined as the absence of morphologically identifiable carcinoma in the RP specimen. MRD will be defined as residual tumor in the RP specimen measuring ≤ 5 mm.

    Time frame: 1 month after prostatectomy as local treatment for primary lesion

Secondary outcomes

  1. Biochemical progression-free survival

    Time frame: Up to 2 years

  2. Metastasis-free survival

    Time frame: Up to 2 years

  3. PSA responses

    Time frame: During the treatment

  4. surgical margins

    Time frame: 1 month after prostatectomy as local treatment for primary lesion

  5. pathological stage

    Time frame: 1 month after prostatectomy as local treatment for primary lesion

  6. radiological responses

    Time frame: 1 week before prostatectomy as local treatment for primary lesion

  7. safety

    Time frame: During the treatment

Other outcomes

  1. Prespecified and exploratory biomarkers

    Time frame: after prostatectomy as local treatment for primary lesion
