Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for Prospective Multicentre Cohort Study PROREPAIR-B (mCRPC)

Study Description

Brief Summary: PROREPAIR is a prospective multicenter observational cohort study of unselected patients with metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC) with unknown germline mutational status at study entry and who are candidates to start 1st line treatment with any approved survival-prolonging agent. The study aims to evaluate the impact of aberrations in DNA-repair genes,(BRCA1, BRCA2, ATM and PALB2 and other genes) on cause-specific survival from the diagnosis of the metastatic castration resistant status and other outcomes.

Detailed Description: This is a non-interventional study in which eligible patients are prospectively followed-up until death or the end-of-study, whichever happens first. Patients are enrolled after mCRPC diagnosis and before or within the 6 first months of starting a first-line treatment with any approved survival-prolonging agent for mCRPC. First and subsequent treatment lines will be chosen according to the patients and their treating physicians preferences and will not be dictated by this study. A whole blood sample for germline DNA extraction as well as any available archival prostate cancer tissue samples will be collected at baseline. Optional plasma, serum and whole blood samples will be collected at baseline and at different time points along the evolution of the disease. A sample will be collected within the last 6 months of life. Survival and treatment outcomes including biochemical, radiological and clinical progression with standard approved agents abiraterone, enzalutamide, docetaxel, cabazitaxel and radium-223 will be prospectively collected. Primary aim is to evaluate the prevalence and impact of DNA repair germline mutations in the BRCA1, BRCA2, ATM and PALB2 genes on cause-specific survival from mCRPC. Secondary aims will include the correlation of additional germline alterations in DNA-repair with survival and treatment outcomes; the analyses of the survival and treatment outcomes impact of somatic alterations in these genes and the role of germline and somatic defects in the clonal evolution of prostate cancer.
