1. TROG 03.06 - TOAD

 

A collaborative randomised phase III trial:  The timing of intervention with androgen deprivation in prostate cancer patients with a rising PSA 

 

Sponsor: Trans Tasman Radiation Oncology Group [TROG]           Phase 3

 

TOAD study aims to determine if early intervention with androgen deprivation therapy in prostate cancer patients suffering a PSA relapse (Study 1), or considered unsuitable for curative treatment (Study 2), improves overall survival while maintaining an acceptable quality of life, when compared to delayed intervention. 

  

Study drugs: Leuprorelin acetate or Goserelin acetate 

  

Participating Radiation Oncology Network Sites:

Nepean Cancer Care Centre

Westmead Cancer Care Centre

 

Eligibility criteria:

A Randomized Trial of a Shorter Radiation Fractionation Schedule for the Treatment of Localized Prostate Cancer

 

Sponsor: Trans Tasman Radiation Oncology Group [TROG]           Phase 3

 

This trial is designed to determine whether an 8-week course of escalated dose conformal radiation can be compressed safely, and with similar efficacy into a 4-week course.

3. TROG 08.03 RAVES

 

Radiotherapy - Adjuvant Versus Early Salvage. A Phase III Multi-Centre Randomised Trial Comparing Adjuvant Radiotherapy (RT) With Early Salvage RT in Patients With Positive Margins or Extraprostatic Disease Following Radical Prostatectomy.

 

Sponsor: Trans Tasman Radiation Oncology Group [TROG]           Phase 3

 

Radical prostatectomy (RP) is the most common curative approach offered to men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer. Unfortunately, up to half of these patients will have factors placing them at high risk of their cancer recurring. Having radiotherapy after RP is known to improve cure rates, but what is not known is whether it should be given straight after the operation or only when there is a rising PSA after surgery indicating active cancer. Immediate RT may not benefit all men, and can cause serious side effects such as bladder and bowel problems and impotence. International lack of consensus on the optimal timing of RT has resulted in varied clinical practice. This phase 3 trial will compare the two approaches.

Prevention of metabolic syndrome induced by LHRH agonists

1. JUST BEFORE STARTING HORMONE THERAPY - MVENT

Metformin in preventing Androgen Deprivation Therapy-induced Insulin Resistance and Metabolic Syndrome

Sponsor: Westmead Medical Oncology         Phase 2

Any patient due to commence LHRH agonist for 6 months or more.

Study drug: LHRHagnoists (eg zoldex, lucrin) are associated with metabolic syndrome with an increased risk of diabetes and cardiac death.  This is thought to be mediated through the development of insulin resistance. In this study, metformin will be used to test whether the metabolic syndrome can be abrogated. Metformin inhibits AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK).  This indirectly inhibits the m-TOR pathway and reduces gluconeogenesis. Increasingly, metformin has been found to have anti-cancer effects, probably by this inhibition of mTOR.
