STAMPEDE 2: A randomised controlled platform trial testing treatments in metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer

 

STAMPEDE2 is a clinical trial testing new treatments in men with prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic prostate cancer). It tests these treatments when the cancer is hormone-sensitive, which means that it is at a stage where it is responsive to treatment with hormone therapy.

At this moment, participant recruitment into STAMPEDE2 has not yet commenced. We are diligently preparing for the trial launch in spring 2024 and anticipate opening to recruitment soon thereafter.

It is a separate trial from the previous STAMPEDE trial which initiated 10 comparisons in high-risk, non-metastatic and metastatic prostate cancer between 2005 and 2017. The STAMPEDE trial has now completed recruitment, the final day of patient randomisation being completed on 31st March 2023. For more information about the STAMPEDE trial visit: STAMPEDE Trial Website.

STAMPEDE2 is a set of three randomised controlled trials (called comparisons) testing the addition of three new treatments to standard of care (SoC) treatment:

  • Treatment S: Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiotherapy (SABR): a type of radiotherapy.
  • Treatment P: 177Lu-PSMA-617: a nuclear medicine therapy.
  • Treatment N: Nira-AA+P: an oral drug therapy.

For more information on the above treatments, visit: About STAMPEDE2.

The primary objective of each comparison is to test:

  • Whether efficacy outcomes can be improved by the addition of the research treatments to SoC in men with metastatic prostate cancer and starting long-term androgen deprivation therapy.

The key secondary objectives of each comparison are to test:

  • The toxicity and compliance with the research arms.
  • Whether Quality of Life is altered with the addition of research therapies.
  • Cost and resource use including EQ-5D-5L to calculate the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of comparisons, or the net monetary benefits by arm, as appropriate.

STAMPEDE2 aims to measure the following primary and secondary outcomes:

  • Primary Outcome Measures: Radiographic Progression-Free-Survival (rPFS) and Overall Survival (OS).
  • Secondary Outcome Measures: Failure-Free Survival (FFS), Prostate cancer specific survival (PCSS), safety, toxicity, compliance, cost and resources.

STAMPEDE2 is sponsored by University College London and is funded by Cancer Research UK for Comparison S, Novartis/ADACAP for Comparison P, and Janssen Pharmaceutica NV for Comparison N. The MRC CTU receives core funding provided by the UKRI MRC. Please visit our Collaborators and Funders page to find out more about trial funding.
