The treatment

How it is intended to work

This is how the treatment is meant to work. Whether it helps, and how safe it is, is what this trial is testing.

relugolix. An orally available, non-peptide gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH or luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH)) antagonist, with potential antineoplastic activity. Relugolix competitively binds to and blocks the GnRH receptor in the anterior pituitary gland, which both prevents GnRH binding to the GnRH receptor and inhibits the secretion and release of both luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH). In males, the inhibition of LH secretion prevents the release of testosterone from Leydig cells in the testes. Since testosterone is required to sustain prostate growth, reducing testosterone levels may inhibit hormone-dependent prostate cancer cell proliferation. NCI Drug Dictionary

The study

Treatment groups

Randomized · Parallel · masking: None

Cohort A: Arm 1 (Active Comparator)

INDUCTION (Step 1): Participants will receive continuous treatment with relugolix + an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI). After 6-12 months of continuous treatment, participants whose PSA is ≤ 0.2 ng/mL and who have completed step two registration will be randomized to one of two treatment arms: • Cohort A: Arm 1 will continue standard-of-care, continuous treatment with relugolix or androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) + ARPI per clinical investigator.

Cohort A: Arm 2 (Experimental)

INDUCTION (Step 1): Participants will receive continuous treatment with relugolix + an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI). After 6-12 months of continuous treatment, participants whose PSA is ≤ 0.2 ng/mL and who have completed step two registration will be randomized to one of two treatment arms: • Cohort A: Arm 2 will receive intermittent treatment with relugolix + ARPI.

Cohort B (Experimental)

Participants who have achieved PSA ≤ 0.2 ng/mL are eligible and will receive intermittent treatment with relugolix + ARPI.
