The trial’s own eligibility text, word for word from the registry. Only the trial site can say who takes part.
Inclusion
- +Histologic confirmation of prostate adenocarcinoma.
- +Documentation of metastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancer.
- +Patient being treated with abiraterone.
- +Evidence of oligoprogression (according to RECIST \[V1.1\] and/or Prostate Cancer Working Group criteria \[PCWG3\], as applicable), applying any of the following: (i) ≤ 5 metastatic lesions progressing on conventional imaging (≤ 3 progressing metastases in any one organ system) while all other metastases are controlled or responding; (ii) PSA progression only, but in the setting of oligometastases (≤ 5 metastatic lesions seen on imaging, with ≤ 3 metastases in any one organ system); in this setting, all metastases will be irradiated.
- +All metastases of interest amenable to SABR.
- +ECOG performance status 0-1.
Exclusion
- −Evidence of spinal cord compression.
- −Prior malignancy within the past 5 years, excluding non-melanoma skin cancer, and in-situ cancer.
- −Patients presenting with unequivocal clinical progression, defined as one of the following: (i) cancer pain requiring the initiation of opioid therapy; (ii) immediate need for cytotoxic chemotherapy as per treating physician's discretion; or (iii) deterioration of performance status to grade ≥ 3 according to ECOG.

About This Trial
There is increasing worldwide interest in exploring stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) for treating metastases in men with prostate cancer, including for the treatment of oligoprogressive metastases. The latter applies to a situation whereby patients with widespread metastases undergoing systemic therapy present with a solitary or a few metastatic tumors that progress, while all other metastases are stable or responding. The usual practice would be to change systemic therapy at this point, but another approach is to locally ablate the "rogue" metastases and continue the same systemic therapy. SABR used in this scenario may delay the need to switch to another line of systemic therapy and improve progression-free survival while patients stay on the same systemic therapy.
