International Registry for Men With Advanced Prostate Cancer (IRONMAN)

About This Trial

This study is creating a worldwide health registry to learn which treatments work best for advanced prostate cancer and how to improve patients' quality of life.
It is open to men aged 21 and older who have advanced prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.
Rather than testing a new medication, researchers will simply follow the normal care you receive from your doctor for at least five years.
If you participate, you will be asked to complete surveys about your health and well-being every three months and provide occasional blood samples when your treatment changes.

More Information

Our intent is to establish the International Registry to Improve Outcomes in Men with Advanced Prostate Cancer (IRONMAN) as a prospective, international cohort of minimum 5,000 men with advanced cancer, including men with mHSPC and M0/M1 CRPC.
The goal is to establish a population-based registry and recruit patients across academic and community practices from Australia, Barbados, Brazil, Canada, Ireland, Jamaica, Kenya, Nigeria, Norway, Spain, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom (UK), and the United States (US).
Target accrual number and number of participating sites are subject to change based on accrual, funding, and interest in participation by other international sites.
This cohort study will facilitate a better understanding of the variation in care and treatment of advanced prostate cancer across countries and across academia and community based practices.
Detailed data will be collected from patients at study enrollment and then during follow-up, for a minimum of five years.
Patients will be followed prospectively for overall survival, clinically significant adverse events, comorbidities, changes in cancer treatments, and PROMs.
PROMs questionnaires will be collected at enrollment and every three months thereafter.
Physician Questionnaires will be collected from all participating sites at patient enrollment, time of first change in treatment and/or one year follow-up, at each subsequent change of treatment, and discontinuation of treatment.
As such, this registry will help identify the treatment sequences or combinations that optimize overall survival and PROMs for men with mHSPC and M0/M1 CRPC.
By collecting blood at enrollment, time of first change in treatment and/or one year follow-up (plasma, cell free DNA, buffy coat / RNA), this registry will further identify and validate molecular phenotypes of disease that predict response and resistance to specific therapeutics.
Additionally, every effort will be made to collect blood specimen at each subsequent change in treatment due to progression of disease.
When feasible, existing tumor tissue may be collected for correlation with described blood based studies.
All samples will be used for future research.
This cohort study will provide the research community with a unique biorepository to identify biomarkers of treatment response and resistance.
