This trial is testing a new treatment for prostate cancer that has spread. The new treatment is a combination of drugs and radiation, and researchers want to see if it is safe and effective.

See full description
Who is the study for?
Men over 18 with untreated metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, who can consent to treatment and have normal organ function. They must be eligible for SBRT, have an ECOG status of 0 or 1, and agree to use birth control during the study. Exclusions include HIV/HBV/HCV infection, large prostate volume (>80cc), certain allergies, other recent cancers or treatments, uncontrolled conditions like hypertension or infections.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing if adding atezolizumab (an immunotherapy drug) and SBRT to standard treatment with abiraterone acetate (a hormonal therapy), prednisone (a steroid), and Lupron® improves outcomes in men with newly diagnosed metastatic prostate cancer compared to standard treatment alone.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include immune-related reactions affecting organs, fatigue, digestive issues like nausea or diarrhea from prednisone; high blood pressure from abiraterone; infusion reactions from atezolizumab; skin irritation from radiation therapy.

Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Metastatic Prostate CancerExperimental Treatment7 Interventions
Participants will have untreated metastatic (M1a/b/c) hormone-sensitive prostate cancer documented by positive bone scan or metastatic lesion on CT or MRI; untreated is defined as having never received surgical, radiotherapeutic, or systemic therapy for their prostate cancer.Group 1 and 2. The first 20 patients enrolled will be in Group 1 and the remaining patients (and those who are already on a GnRH analog) will be assigned to Group 2. All study participants will receive treatment with atezolizumab, abiraterone acetate, prednisone, GnRH analog, and SBRT, at the same doses.
