Overview
Previous study findings suggest that the efficacy limitations of the neoadjuvant treatment regimen combining docetaxel with androgen deprivation therapy are associated with protein synthesis. Homoharringtonine (HHT) is currently the only small-molecule translation elongation inhibitor approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Building on this foundation, we plan to conduct a prospective interventional study aimed at validating whether the intensified quadruple regimen, formed by adding darolutamide and homoharringtonine (HHT) to the standard regimen, can further significantly enhance the depth of pathological response and improve patient outcomes through multi-mechanism synergy.
Interventions
- Drug Docetaxel+ Darolutamide + Homoharringtonine+ Androgen Deprivation Therapy
\*\*Docetaxel:\*\* 75 mg/m², intravenous infusion, once every 3 weeks (administered in weeks 1, 4, and 7), for a total of 3 cycles. To prevent allergic reactions and fluid retention, oral dexamethasone 8 mg is administered twice daily on the day before, the day of, and the day after docetaxel infusion. \*\*Darolutamide:\*\* 600 mg, orally, twice daily, starting from day 1 of treatment and continued until 1 week before surgery. To be taken with food. \*\*Homoharringtonine:\*\* 1 mg of homoharr
Primary outcome measures

- iochemical Progression-Free Survival (bPFS) after Radical Prostatectomy [Time frame: 1 month after surgery]
Secondary outcome measures (5)
- Pathological response after radical prostatectomy [Time frame: 1 month after surgery]
- TNM stage [Time frame: 1 month after surgery]
- Other PFS [Time frame: 1 month after surgery]
- Safety indicator: CTCAE 5.0 adverse event grading [Time frame: 1 month after surgery]
- Quality of life score: EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire [Time frame: 1 month after surgery]
