 Summary: 
 The goal of this clinical trial is to compare systemic therapy combined with
cytoreductive prostatectomy with standard of care (SOC) in de novo poly-metastatic
hormone sensitive prostate cancer (de novo pmHSPC). The main questions it aims to answer
are:
  1. To explore the clinical benefit and safety of systemic therapy combined with
     cytoreductive prostatectomy for patients with de novo pmHSPC.
  2. To explore the characteristics of the subgroup of patients who could benefit more
     from the above treatment.
  3. To explore the relationship between stage efficacy and clinical prognosis.
  4. To explore the correlation between molecular imaging such as PSMA-PET/CT and its
     changes with treatment efficacy.
Participants will undergo systemic therapy combined with cytoreductive prostatectomy.
Researchers will compare systemic therapy combined with cytoreductive prostatectomy with
SOC to see the pros and cons of the two strategies. 
 Detailed description: 
 1. Subject Management
  1. Recruitment of subjects The subjects are recruited from the outpatient clinic of the
     Department of Urology of Renji Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of
     Medicine; the specific time was from the beginning of the recruitment of subjects to
     the end of reaching the target of the recruitment of subjects. If the attending
     physician's initial judgment meets the criteria for NAC, recruitment will be carried
     out after communicating with the patient and his/her family.
  2. Informed consent process After the attending physician (investigator) finds patients
     who initially meet the enrollment criteria of this trial, he/she should give a
     written and verbal explanation to the subjects about the background, nature,
     significance, steps, benefits, risks, compensation, injury compensation, and
     withdrawal of the study, and he/she must obtain an informed consent form signed by
     each subject (or subject's legal representative). The informed consent form is
     dated, and the informed consent form and its copy are kept separately by the
     investigator and the subject.
  3. Checking the enrollment criteria As soon as possible after the preliminary
     identification of subjects, the attending physician and the investigator will check
     the enrollment criteria together, make a formal decision to recruit or not to
     recruit into the group and inform the subjects, and explain the reasons for not
     recruiting into the group in detail and record them.
  4. Examination of medical history and records of combined medications During the
     initial screening and verification of the enrollment criteria, the attending
     physician will obtain the subject's past history, current medical history, personal
     history, as well as comorbid medications, and previous medications. If necessary,
     the history and co-medication records will be declared by the patient
     himself/herself or under the supervision of the attending physician while signing
     the informed consent form.
  5. Assignment of screening number At the time of signing the informed consent, each
     patient is assigned a screening number, the rules for the preparation of the
     screening number are specified separately, and should ensure the principles of
     continuity, traceability and de-specialization.
  6. Assignment of treatment/randomization group numbers Sequence generation: the data
     manager should use SAS statistical software (SAS Institute. Cary, NC, USA) to
     generate the allocation sequence in a stratified block randomization with block
     length set to 4. All subjects were randomly (1:1) assigned to trial and control
     groups. Factors for stratification included tumor stage (M1a/M1b/M1c) and baseline
     alkaline phosphatase level (greater/less than ULN). Randomized assignment sequences
     were performed using sequentially coded sequestration, and interventions should in
     principle be assigned as soon as possible after generation of the randomized
     assignment sequence. Sequences should not be accessed by anyone other than the
     restricted data manager prior to allocation of the intervention.
     Implementation: Generation of the randomized allocation sequence and allocation of
     the intervention by the data manager, and the generation of the sequence and the
     allocation of the intervention should be performed by different managers;
     recruitment of subjects by the attending clinical physician (investigator).
  7. Trial Adherence Management During the course of the trial, patients' adherence to
     the trial will be examined and documented by the supervising physician at each visit
     and as deemed necessary by the investigator. If necessary, subjects may be
     instructed to complete a medication diary, which will be checked by the supervising
     physician and the investigator at each visit. Adherence reports are submitted to the
     Ombudsman for review as deemed necessary.
  2. Intervention Trial group: Systemic therapy plus cytoreductive prostatectomy Control
     group: Standard of care.
  3. Efficacy measurement Efficacy measurements of the specified items and frequencies
     are performed according to the visit requirements, and the efficacy is observed and
     recognized strictly according to the criteria set out in the outcomes, and the
     investigators and evaluators should form an efficacy report and include it in the
     case report form. PET-CT and PSMA-PET/CT examinations were for the exploratory
     purpose of this study, so they could be performed on a voluntary basis at the
     subjects' own expense and with their fully informed consent. The performance or
     failure of the examination and its results should not affect the performance of
     other treatments, nor should it affect the performance of other visits and programs.
In order to ensure the objectivity and comparability of the assessment of outcome
indicators, the grouping information was hidden from the imaging evaluators and
laboratory technicians, and for the scale-based visits, the patient self-assessment was
used as the primary method, supplemented by the evaluation under the guidance of the
professional staff, and the grouping information was hidden from the supervisory staff
when the latter method was used.
  4. Data Management
  1. Data entry The investigator loads the data into the case report form in a timely,
     complete, correct and legible manner based on the subject's original observation
     record. The questionnaire after review and signature by the supervisor should be
     sent to the Clinical Research Data Manager in a timely manner. The entry is done
     using the appropriate database system of two-person dual-machine entry, after which
     the database is compared twice, during which if any problems are found, the
     supervisor is promptly notified and the researcher is asked to make an answer. The
     exchange of all kinds of questions and answers between them should be in the form of
     a questionnaire, which should be kept for reference.
  2. Content and manner of data verification and management When all the case report
     forms have been double-entered and checked for accuracy, a database check report
     will be written by the data manager, which will include study completion (including
     list of dislodged subjects), inclusion/exclusion criteria check, completeness check,
     logical consistency check, outlier data check, time-window check, combined
     medication check, and adverse event check. At the audit meeting, the principal
     investigator, representatives of the sponsor, supervisors, data managers and
     statisticians will make a resolution on the issues raised in the subjects' signing
     of the informed consent form and the database checking report, write an audit
     report, and the database will be locked at the same time.
  3. Data archiving The case report form, after data entry and verification are completed
     as required, will be filed and stored in numbered order and filled with search
     catalogs, etc., for examination. Electronic data files including databases,
     examination procedures, analytical procedures, analytical results, codebooks and
     description documents should be classified and kept with multiple backups on
     different disks or recording media for proper preservation and prevention of damage.
     All original files should be kept for the period within the corresponding
     regulations.
  5. Analysis and statistical methods Before the start and after the end of each phase of
     the trial and the trial, the principal investigator, representatives of the sponsor,
     supervisors, data administrators and statisticians should carry out internal data
     analysis, including the completion of the study (including the list of dislodged
     subjects), analysis of the efficacy of the phase, and analysis of the adverse
     events, etc., and submit the analysis report to the review meeting for
     consideration.
According to the basic principle of Intention-to-Treat (ITT), the analysis of the main
indicators should include all randomized subjects, regardless of whether they completed
the trial or not. Therefore, this study used the full analysis set for analysis; when
choosing the full analysis set for statistical analysis, the missing of the main
indicators should be avoided as much as possible, and when the indicators are indeed
missing, the deletion and the reason for deletion should be indicated in the analysis,
and the mixed-effects model of repeated-measures data should be applied in the
statistical analysis for processing.
Statistical analyses included stage efficacy analyses and summative efficacy analyses.
Stage analysis was conducted after all subjects had completed the induction/chemotherapy
phase and after all subjects in the trial group had completed the topical treatment
phase. Terminal statistical analysis was conducted after all subjects had reached the
primary endpoint of the study or had completed 3 years or had been
discontinued/withdrawn, i.e., had completed the maintenance phase, and the trial had been
completed. Statistical analyses were conducted to determine the relationship between
subjects' achievement of the primary and secondary trial endpoints at each stage, and the
stage-specific changes in each of the visits associated with the trial endpoints, and
their potential impact on factors including, but not limited to, baseline status, receipt
of the intervention, and changes in other visits. Statistical analyses were performed
according to the following specifications:
Statistical descriptions of patients' baseline clinical characteristics; hypothesis
testing for outcomes that manifested as categorical variables and those that manifested
as ordered categorical variables using chi-square, Fisher's exact test, and rank-sum
tests, as necessary; analysis of outcome indicators of a survival nature using
Kaplan-Meier survival analysis; and exploration of the influence of each potentially
influencing factor on the outcome using univariate and multivariate Cox regression. The
impact of potential influences on outcomes was explored using univariate and multivariate
Cox regression.
