ProBio is the first outcome-adaptive platform trial in prostate cancer utilizing a Bayesian framework to evaluate efficacy within predefined biomarker signatures across systemic treatments. Prospective circulating tumor DNA and germline DNA analysis was performed in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer before randomization to androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (ARPIs), taxanes or a physician's choice control arm. The primary endpoint was the time to no longer clinically benefitting (NLCB).

Objective: To investigate the effect of a dietary supplement containing fermented soy on PSA, IPSS, changes in prostate volume and prostate cancer (PCa) development after a 6-month challenge in men at increased risk of PCa and negative previous biopsies. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients with an elevated risk of PCa, defined by either 1 of the following criteria: PSA >3 ng/mL, suspect lesion at digital rectal examination (DRE), suspect lesion at transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and previous negative prostate biopsies (at least 8 cores) within 12 months before inclusion. Statistical analysis was carried out using a non-parametric 1-sided paired Wilcoxon rank sum test, chi-square test, and Fisher's exact test.
