About this study

Official title: A Phase I-II Prospective Trial of Conformal Hypofractionated Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) for Localized Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate

There are several different treatment schedules being used across the world for treatment of prostate cancer with radiation therapy. In order to determine the best radiation treatment for this disease, a study is being performed by the doctors at the Princess Margaret Hospital. This study will try to measure the effectiveness and side effects of an increased dose of radiation to the prostate that is also given over a shorter number of weeks than is usually done. In order to try to reduce the possible side effects of the radiation therapy the treatment will be given using special techniques to shield as much of your normal body tissues as possible. This method of treatment is called conformal intensity modulated radiation therapy, or IMRT.

  • conformal intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT)Procedure or surgery

Study groups in NCT00188513
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Conformal intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT)ExperimentalAll patients shall receive a continuous course of intensity modulated conformal radiotherapy consisting of 66 Gy in 22 (3 Gy) fractions over 4.5 weeks.
Receives: Procedure: conformal intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To determine feasibility and late toxicity of administering 66 Gy in 22 fractions over 4.5 weeks (using conformal IMRT treatment techniques) to the prostate and adjacent tissues in patients with localized prostate ca

    Measured: at each post treatment follow-up for up to 3 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To evaluate acute toxicity of therapy

    Measured: weekly during RT

  2. To evaluate local control as assessed by prostate biopsy at 2.5 years

    Measured: 2.5 years

  3. To evaluate time to disease progression

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing conformal intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) in people with Prostatic Neoplasms, run by University Health Network, Toronto at 1 site in Canada.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jun 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To determine feasibility and late toxicity of administering 66 Gy in 22 fractions over 4.5 weeks (using conformal IMRT treatment techniques) to the prostate and adjacent tissues in patients with localized prostate ca (time frame: at each post treatment follow-up for up to 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Jun 2018.
