About this study
Official title: Prospective Evaluation of CyberKnife Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Low and Intermediate Risk Prostate Cancer: Emulating HDR Brachytherapy Dosimetry
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of CyberKnife radiosurgery in patients with early stage organ-confined prostate cancer and to evaluate the effects of this treatment on the quality of life over time.
Read the detailed description
In this study, CyberKnife radiosurgery will be used to produce dose distributions comparable to those created by High Dose Rate (HDR) brachytherapy treatment, without the use of invasive catheters. The radiosurgery volumes will closely be made to resemble HDR brachytherapy therapeutic volumes with similar dose limitation objectives to adjacent normal tissues.
The CyberKnife Robotic Radiosurgery System is a unique radiosurgical system capable of treating tumors anywhere in the body noninvasively and with sub-millimeter accuracy. The CyberKnife System delivers radiation using a precise targeting methodology allowing a focal treatment margin around the target, thus limiting the volume of adjacent tissue receiving high doses radiation. This in turn allows the delivery of high doses of radiation to the prostate over a short series of treatments.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Risk for Gastrointestinal (GI) and Genitourinary (GU) Toxicity
To estimate the rates of acute and late Grade 3-5 gastrointestinal and genitourinary toxicities (adverse events [AE]) observed in both low-risk and intermediate-risk cohorts during the 5 years following CyberKnife (CK) treatment for prostate cancer. Kaplan Meier estimates for 5-yr and 10-yr are reported.
Adverse events occurring within 3 months of treatment were categorized as acute toxicities, and those developing after 3 months were considered late toxicities.
The rates were determined using the first Grade 3 or higher adverse event per patient, reported as possibly, probably, or definitely related to CK treatment.
The Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 3.0 was used to determine the Grade or severity of adverse events in this study, with Grade 3 being severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening, Grade 4 being life-threatening and Grade 5 being death related to the adverse event.
Measured: Primary Safety Endpoint was measured at 5 years. Sites and patients had the option of continuing follow-up through 10 years.
Biochemical Disease-Free Survival (bDFS)
To determine the rate of biochemical Disease-Free Survival (bDFS), using the Phoenix definition, following CyberKnife treatment. Kaplan Meier survival curves for bDFS were created and the 5-yr and 10-yr percentages are reported.
The Phoenix definition uses a Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) value exceeding the patients lowest PSA value (nadir) + 2 ng/mL as an indicator of disease recurrence. The percentage of patients who did not have such a PSA rise or receive any interventional therapy to treat prostate cancer are reported below.
Measured: Primary Efficacy Endpoint was measured at 5 years. Sites and patients had the option of continuing follow-up through 10 years.
Secondary outcomes (6)
Disease Control and Survival Outcomes
To determine the rates of local failure, distant failure, disease-free survival, disease-specific survival, and overall survival following CyberKnife treatment in prostate cancer patients.
Measured: Secondary outcomes were measured at 5 years. Sites and patients had the option of continuing follow-up through 10 years.
Quality of Life Assessments: American Urological Association (AUA) Symptom Index (SI)
AUA-SI is a 7-item self-report measure used to assess urinary urgency, frequency, and voiding symptoms with scores ranging from 0 (no symptom) to 5 (symptom occurs almost always) Total score: 0-7 mild symptoms; 8-19 moderate symptoms; 20-35 severe symptoms
Measured: AUA questionnaire was completed at Baseline, CK Treatment, and post treatment at: 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and then biannually up to 5 years. Sites and patients had the option of continuing follow-up through 10 years.
Quality of Life Assessments: Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC) -26 Urinary Incontinence
EPIC-26 is a short form version of the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite, and is a validated comprehensive instrument developed to measure the health-related quality of life among men with prostate cancer. EPIC-26 consists of 26 items under 5 domains of urinary incontinence, urinary irritative/obstructive, bowel, sexual, and hormonal.
Answers qualitatively measure patient's bother for each symptom and are then normalized on a scale of 0 (worst) to 100 (best) to calculate domain scores if sufficient input is provided.
Measured: Secondary outcomes were measured at 5 years. Sites and patients had the option of continuing follow-up through 10 years.
Quality of Life Assessments: EPIC-26 Urinary Irritative Obstructive
EPIC-26 is a short form version of the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite, and is a validated comprehensive instrument developed to measure the health-related quality of life among men with prostate cancer.

Measured: Secondary outcomes were measured at 5 years. Sites and patients had the option of continuing follow-up through 10 years.
Quality of Life Assessments: EPIC-26 Bowel
EPIC-26 is a short form version of the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite, and is a validated comprehensive instrument developed to measure the health-related quality of life among men with prostate cancer. EPIC-26 consists of 26 items under 5 domains of urinary incontinence, urinary irritative/obstructive, bowel, sexual, and hormonal.

The record lists 18 sites in United States. 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.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 May 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

What does the primary outcome measure?
Risk for Gastrointestinal (GI) and Genitourinary (GU) Toxicity (time frame: Primary Safety Endpoint was measured at 5 years. Sites and patients had the option of continuing follow-up through 10 years.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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.
