About this study

Official title: A Phase I Dose-Escalation Study of Preoperative Radiation Therapy Followed by Radical Prostatectomy in Patients With High-Risk, Localized Carcinoma of the Prostate

The purpose of the study is to assess the safety of four different doses of radiation therapy followed by to surgery to remove prostate tumor.

Read the detailed description

Patients in Groups 1 and 2 will receive 39.6 Gy and 45 Gy (at 1.8 Gy/fraction), respectively, to the whole pelvis. Patients in Groups 3 and 4 will receive 45 Gy to the whole pelvis, followed by a boost to the prostate and periprostatic tissue, for total doses of 50.4 and 54 Gy, respectively. The patients will then undergo radical prostatectomy between 4-8 weeks after completion of radiation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Radiation Therapy followed by prostatectomy in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Virginia Commonwealth University at 1 site in United States.

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

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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.

What does this 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.

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The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Evaluate number of patients who are able to undergo surgery after preoperative radiation therapy. (time frame: 4 months). 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 24 Apr 2013.
