About this study

Official title: A Study of Hypofractionated Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) Using Continuous Real-time Evaluation of Prostate Motion

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of using radiation therapy with 5 fractions of radiation to treat prostate cancer with guidance of radiation using the Calypso 4D Treatment System (Calypso).A number of recent studies have used 5 radiation fraction to treat prostate cancer over 2-3 weeks as compared to the typical treatment which would involve 40-42 smaller radiation fractions over 8-9 weeks. This type of radiation using a smaller number of treatments has been called hypofractionated radiation therapy.

The Calypso is a new technique which uses beacons implanted into the prostate which using radio signals are able to localize and track the position of the prostate continuously during radiation therapy. The Calypso system has been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for guidance of radiation therapy during the treatment of prostate cancer and is being utilized all across the United States. However, it has not been tested for hypofractionated radiation therapy.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Radiation TherapyRadiation

    Patients will receive 5 fractions of radiation (you will not receive radiation therapy on two consecutive days). Each fraction size will be 7.4 Gy. The total dose will be 37 Gy. The 5 treatments will be scheduled to be delivered 2 fractions per business week (Monday through Friday). The total duration of treatment will be no shorter than 15 days and no longer than 19 days.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Patients With a Minimally Detected Decline (MDD) in Quality of Life (QOL)

    To evaluate the safety of the proposed hyperfractionation regimen of 5 fractions of radiation to treat prostate cancer with guidance of radiation using the Calypso 4D Treatment System (Calypso, and to compare it to that expected from conventional treatment, which would involve 40-42 smaller radiation fractions over 8-9 weeks.

    Percentage of patients with a MDD in Quality of Life (QOL) surveys for urinary incontinence (UI), urinary obstructive (UO), bowel (BS), and sexual (SS) domains were reviewed at 6 months and 24 months.

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Percentage of Patients With a PSA Nadir of <3.35 ng/ml at 12 Months

    To estimate one year prostate specific antigen (PSA)control of prostate cancer when treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) using continuous real-time evaluation of prostate motion.

    Measured: 1 Year

  2. Relation Between Dose Distribution and Toxicities.

    To look at the relation between dose distribution and toxicities and to determine if reconstructed delivered doses are more predictive of toxicity than planned doses.

    Measured: 5 years

  3. Relation Between Reconstructed Delivered Dose Distributions.

    To determine the relation between reconstructed delivered dose distributions, accounting for prostate translation and rotation, and tumor control probabilities.

    Measured: 5 years

  4. Frequency of Required Interventions.

    To assess the frequency of required interventions (interruptions) based on real-time prostate translations and rotations to verify that the proposed planning target volume(PTV) margins and action level are appropriate and practical. This will be assessed by the percentage of patients with no interventions for any fraction, the percentage of patients with 1-2 fractions interrupted and the percentage of patients with more than two fractions interrupted and the percentage of patients that had an interruption of the beam at least once for all 5 fractions.

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Radiation Therapy in people with Prostate Cancer, run by University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center at 2 sites 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 12 inclusion and 16 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 24 Oct 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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.

What does this phase mean?

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Jun 2016). 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?

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?

Percentage of Patients With a Minimally Detected Decline (MDD) in Quality of Life (QOL) (time frame: 24 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 Oct 2017.
