About this study

Official title: RAD 1203: Pilot Trial Evaluating Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy With Integrated Boost for Clinically Localized Prostate Cancer

This study will investigate the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of giving a higher dose to the part of the prostate which contains the cancer while giving a standard radiation dose to the entire prostate. The investigators have hypothesized that this treatment technique will effectively control the prostate cancer while minimizing the side effects.

Read the detailed description

Objectives:

Primary

-Clinically assess the early toxicity of SBRT with integrated boost for clinically localized prostate cancer

Secondary

  • Determine the technical feasibility of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) with integrated boost for clinically localized prostate cancer
  • Determine the treatment planning and dosimetric feasibility
  • Evaluate the treatment delivery quality assurance
  • Clinically assess early efficacy, late toxicity, and quality of life for patients receiving SBRT with integrated boost for clinically localized prostate cancer

Patients will undergo 5 total radiation treatments over 7-17 day period.

Patients will be asked to complete American Urological Association Symptom Index (AUA SI), Sexual Health Inventory of Men (SHIM), and the Expanded Prostate Index Composite (EPIC)questionnaires. The EPIC assesses bowel, urinary, and sexual function. These questionnaires will be completed at the following time points: Baseline, AUA SI will be collected on the last day of treatment, and every 3 months for the first year following the start of radiation, then every 6 months for year 2.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed-up every 3 months for the first year, then every 6 months for year 2.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Patients Who Experienced Early Toxicity of SBRT With Integrated Boost for Localized Prostate Cancer

    Early toxicity (defined as events occurring within 90 days of therapy) will be assessed by physician history and physical exams and patient toxicity/quality-of-life questionnaires to be administered at regular intervals.

    Measured: Within 3 months of the completion of radiation therapy

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Treatment Planning Feasibility

    Feasibility will be defined as the ability of the treatment planner to create a plan that meets the following criteria:

    • 100% of radiation target prescription (36.25 Gy) covers greater than or equal to 95% of the target (prostate)
    • At least 95% of the boost prostate (area within the prostate most likely harboring cancer) prescription (38.0 Gy) covers 95% of this boost target volume
    • All normal tissue dose constraints are met -i.e., nearby rectum, bladder, and femoral heads do not exceed the recommended radiation dose limits

    If the physician must utilize a plan that compromises target coverage or normal tissue dose constraints to levels not meeting the criteria above, then the plan will be scored as not meeting technical feasibility requirements.

    Measured: Within 6 months of completion of radiation therapy

  2. Early Efficacy

    Efficacy will be defined as the absence of biochemically detected (via PSA lab testing) prostate cancer or clinically detected prostate cancer at each interval follow-up visit (every three months for year one, then every 6 months for year two after treatment). "Absence of prostate cancer" is defined as no evidence of tumor recurrence by two methods:

    1. No prostate cancer recurrence evident on the physical examination performed by the physician.
    2. No rise in the PSA more than 2 ng/ml above the lowest PSA value ever obtained pre or post treatment. A rise in the PSA more than 2 ng/ml from a patient's lowest value is the standard definition for post-radiation PSA biochemical prostate cancer failure.

    Measured: Within 6 months of completion of radiation therapy

  3. Number of Patients Who Experienced Late Toxicity

    Late toxicity (defined as toxicity occuring >90 days after treatment) will be assessed with regular clinical exams and patient toxicity questionnaires.

    Measured: Within 6 months of completion of radiation therapy

  4. Median Quality of Life Score

    Median of quality of life score will be assessed with regular clinical exams and patient quality of life questionnaires (American Urologic Association Symptom Index score ranges from 0 to 35 with the higher scores indicating more severe, Sexual Health Inventory score ranges from 1 to 25 with 1 being severe and 25 being no signs, Extended Prostate Cancer Index Composite- Bowel, Extended Prostate Cancer Index Composite- Urinary, and Extended Prostate Cancer Index Composite- Sexual scales range from 1 (worst) to 100 (best)).

    Measured: Within 6 months of completion of radiation therapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy with Integrated Boost in people with Prostate Cancer and Prostate Adenocarcinoma, run by John Fiveash, MD 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 7 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 Jan 2023. 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 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 12 Jan 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?

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?

Number of Patients Who Experienced Early Toxicity of SBRT With Integrated Boost for Localized Prostate Cancer (time frame: Within 3 months of the completion of radiation therapy). 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 Jan 2023.
