About this study

Official title: Prospective Evaluation of CyberKnife® as Monotherapy or Boost Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy for Intermediate or High Risk Localized Prostate Cancer

The primary objective of this study is to document the effectiveness of Cyberknife stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in the treatment of intermediate and high-risk localized prostate cancer defined by biochemical Disease-Free Survival (bDFS), using Phoenix and American Society of Therapeutic Radiation and Oncology (ASTRO) definitions, at 5 years.

During the prostate-specific antigen era, an ever-increasing percentage of men with prostate cancer have presented with clinically localized, potentially curable disease. Although conventional treatment options are potentially curative in selected patients, these treatments also have drawbacks, including the risk of negative long-term quality of life consequences and serious complications.

The CyberKnife® system is a type of radiation machine that uses a special system to precisely focus large doses of x-rays on the tumor. The device is designed to concentrate large doses of radiation onto the tumor so that injury from radiation to the nearby normal tissue will be minimal.

Intermediate risk patients will be treated with either CyberKnife® Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) monotherapy or CyberKnife® SBRT boost followed by Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT). High risk patients will be treated with CyberKnife® SBRT boost followed by IMRT. Treatment will last 4-7 days. Patients will complete the QOL questionnaires before treatment. Questionnaires will also be completed during follow-up visits at 1, 3 , 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 and 36 months then every 12 months until year 5.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this project is to evaluate the efficacy and Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) in intermediate and high-risk prostate cancer patients treated with SBRT as monotherapy or as a boost in combination with IMRT.

What is being measured

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

  1. Biochemical Disease-Free Survival (bDFS), Using Phoenix and ASTRO Definitions

    Phoenix definition: Biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer (PCa) after curative radiotherapy defined as a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) rise of ≥2 ng/ml above the nadir.

    Astro definition: Biochemical failure in prostate cancer defined as three consecutive rises in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) after a nadir.

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Measure the Rates of Acute and Late Grade 3-5 Gastrointestinal and Genitourinary Toxicity

    Acute toxicity is graded based upon Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE). The Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v3.0 is a standardized system used to classify and grade the severity of adverse events (AEs) experienced by cancer patients during treatment, with a grading scale ranging from 1 (mild) to 5 (death).

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite Epic-26

    The 26-item version of EPIC, also known as EPIC Short Form or EPIC-26, contains five symptom domains (urinary incontinence, urinary irritative/obstructive, sexual, bowel, hormonal), scored from 0 (worst) to 100 (best).

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CyberKnife, Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) and Intensity Modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in people with Prostate Adenocarcinoma, run by Wake Forest University Health Sciences 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?

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 3 Oct 2024. 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 1 Oct 2024). 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?

Biochemical Disease-Free Survival (bDFS), Using Phoenix and ASTRO Definitions (time frame: 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 3 Oct 2024.
