Trial summary

This study will ultimately aim to evaluate the side effects of treatment by asking 20 subjects to receive post-operative radiotherapy for prostate cancer with the treatment plan adapted after the first week of treatment to account for changes in the target shape. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Feasibility Study of Post-operative Adaptive Radiation Therapy for Localized Prostate Cancer

This study will ultimately aim to evaluate the side effects of treatment by asking 20 subjects to receive post-operative radiotherapy for prostate cancer with the treatment plan adapted after the first week of treatment to account for changes in the target shape. These patients will be asked to complete toxicity scores and a quality of life questionnaire at the start and completion of treatment, and at 3 months 1, 2 and 5 years from the start of radiotherapy. These results will be used to determine the feasibility of the proposed approach, and obtain early estimates of improvements in uncertainty margin requirements for this population of patients.

What participants receive

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

  • Post-operative Adaptive Radiation TherapyRadiation

    Also called All Patients enrolled in this study will have additional scans (Cone-Beam CT,MRI) daily during their treatment. This extra imaging will help us see any, changes that might have occurred during radiation treatment and update the treatment plan to include these changes before patient treatment is continued.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in radiation dose delivered to target volumes and normal tissue

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Time for radiotherapy replanning

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Volumetric modulated arc therapy impact in a clinical adaptive Radiotherapy workflow.

    Feasibility will be assessed by the time required to perform the adaptive intervention

    Measured: 5 years

  3. Toxicity associated with the adaptive radiotherapy technique.

    Assessments of gastrointestinal and genitourinary complications using the Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events scoring system and the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite questionnaire.

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Post-operative Adaptive Radiation Therapy in people with Prostate Cancer, run by University Health Network, Toronto at 1 site in Canada.

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 4 inclusion and 8 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 18 Mar 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 Canada. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Change in radiation dose delivered to target volumes and normal tissue (time frame: 5 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 18 Mar 2024.
