About this study

Considering the promising results with hypofractionated in low and intermediate risk prostate cancer, our proposal is to translate this experience to patients with high risk prostate cancer. Patients with high risk disease would receive hypofractionated RT to the prostate and to the external and internal iliac lymph nodes using IMRT plus long-term hormonal therapy. The objective of the study is to show that long term grade>2 late toxicity is acceptable and similar to published data using hypofractionated technique in the prostate only.

Receives: Radiation: IMRT Technique

What is being measured

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

  1. Toxicity

    Acute and late toxicity following treatment with IMRT to the prostate and pelvic lymphatic chains will be assessed using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 3.0 (http://ctep.cancer.gov) for grading of all adverse events will be used in this study.

    Measured: First 3 months (acute toxicity)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Freedom from biochemical failure, patterns of failure.

    To measure freedom from biochemical failure (PSA measurement) at 5 years.

    Measured: At 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing IMRT Technique in people with High Risk Prostate Cancer, run by Sergio Faria 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 16 inclusion and 4 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 27 Sep 2016. 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?

Toxicity (time frame: First 3 months (acute toxicity)). 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 27 Sep 2016.
