About this study

Official title: Longitudinal Study for the Evaluation of Safety and Efficacy Parameters in Prostate Cancer Patients Treated at IU Health Proton Therapy Center (IUHPTC)

To prospectively collect data from patients treated with proton therapy for prostate cancer using the IUHPTC technique for the evaluation of toxicity and efficacy of this treatment technique.

Read the detailed description

The major purpose of this study is to analyze side effects experienced and self-reported by prostate cancer patients undergoing proton radiation therapy at IUHPTC. With the information collected, the investigators will establish pre-existing conditions before proton treatment and measure side effects after treatments that are not related to the pre-existing conditions. Also, to compare long-term side effects for patients who are treated with hormone suppression therapy along with their proton therapy to those patients who do not get treated with hormone suppression therapy. This information will help doctors better understand the side effects experienced and may help provide valuable information for future patients making decisions regarding their treatment options.

Finally, to develop a database of information regarding the treatment and outcomes for patients with prostate cancer in order to improve care of patients with this type of cancer.

What is being measured

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

  1. To prospectively collect a composite of toxicity events on patients who treated with proton therapy for prostate cancer using the IUHPTC technique for the evaluation of toxicity and efficacy of this treatment technique.

    A collection of toxicity events of proton therapy, evaluate the long-term side effects of hormone suppression vs. non-hormone suppression and documents the clinical benefits this therapy in regards to urinary, sexual and gastrointestinal issues.

    To do this the investigators will use the following standard of care data collection forms that include; the International Index of Erectile Function (Attachment 1), the American Urological Association Symptom Index (Attachment 2) and the Radiation Therapy Initial Nursing Assessment (Attachment 3), The prostate preexisting conditions review (attachment 4) and the prostate side effects review (attachment 5). Other clinical data such us demographics, vitals, previous treatments, PSA(prostate specific antigen/Hormone results, follow up data, as described in the protocol schedule of events, will be collected as per routine standard of care.

    Measured: 12 months

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Apr 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 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.

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?

To prospectively collect a composite of toxicity events on patients who treated with proton therapy for prostate cancer using the IUHPTC technique for the evaluation of toxicity and efficacy of this treatment technique. (time frame: 12 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?
