About this study
Official title: Hypofractionated Radiotherapy for Prostate Cancer (62 Gy in 20 Fractions of 3.1 Gy) With Hyaluronic Acid Injection
The present Phase II study aims to assess the rates of late rectal toxicities of grade ≥ 2 after hypofractionated radiotherapy of prostate cancer of 62 Gy in 20 fractions of 3.1 Gy with an injection of hyaluronic acid (HA) in the space between the rectum and the prostate. Thirty-six patients with a low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancer according to the D'Amico classification are included in the present protocol. The main characteristics of the study are that the patients benefit of a reduction of the treatment duration from 40 to 20 fractions, due to the hypofractionated irradiation, and of an injection of 3 to 10 cc of hyaluronic acid in the perirectal fat between the rectum and the prostate.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Hyaluronic acid (Macrolane VRF 30®, Q-MED)Device
One injection of 3 to 10 cc of hyaluronic acid (Macrolane VRF 30®, Q-MED) introduced in the perirectal fat between the rectum and the prostate in connection with an ultrasound.
The injection is performed under local anesthesia (with "Lidocaine") and ultrasound guidance, using a 16 gauge needle.

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

Late rectal toxicities of grade ≥ 2 assessed using the CTCAE v 4.0 classification from 3 months to 3 years.
Measured: Follow-up at 3 months and 6 months after the radiotherapy and then every 6 months up to 3 years.
Secondary outcomes (4)
Number of patients with acute rectal toxicities of all grades and of grade ≥ 2.
Number of patients with acute rectal toxicities of all grades and of grade ≥ 2 (using the CTCAE v 4.0), as a measure of safety and tolerability.
Measured: 3 years
Tolerance of the HA injection
The evaluation of the tolerance of the HA injection, as a measure of safety and tolerability (using the CTCAE v 4.0).
Measured: 3 years
Number of patients with acute and late toxicities, other than the rectal toxicities.
Number of patients with acute and late toxicities (using the CTCAE v 4.0), other than the rectal toxicities, as a measure of safety and tolerability.
Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Hyaluronic acid (Macrolane VRF 30®, Q-MED) in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.
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 7 inclusion and 10 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Oct 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 France. 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.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
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 with late rectal toxicities (> 3 months) of grade ≥ 2 after hypofractionated radiotherapy of prostate cancer of 62 Gy in 20 fractions of 3.1 Gy with an injection of hyaluronic acid (HA) in the space between the rectum and the prostate. (time frame: Follow-up at 3 months and 6 months after the radiotherapy and then every 6 months up to 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 5 Oct 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
