About this study

Official title: Moderate Hypofractionated Radiotherapy (62 Gy in 20 Fractions of 3.1 Gy) Versus Stereotactic Radiotherapy (37.5 Gy in 5 Fractions of 7.5 Gy) With Hyaluronic Acid Injection Between the Prostate and the Rectum for Prostate Cancer of Low- to Intermediate Risk; RPAH2

The present randomized, open, multicentric Phase II trial, in parallel groups with two arms of treatment, compares the treatment A, moderate hypofractionated radiotherapy of 62Gy, to treatment B, stereotactic irradiation of 37.5 Gy with hyaluronic acid injection in the space between the prostate and the rectum to preserve the rectal-wall from high doses of irradiation. The study aims to assess the rates of late urinary toxicities of grade ≥ 2 induced by a moderate hypofractionated radiotherapy (62Gy in 20 fractions of 3.1Gy) and by a stereotactic radiotherapy (37.5Gy in 5 fractions of 7.5Gy), and the rectal toxicities after an injection of hyaluronic acid between the rectal wall and the prostate.

Ninety-six patients and 9 centers are included in the protocol.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patients with late urinary toxicities of grade ≥ 2 after moderate hypofractionated radiotherapy (62Gy in 20 fractions of 3.1Gy) and after stereotactic radiotherapy (37.5Gy in 5 fractions of 7.5Gy).

    Late urinary toxicities of grade ≥ 2 assessed using the Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Effects ( CTCAE) v 4.0 classification from 3 months to 3 years.

    Measured: Follow-up at ≥ 3 months after the radiotherapy and up to 3 years.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Survival rates without biological relapse in both arms.

    Survival rates without biological relapse (increase of the PSA (prostate-specific antigen) beyond nadir + 2 ng/ml, using Phoenix definition).

    Measured: 3 years.

  2. Evaluation and comparison of the acute urinary and rectal toxicities in both arms.

    all toxicities will be listed using Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Effects (CTCAE) v4.0.

    Measured: 3 months: evaluation at 3 months.

  3. Evaluation and comparison of the sexual preservation rates in both arms.

    evaluation and comparison of the sexual preservation rates in both arms using International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF).

    Measured: 3 years.

  4. Late rectal toxicities in both arms, for the evaluation of the hyaluronic acid efficacy to preserve the rectal wall in both approaches.

    Late rectal toxicities in both arms, for the evaluation of the hyaluronic acid efficacy to preserve the rectal wall in both approaches, using Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Effects (CTCAE) 4.0.

    Measured: 3 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Moderate hypofractionated radiotherapy and Stereotactic radiotherapy in people with Prostatic Adenocarcinoma, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 7 sites 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 16 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 17 Mar 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites 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.

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?

Number of patients with late urinary toxicities of grade ≥ 2 after moderate hypofractionated radiotherapy (62Gy in 20 fractions of 3.1Gy) and after stereotactic radiotherapy (37.5Gy in 5 fractions of 7.5Gy). (time frame: Follow-up at ≥ 3 months after the radiotherapy and up to 3 years.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02361515, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 17 Mar 2022.
