About this study

Official title: A Prospective Multi-center Study to Compare the QOL and Efficacy of External Beam Radiation Therapy or Cryoablation Therapy for Stage III Prostate Cancer

This trial is going to evaluate tumor control and quality of life in patients with prostate cancer treated with radiotherapy or cryoablation.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To determine the tumor control in patients with prostate cancer treated with radiotherapy or cryoablation
  • To determine the quality of life of these patients. OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to Gleason score (≥ 8 vs 7 vs ≤ 6), persistent prostatic specific antigen (PSA) at allocation (> 0.5 ng/mL vs ≤ 0.5 ng/mL), participating center. Patient are allocated to two treatment arms.
Being tested
Cryoablation therapy, External beam radiation therapy, bicalutamide, luteinizing-hormone releasing-hormone (LHRH) agonist
Medical subject headings
Prostatic Neoplasms

Study groups in NCT02605226
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Arm IExperimentalPatients receive oral bicalutamide once daily on days 1-28. Patients also receive luteinizing-hormone releasing-hormone (LHRH) agonist treatment intramuscularly (IM) on day 8. Treatment with LHRH agonist repeats every 12 weeks for 24 weeks. Patients receive cryoablation therapy.
Receives: Procedure: Cryoablation therapy; Drug: bicalutamide; Drug: luteinizing-hormone releasing-hormone (LHRH) agonist
Arm IIExperimentalPatients receive androgen ablation as in arm I. Patients receive external beam radiation therapy.
Receives: Radiation: External beam radiation therapy; Drug: bicalutamide; Drug: luteinizing-hormone releasing-hormone (LHRH) agonist

What is being measured

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

  1. Median PSA progression-free survival in patients responding to the study treatments

    Measured: Within 12 months after treatment

  2. Quality of Life impact of treatments' side effects measured by change in EORTC QOL-C30 from baseline to 3, 6 and 12 months after treatment

    European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer(EORTC)

    Measured: 3, 6 and 12 months after treatment

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Overall survival

    Measured: 5 year

  2. Disease Specific Survival

    Measured: 5 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cryoablation therapy, External beam radiation therapy and bicalutamide in people with Stage III Prostate Cancer, run by Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 5 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 12 Jun 2017. 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 China. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Zhi Guo, PhD (02223340123 ext. 1095, cjr.guozhi@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Median PSA progression-free survival in patients responding to the study treatments (time frame: Within 12 months after treatment). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 12 Jun 2017.
