About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Focused Dose Painted I-125 Brachytherapy for Low to Intermediate Risk Prostate Cancer Using Deformable Registration of Multi-parametric MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) to Intra-operative TRUS (Trans Rectal Ultrasound)

Objective:

To focus the high dose radiation to the gross tumor in the prostate while maintaining adequate dose for control of microscopic disease elsewhere in the prostate.

In order to test the incorporation of the robust MRI and TRUS fusion algorithm in the clinical setting the investigators planned a study of Focused therapy with a primary endpoint of accurate localization of the high risk region. This is a pilot study of dose painted permanent I-125 seed implant to verify absence of tumor cells outside a high risk region using multi-parametric MRI and deformable TRUS registration. The high risk region will be dose painted to 160 Gy and the rest of the prostate will receive the normal prescription dose.

Read the detailed description

Primary end-point:

Feasibility of dose painting will be determined by the absence of tumor outside the high-risk region on an intra-operative trans-perineal biopsy.

Frozen sections will not be obtained, however on receipt of the final pathology 2-4 weeks after the procedure 2 possible scenarios arise:

  1. There is no evidence of cancer: this confirms the accuracy of the TRUS MRI registration.
  2. There is evidence of tumor on the stereotactic biopsy: In this case a regular dosimetric check (this is performed in the Standard of care procedure and is known as post-operative dosimetry) will be performed to determine whether adequate dose was delivered. If not, as the involved needle position was recorded in the treatment plan and labeled with co-ordinates, the regular possibility of accurately adding radioactive seeds is possible.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • BrachytherapyProcedure or surgery

    Biopsies will be obtained after intraoperative plan to rule out significant cancer outside a high risk planning target volume

Brachytherapymen eligible for monotherapy seed implant brachytherapy
Receives: Procedure: Brachytherapy

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of patients with a positive biopsy outside the defined High risk Planning Target Volume

    Negative biopsy outside the high risk planning target volume will confirm the accuracy of the MRI TRUS elastic fusion algorithm to locate the tumor

    Measured: Pathological report due one month after brachytherapy implant

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Biochemical failure as determined by Prostate specific antigen greater than nadir+2 ng/ml

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Urinary , Sexual ,Bowel and Vitality function domains

    Expanded Prostate Inventory Composite (EPIC)

    Measured: 6 months and then at years one , two and three

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prostate Cancer, run by Sheba Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

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 12 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 3 Jun 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 Israel. 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 Zvi Symon, MD (97235308175, symonz@sheba.health.gov.il), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of patients with a positive biopsy outside the defined High risk Planning Target Volume (time frame: Pathological report due one month after brachytherapy implant). 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 3 Jun 2016.
