About this study

Patients with metastatic prostate cancer can undergo MRI-guided prostate Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) without significant adverse events, similar to what has been reported for patients with localized prostate cancer. We hypothesize that prostate SBRT will be well-tolerated in metastatic prostate cancer patients, with quality of life outcomes similar to what has been reported in non-metastatic prostate cancer patients.

Read the detailed description

The MRidian ViewRay offers delivery of prostate SBRT with real-time MR guidance, which provides superior soft-tissue differentiation with excellent visualization of the prostate. This ViewRay platform offers the ideal setting for this study, that aims at precisely delivering prostate SBRT with a simultaneous integrated boost (when indicated) to visible nodules.

In this study, we hope to demonstrate the safety and feasibility of using 36.25 Gy in 5 fractions, plus a simultaneous integrated boost (when indicated), in patients with metastatic prostate cancer.

What participants receive

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

  • MR-Guided Prostate SBRTRadiation

    Prostate SBRT has become a standard of care for the treatment of localized prostate cancer. Radiation is delivered to the prostate and seminal vesicles in 5 treatment sessions (fractions). Doses ranging from 35-45 Gy in 5 fractions have demonstrated good outcomes with acceptable toxicity when planning is delivered appropriately.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Number of Subjects With Adverse Events Will be Collected

    Treatment will be deemed safe if there is no more than 3 acute Grade 3 gasterointestinal/genitourinary events within the first 30 days after treatment completion. Adverse events can be unexpected or expected, related to treatment.

    Measured: baseline, 3-6months and at 9-12 months.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change in Quality of Life Questionnaires Will be Assessed.

    Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC) short form questionnaire. The Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC) is a comprehensive instrument designed to evaluate patient function and bother after prostate cancer treatment. There are 5 domains, urinary incontinence, urinary Irritative/Obstructive, Bowel, Sexual function and Hormonal. For each domain, the scores range from 0 to 100, lower scores indicate worse outcomes and higher EPIC scores represent better outcomes. QOL assessments will occur at baseline, 3-6 months, and at 9-12 months.

    Measured: baseline, 3-6months and at 9-12 months.

  2. Change in The International Prostate Symptom Score (I-PSS) Will be Assessed.

    The International Prostate Symptom Score (I-PSS) is based on the answers to seven questions concerning urinary symptoms and one question concerning quality of life. Each question concerning urinary symptoms allows the patient to choose one out of six answers indicatingincreasing severity of the particular symptom. The answers are assigned points from 0 to 5. The total score can therefore range from 0 to 35 (asymptomatic to very symptomatic).

    Mild (symptom score less than of equal to 7) Moderate (symptom score range 8-19) Severe (symptom score range 20-35)

    Measured: baseline, 3-6months and at 9-12 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MR-Guided Prostate SBRT in people with Metastatic Prostate Cancer, run by Weill Medical College of Cornell University at 1 site in United States.

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 3 inclusion and 4 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 6 Feb 2024. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Feb 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Change in Number of Subjects With Adverse Events Will be Collected (time frame: baseline, 3-6months and at 9-12 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Feb 2024.
