Trial summary

The majority of all new prostate cancer cases are diagnosed in men aged > 70 years, with the highest incidence in men aged > 90 years. Management options for localized prostate cancer include active surveillance in patients with low-risk disease, radical prostatectomy or external beam radiation therapy. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Clinical Study to Evaluate Hypofractionated Radiotherapy in Prostate Cancer Patients Aged 75 Years or Older.

The majority of all new prostate cancer cases are diagnosed in men aged > 70 years, with the highest incidence in men aged > 90 years. Management options for localized prostate cancer include active surveillance in patients with low-risk disease, radical prostatectomy or external beam radiation therapy.

In previous studies, hypofractionated prostate cancer irradiation regimens have been shown to represent a highly effective treatment option for prostate cancer. However, patients aged 75 years or older were underrepresented in most trials resulting in the lack of a robust evidence base.

The proposed study will evaluate radiation-induced toxicity as well as outcome after hypofractionated external beam radiotherapy in prostate cancer patients aged 75 years or older.

What is being measured

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

  1. Acute radiation - induced toxicity

    Toxicity score using Common Terminology for Adverse Events (CTCAE)

    Measured: Measurement at the last 1 day of radiotherapy

  2. Acute radiation - induced toxicity

    Toxicity score using Common Terminology for Adverse Events (CTCAE)

    Measured: Measurement 3 months after completion of radiotherapy

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Overall survival

    Analysis of survival

    Measured: At 1, 2, 3 , 4, 5 years after completion of radiotherapy

  2. Recurrence (biochemical)

    Assessed by measurement of prostate specific antigen (PSA)

    Measured: At 1, 2, 3 , 4, 5 years after completion of radiotherapy

  3. Recurrence (local)

    Assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (optional)

    Measured: At 1, 2, 3 , 4, 5 years after completion of radiotherapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hypofractionated radiotherapy in people with Prostate Cancer and Radiotherapy Side Effect, run by Medical University of Graz at 1 site in Austria.

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 5 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Oct 2022. 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 Austria. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Treatment standard has changed.). 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?

Acute radiation - induced toxicity (time frame: Measurement at the last 1 day of radiotherapy). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04535908, 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 3 Oct 2022.
