Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of a short course of radiotherapy (40Gy/5 fractions/29 days) for the treatment of high risk prostate cancer currently being managed with primary androgen deprivation therapy (PADT).

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Radiation: Hypofractionated radiation
Phase 1/Phase 2

Detailed Description

Primary Endpoints:
  • Acute gastrointestinal (GI) and genitourinary (GU) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v3.0 toxicities
Secondary Endpoints:
  • Late GI and GU Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) toxicities

  • Biochemical disease-free survival

  • Biopsy positive rate at 3 years

  • Quality of life using the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC) questionnaire

  • Develop a biobank of DNA and serum extracted from blood and urine to analyze and develop new biomarkers for prostate cancer progression or susceptibility to severe toxicity

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Incidence of grade 3+ rectal toxicity [Acute period (up to 3 months)]

      Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v3.0

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Incidence of grade 3+ urinary toxicity [Acute (up to 3 months) and Late (after 6 months of follow-up)]

      Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v3.0

    2. Quality of Life [5 years]

      Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC)

    3. Biochemical (ie.prostate specific antigen) disease free survival [5 years]

    4. Incidence of grade 3+ rectal toxicity [Late (after 6 months of follow-up)]

      Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v3.0

    Eligibility Criteria

    Criteria

    Ages Eligible for Study:
    18 Years and Older
    Sexes Eligible for Study:
    Male
    Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
    No
    Inclusion Criteria:
    • informed consent obtained

    • men > 18 years

    • histologically confirmed prostate adenocarcinoma (centrally reviewed)

    • high risk prostate cancer, defined as at least one of: clinical stage T3, or gleason score 8-10, or PSA > 20ng/mL

    Exclusion Criteria:
    • prior pelvic radiotherapy

    • anticoagulation medication (if unsafe to discontinue for gold seed insertion)

    • diagnosis of bleeding diathesis

    • pelvic girth > 40cm (to ensure visibility of gold seeds on electronic portal imaging)

    • large prostate (> 90cm3) on imaging

    • severe lower urinary tract symptoms (International Prostate Symptom Score >19 or nocturia > 3)

    • No evidence of castrate resistance (defined as PSA < 3ng/mL while testosterone is < 0.7nmol/L). Patients could have been on combined androgen blockade but are excluded if this was started due to PSA progression
