Hypofractionated SBRT For Prostate Cancer

April 4, 2024 updated by: Adam Olson

Prospective Evaluation Of Hypofractionated Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy For Low And Intermediate Risk Prostate Cancer

The purpose of this study is to determine, in both low-risk and intermediate-risk cohorts, the rates of acute and late grade 3 or higher gastrointestinal and genitourinary toxicity observed during a 24 month follow up and to estimate the rate of biochemical Disease-Free Survival, Phoenix and American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology definitions, at 2 years following hypofractionated stereotactic body radiation therapy for low and intermediate risk prostate cancer.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Radiosurgery should be ideal for treating prostate cancer because:

  • targeting accuracy for static targets is excellent, with an error of about 1mm,
  • it can adjust for intra-fractional organ motion, reducing the volume of the target PTV and therefore the dose to surrounding organs,
  • by using over one-hundred non-conplanar beams, the dose gradient between the prostate and surrounding tissues may be superior to that achieved with conventional linear accelerators,
  • the radiobiology of prostate cancer may favor large dose per fractions.

Study Type

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Biochemical Disease-Free Survival Rate (bDFS)
Time Frame: Up to 5 years
Biochemical Disease-Free Survival (bDFS) as defined by Phoenix and ASTRO. Biochemical progression-free survival events were defined as PSA of ≥ 0.4 ng/mL following postoperative radiotherapy, PSA > 2.0 ng/mL at any time, clinical progression, initiation of non-protocol hormone therapy, and death from any cause.
Up to 5 years
Rate of Acute Grade 3 or Higher GI and GU Toxicities
Time Frame: Up to 90 days
Number of patients experiencing acute grade 3 or higher GI and GU toxicities. Acute toxicities are those occurring within 90 days of start of treatment, assessed using the NCI Common Toxicity Criteria (CTCAE) version 3.0.
Up to 90 days
Rate of Late Grade 3 or Higher GI and GU Toxicities
Time Frame: After 90 days post-treatment, up to 5 years per patient
Number of patients experiencing late grade 3 or higher GI and GU toxicities. Late toxicities are those occurring after 90 days post start of treatment, assessed using the NCI Common Toxicity Criteria (CTCAE) version 3.0.
After 90 days post-treatment, up to 5 years per patient

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Rate of Local Failure
Time Frame: Up to 5 years
Proportion of patients with 'local failure', which is defined as clinical evidence local recurrence. Clinical failure includes a palpable abnormality that has increased in size, failure of regression of a palpable abnormality, or redevelopment of a prostate abnormality after complete response, further confirmed by prostate biopsy.
Up to 5 years
Rate of Distant Failure
Time Frame: Up to 5 years
Proportion of patients with 'distant failure' (includes regional failure) which is defined as documented clinically via bone scan, CT or other imaging study that shows metastatic disease (disease located distant from the prostate area).
Up to 5 years
5-year Overall Survival (OS)
Time Frame: At 5 years
Percentage of patients that remained alive 5 years after start of study treatment. Deaths were from any cause.
At 5 years
Quality of Life (QoL) - FACT-G - Prior to Therapy
Time Frame: Prior to start of therapy
The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy- General (FACT-G) is a self-administered 27-item questionnaire designed to measure four domains of HRQOL in cancer patients. It is comprised of physical (PWB), social (SWB), emotional (EWB), and functional (FWB) well-being subscales: (PWB; 7-items, score range 0-28), (SWB; 7-items, score range 0-28), (EWB; 6-items, score range 0-24), (FWB; 7-items, score range 0-28). The FACT-G generates an overall score of 0-108). All questions in the FACT-G use a 5-point rating scale (0 = Not at all; 1 = A little bit; 2 = Somewhat; 3 = Quite a bit; and 4 = Very much) and asks information regarding the patients last 7 days.
