Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Active, not recruiting

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

Patients with a diagnosis of high risk prostate cancer with a Gleason score of 8 or greater are eligible for this trial. The study will enroll 20 subjects in 3 years. This is a single-arm study including two parts. Part 1 will be a modified dose escalation and de-escalation study to determine maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) based on acute toxicity measures. Part 2 will be a cohort expansion study to further evaluate the safety and tolerability of the RP2D based on toxicities measured at 1 year.

For Part 1, the primary endpoint is to assess if a patient can undergo a radical prostatectomy after SBRT without a post-operative GU and/or GI grade 3 or higher toxicity (according to Clavien-Dindo Classification) at 30 days.

For Part 2, the primary endpoint is to assess GU and/or GI grade 3 or higher toxicity based on CTCAE v5.0 at 1 year.

The previously entered quality-of-life measure was removed to align the record with the primary and secondary endpoints as pre-specified in the IRB-approved protocol.

Exploratory objectives will include analysis of tumor and normal biopsied and resected tissue and serum markers and interpretation of interfraction and intrafraction MRIs.

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.

Other: Part 1 - Arm 5 Gy x 5 fractions

Part 1 uses a modified 3+3 dose escalation/de-escalation design with expansion to define the RP2D in a minimum of 3 to a maximum of 9 patients. DLT is defined as Grade ≥3 GI and/or GU toxicity related to preoperative radiotherapy per Clavien-Dindo within 30 days. Three dose levels are evaluated: 5 Gy, 6 Gy, and 6.5 Gy. At each level, 3 patients are treated over five days. If 0/3 experience DLT, escalate. If 1/3 has DLT, expand to 6. If ≤1/6 have DLT, escalate; if ≥2/6, de-escalate and define the prior dose as MTD. The MTD is expanded to 9 patients. If ≤2/9 have DLT, it is the RP2D; if ≥3/9, further de-escalation occurs.
