Stereotactic Pelvic Brachytherapy With HDR Boost for Dose Escalation in High Tier Intermediate and High Risk Prostate ca (SPARE)

January 20, 2020 updated by: Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre

Stereotactic Pelvic Brachytherapy With HDR Boost for Dose Escalation in High Tier Intermediate and High Risk Prostate Cancer (SPARE)

HDR brachytherapy in conjunction with pelvic SABR in high tier intermediate and high risk prostate cancer patients can provide a safe and effective means of radiotherapy dose escalation.

Utilizing multiparametric MRI to focally boost the dominant intraprostatic lesion during HDR brachytherapy is safe and feasible.

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

HDR brachytherapy:

Under general anesthetic, prostate will be implanted transperineally using up to 18 catheters. Three gold seed fudicials will also be implanted transperineally at base, midgland and apex forSABR treatment. Prostate will be contoured as Clinical Target Volume (CTV) on the transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) based ONCENTRA planning system. Rectum and urethra will be contoured as organs at risk. 15Gy will be prescribed to CTV as the MPD (minimal Peripheral Dose).

Treatment Delivery-SABR There will be a 2 week interval between HDR and SABR component to allow for normal tissue recovery and radiotherapy planning time. Daily image guidance will be performed using the implanted fiducials to calculate patient shifts to ensure proper positioning. Post-treatment images will be taken to estimate intrafraction motion.

Androgen Deprivation Therapy Twelve to 18 months of luteinizing-hormone releasing hormone agonists (LHRHa) will be used. Anti-androgen and neoadjuvant LHRHa can be used according to physician discretion

Follow-Up and Toxicity Assessment Time zero will be the start of radiotherapy. Baseline rectal and urinary function will be recorded using common toxicity criteria adverse effect (CTCAE v3.0) and Expanded prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC). CTCAE v3.0 and EPIC assessments will be done at weeks 3, 5 and 12 weeks. Bloodwork (PSA and testosterone), quality of life (EPIC) and late GI and GU toxicity evaluation (using the RTOG/EORTC Late Radiation Morbidity Scheme) will be performed every 6 months for the first 5 years.

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. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Male

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.
