May 12, 2025 updated by: Chia-Lin (Eric) Tseng, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre

Post-Prostatectomy Linac-Based Ultrahypofractionated Radiotherapy for Patients With Localized Prostate Cancer: A Treatment Feasibility and Outcomes Multicenter Study

This phase I study will assess the toxicity profile and efficacy of SBRT (Stereotactic body radiotherapy) in patients with localized prostate cancer who are considered candidates for post-prostatectomy radiation.

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

Radical prostatectomy is a common treatment for localized prostate cancer, patients with a detectable and/or rising PSA after radical prostatectomy may be offered radiation. An increasing number of patients are being referred post-operatively for radiotherapy, which creates an added burden on radiotherapy departments. Therefore, a strategy that could potentially decrease the number of radiotherapy fractions, yet maintain its efficacy, would be highly desirable for patient convenience, cost saving, and resource utilization as long as the toxicity profile is acceptable. This study will be conducted to asses the toxicity and efficacy of Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in post-prostatectomy patients.

Enrollment (Estimated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

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

  • A detectable PSA ≤ 2.0 ng/ml
  • Two consecutive rises in PSA and final PSA > 0.1 ng/ml OR three or more consecutive rises in PSA

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Gross residual disease (per conventional imaging, i.e. CT and/or MRI)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
Experimental: Men with prostate cancer post-prostatectomy
Men with localized prostate cancer who are considered candidates for post-prostatectomy radiation.
Radiation: stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT)
Stereotactic body or external-beam radiation therapy (SBRT) is a method of delivery of radiation in precision manner to the prostate bed in this study. The SBRT dose prescription will be 3000 cGy in 5 fractions to the prostate bed and 2500 cGy in 5 fractions to the pelvic nodes if elective nodal irradiation (ENI) is used, delivered every other business day.

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
Early Adverse Events/toxicities experience by Participants
Time Frame: 6.5 years
Incidence of acute GU and GI toxicities, based on Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0
6.5 years

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

Biochemical disease-free survival
Time Frame: 6.5 years
Biochemical disease-free survival (bDFS), defined as survival until first evidence of either biochemical progression (PSA of 0.4 ng/mL or greater) following postoperative radiotherapy, PSA of more than 2.0 ng/mL at any time after postoperative radiotherapy, clinical or radiological progression, initiation of non-protocol hormone therapy, or death from prostate cancer
