Safety and Efficacy Study of Hypofractionated Radiotherapy and Androgen Deprivation Therapy for Prostate Cancer (pHART8)

November 23, 2020 updated by: Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre

Phase II Study of Dose-escalated, Hypofractionated Radiotherapy and Androgen Deprivation Therapy for High-Risk Prostate Cancer

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).

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

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

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Male

Description

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
