Medical and Economic Evaluation for Intermediate-risk Prostate Cancer (GETUGP05)

September 12, 2016 updated by: Hospices Civils de Lyon

Medical and Economic Evaluation of an External Beam Radiotherapy Combined With a Brachytherapy Boost Compared With an Exclusive External Beam Radiotherapy for Intermediate-risk Prostate Cancer

The aim of the present phase III study is two-folded: 1) to show a superiority of external beam radiotherapy combined with a brachytherapy boost versus exclusive external beam radiotherapy and 2) to evaluate the economic impact of each treatment.

The study includes 33 cancer centres, the inclusion time is of 2 years and the follow-up is of 5 years.

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.

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Male

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • age between 18 and 80 years;
  • life expectancy of greater than 10 years;
  • prostate adenocarcinoma histologically proven;
  • prostate cancer has to be of intermediate-risk based on at least one of the three following criteria: PSA between 10 ng/ml and 20 ng/ml, and/or a Gleason score of 7 and/or a T2B. Karnofsky performance status ≥ 60% and consequently performance status ECOG 0-2.
  • the patient has to be the beneficiary of the social security system (order n° 2006-477 from April 26th 2006);
  • the signed consent form.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • PSA level > 20;
  • Gleason > 7;
  • clinical T3A or T3B or MRI (a simple suspicion/ doubt on the MRI regarding the T3A won't be an exclusion criterion);
  • prostate volume > 60 cc;
  • pelvic lymph nodes involvement at dissection or imaging (ADP > 1.5 cm);
  • concurrent hormone therapy;
  • the presence of distant metastasis (M1);
  • history of abdominal or pelvic irradiation;
  • history of prostate resection in the previous 6 months and/or not allowing the implantation of markers;
  • history of uncontrolled cancer and/or treated since less than 5 years (excepting the basal-cell carcinoma);
  • urinary discomfort with an IPSS (International Prostate Symptom Score) > 15 (without alpha-blocking);
  • inflammatory bowel disorder such as ulcerative colitis or the Crohn's disease;
  • other undergoing study that may interfere with the present study;
  • patient under legal protection measure.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Brachytherapy boost
Brachytherapy boost with external beam radiotherapy. External beam radiotherapy of 46 Gy delivered to the prostate and the first centimeter of the seminal vesicles with a brachytherapy boost (of iodine-125 seeds (110Gy) or high dose rate (14Gy) with iridium-192) only to the prostate. Each center will choose the appropriate brachytherapy technique
Bras A: External beam radiotherapy of 46 Gy delivered with a linear accelerator (Varian) to the prostate and the first centimeter of the seminal vesicles with a brachytherapy boost (of iodine-125 seeds from Bard (110Gy) or high dose rate (14Gy) with a iridium-192 source) only to the prostate. Each center will choose the appropriate brachytherapy technique. The number of seeds or needles will depend on the prostate's volume.
Active Comparator: Exclusive external beam irradiation
Exclusive external beam radiotherapy. External beam radiotherapy of 46 Gy delivered to the prostate and the first centimeter of the seminal vesicles with an external beam radiotherapy of 80 Gy to the prostate alone.
Bras B: External beam radiotherapy of 46 Gy delivered with photons and a linear accelerator (Varian) to the prostate and the first centimeter of the seminal vesicles with an external beam radiotherapy of 80 Gy to the prostate alone.
