About this trial

This trial is a prospective, single-arm, multi-center clinical trial designed to assess whether adaptive radiotherapy with urethral sparing for low to intermediate risk localized prostate cancer will translate into a decreased rate of patient reported acute urinary side effects, as measured by the patient reported EPIC-26 questionnaire, compared with the historically reported rate for non-adaptive, non-urethral sparing prostate SBRT.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patient has NCCN low or intermediate risk prostate cancer that is biopsy proven.

Prostate volume is ≤80cc as assessed by MRI prior to radiotherapy.

AUA/IPSS score is ≤ 15.

ECOG performance status is ≤2 (or Karnofsky score is ≥60%).

Disqualifiers

Patient has baseline grade ≥3 GI or GU toxicity

Patient has had prior overlapping pelvic radiotherapy.

Patient has had prior transurethral resection of the prostate, prostate HIFU, or cryoablation.

Patient has node positive prostate cancer.

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Daily adaptive SBRT with urethral sparing

    Device

    The radiation plan for each daily fraction is adapted from the initial plan based on cone beam CT imaging acquired while the participant is laying on the treatment machine.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Patient-reported acute urinary toxicity

Minimum clinically important change (MCIC) status in patient-reported urinary QOL, as determined by the worst change reported by each subject in their EPIC-26 urinary domain scores.

Time frame
90 days after end of SBRT

Secondary outcomes

1

Freedom from biochemical recurrence

Rate of biochemical recurrence free survival, as determined by the Phoenix definition (PSA level of 2 ng/ml or more higher than the lowest post-SBRT value)

Time frame
5 years after end of SBRT
2

Patient-reported quality of life issues related to prostate cancer.

Patient-reported quality of life changes during and after adaptive prostate SBRT treatment using the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite Short Form (EPIC-26) questionnaire.

Time frame
Baseline; during treatment; 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, and 5 years after end of SBRT
3

Patient-reported erectile dysfunction symptoms

Patient-reported erectile dysfunction symptoms before, during and after adaptive prostate SBRT treatment using the Sexual Health Inventory for Men (SHIM) questionnaire.

Time frame
Baseline; during treatment; 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, and 5 years after end of SBRT
4

Patient-reported urinary symptoms

Patient-reported urinary symptoms before, during and after adaptive prostate SBRT treatment using the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) questionnaire.

Time frame
Baseline; during treatment; 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, and 5 years after end of SBRT

Other outcomes

1

Decipher prognostic ability

Correlation of the Decipher risk category (low/intermediate/high) with biochemical recurrence.

Time frame
5 years after end of SBRT
