About this trial

DESTINATION 2 is a multi-centre randomised trial treating intermediate risk localised prostate cancer with 2 fraction Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT). All radiotherapy will be delivered in two fractions (sessions) on an MR Linac using daily adaptation. Men will either receive uniform dose radiotherapy or de-escalated dose radiotherapy. The primary endpoint is acute GU CTCAE v5 grade 2+ toxicity. It will also look at late toxicity, patient-reported outcome measures and PSA control.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Men aged ≥18 years

Histological confirmation of prostate adenocarcinoma requiring radical radiotherapy

Gleason score 3+3, 3+4 or 4+3 (Grade groups (GG) 1, 2 or 3)

MRI stage T3a or less (as staged by AJCC TNM 2018). MRI must be performed within a year of randomisation

Disqualifiers

Contraindications to MRI (e.g. pacemaker, potentially mobile metal implant, claustrophobia)

Severe GU symptoms that would preclude extreme hypofractionation per the discretion of the treating physician.

IPSS Score > 19

High grade disease (GG3) occult to MRI-defined lesion. As a guide, any pathology for which you would consider surveillance (eg GG1, low volume GG2) is allowed outside of the MRI-defined area.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Acute GU toxicity

To describe the absolute risk and relative risk reduction of acute genitourinary (GU) toxicity (CTCAE v5) when delivering de-escalated two fraction prostate SBRT compared to uniform dose two fraction prostate stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for intermediate risk prostate cancer.

Time frame
12 weeks

Secondary outcomes

1

Acute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0 (CTCAE v5.0) toxicity

To describe the absolute and relative risk of toxicity

Time frame
Baseline, last fraction, week 2, 4 and 12
2

Late Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0 (CTCAE v5.0) toxicity

To describe the absolute and relative risk of toxicity

Time frame
Month 6, 12, 24
3

Feasibility of radiation delivery

Feasibility- estimate percentage of fractions interrupted due to patient discomfort

Time frame
At time of treatment
4

Dosimetry

Dosimetry- estimate the accumulated dose differences between the de-escalated and uniform dose delivery

Time frame
At time of treatment
