About this trial
This is a phase II randomized controlled clinical trial to assess the toxicities and clinical efficacy of prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography / computed tomography (PET/CT) and multi- parameter Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) guided simultaneous integrated boost for prostate cancer.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Pathologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of prostate
Stage cT1-3N0M0 localized prostate cancer
performed PSMA PET/CT and mpMRI before treatment
No lymph nodes or distant metastasis
Disqualifiers
No pathologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate
Pelvic lymph node metastasis (N1)
Distant metastasis (M1)
Previous pelvic radiotherapy
Trial design
Parallel
Treatments tested in this trial
carbon ion irradation
RadiationAll patients will receive carbon ion irradiation with 65.6 GyE in 16 fractions to the prostate with or without seminal vesicle
Carbon Ion Irradiation With SIB
RadiationAll patients will receive carbon ion irradiation with 65.6 GyE in 16 fractions to the prostate with or without seminal vesicle, and with simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) to the gross tumor in the PSMA PET/CT and mpMRI
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Acute toxicities
Treatment related acute toxicity assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03
Secondary outcomes
Late toxicities
Treatment related late toxicity assessed by Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) scale
Biochemical failure free survival
The prostate specific antigen less than nadir plus 2ng/ml (Phoenix definition)
Overall survival
The time from diagnosis to death from any cause
Progression free survival
The time from complation of CIRT to tumor progression or death
Other outcomes
The quality of life-International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS)
IPSS would be used to assess the severity of lower urinary tract symptoms, based on the answers to seven questions regarding urinary symptoms (incomplete emptying, frequency, intermittency, urgency, weak stream, straining, and nocturia). Total IPSS score: 1-7: Mild; 8-19: Moderate; 20-35: Severe
The quality of life-Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC)
EPIC would be used to evaluate the urinary, bowel, and sexual symptoms. The EPIC is a patient reported outcomes instrument designed to evaluate bowel, urinary, sexual and hormonal domains both during and after irradiation of the pelvis.For each domain, responses are provided on a 5-point Likert scale, and multi-item scale scores are transformed linearly to a scale of 0 to 100, where higher scores correspond to better quality of life.
