About this trial
The purpose of this prostate cancer research study is to learn about:
1. Improving control of prostate cancer using radiation therapy, delivered to the para-aortic and pelvic lymph nodes, in addition to systemic androgen suppression therapy; 2. Preserving quality of life after radiation therapy; 3. Leveraging imaging results from prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scans to evaluate and manage disease progression.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Histologically proven prostate adenocarcinoma
Male, ≥ 18 years old
Oligorecurrent disease limited to the sub-diaphragmatic region with or without pelvic lymph nodes
a. No more than a total of 5 lesions on PSMA PET/CT scan (each lesion defined as positive with standardized uptake value (SUV) > liver uptake and CT scan correlate)
Disqualifiers
No pathological diagnosis of prostate adenocarcinoma
Patient has more than 5 sites of metastatic disease
Patient has history of bone and/or visceral metastasis
No evidence of disease in the para-aortic or pelvic lymph nodes
Trial design
Single group
Treatments tested in this trial
Para Aortic Radiation Therapy: Photon Therapy
RadiationParticipants will undergo five weeks of PA-RT daily, for up to 30 minutes per day for 25 days, Monday through Friday, consisting of a total dose of 50 grays (Gys) delivered in 25 fractions to the Clinical Tumor Volume (CTV).
Para Aortic Radiation Therapy: Proton Therapy
RadiationParticipants will undergo five weeks of PA-RT daily, for up to 30 minutes per day for 25 days, Monday through Friday, consisting of a total dose of 60 to 65 Gys delivered in 25 fractions to the Gross Tumor Volume (GTVn).
Androgen Deprivation Therapy
DrugAndrogen deprivation therapy will be administered as per standard of care.
Androgen Receptor Signaling Inhibitor
DrugAndrogen receptor signaling inhibitor (ARSI) will be administered as per standard of care.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Progression-free Survival (PFS)
Progression-free survival (PFS) among participants will be assessed during treatment and clinical follow-up. PFS is defined as the time from start of treatment until any of the following: Biochemical failure, escalation of therapy, radiological evidence of disease progression or death of any cause. Radiological evidence of disease progression will be assessed by the treating physician using the Response Evaluation Criteria in prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT (RECIP) version 1.0.
Secondary outcomes
Biochemical Failure-Free Survival (FFS)
Biochemical failure-free survival among participants will be assessed during treatment and clinical follow-up. Biochemical failure-free survival is defined as the time from study enrollment to time of biochemical failure. Biochemical failure, as adapted from the Prostate Cancer Working Group 2 (PCWG2), is defined as when prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level increases ≥ 25% and ≥ 2 ng/mL above the nadir, which is confirmed by a second value obtained three or more weeks later.
Metastasis-Free Survival
Metastasis-free survival among participants will be assessed during treatment and clinical follow-up. Metastasis-free survival is defined as the time from study enrollment to clinical or radiological evidence of metastatic disease or death.
Overall Survival (OS)
Overall survival (OS) among participants will be assessed. OS is defined as the time from study enrollment to death of any cause.
Median Cause Specific Survival
Median case specific survival among participants will be assessed. Median cause specific survival is defined as the time from study enrollment to death secondary to prostate cancer.
