About this trial
The RO-PIP trial aims to determine the feasibility of recruitment to a trial randomising patients to salvage ultra-hypofractionated external beam radiotherapy or high dose rate brachytherapy and provide prospective data on patient recorded toxicity outcomes that will inform a future phase III trial.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Male individuals aged over 18 years
Histologically confirmed locally recurrent prostate cancer (following previous radiotherapy no less than 2 years ago)
No metastatic disease
Able and willing to provide an informed consent to participate
Disqualifiers
Patients who are unfit for a general anaesthetic due to other comorbidities
Clinical or radiological evidence of metastatic prostate disease
Any patient with a medical or psychiatric condition that impairs their ability to give informed consent
Contraindication or intolerance of magnetic resonance scanning

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Treatment Feasibility
Recruitment rates for the whole 24-month recruitment period will be reported overall and per recruiting site. The average recruitment rate per month and in total over the formal monitoring period will be reported.
Secondary outcomes
Patient Reported Toxicity
Incidence of patient reported acute (0-3 months) and long-term toxicity (\>3 months) and impact on QoL determined by EPIC-26 (prostate cancer related QoL and functional outcomes), EORTC QLQ-C30 (general QoL score) and international prostate symptom score (IPSS) (urinary and sexual functional outcomes) measurements (Key secondary endpoint).
Clinician Reported Toxicity
Incidence of clinician-reported treatment toxicity as per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0.
Other outcomes
Imaging biomarkers
MRI biomarkers at 1 month and 1 year post-treatment predictive of toxicity based on PROMs.
Imaging Reproducibility
Multiple measures of image quality and reproducibility of prostate functional imaging (e.g. diffusion coefficient values from IVIM sequences) for measuring tumour biology will be summarised.
Hypoxia Gene Signature
Hypoxia levels based on a hypoxia associated gene signature obtained from the pre-salvage RT biopsy correlated with MRI biomarkers.
Proteomic Biomarkers
Changes in the levels of inflammatory cytokine signatures from urine and blood obtained at baseline and after reirradiation in relation to PROMs.
