About this trial
This is a a randomized phase II/III trial comparing salvage SBRT with standard of care (SOC) regimens for patients with a persistent detectable PSA or biochemical progression during follow-up after radical prostatectomy.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Localized adenocarcinoma (cN0M0) of the prostate treated primarily with radical prostatectomy with definitive intent.
Either persistent PSA after prostatectomy (PSA ≥ 0.1 ng/mL at least 6 weeks after prostatectomy), or biochemical progression (two consecutive rising PSA amounts with a PSA >0.1 ng/mL , or three consecutive PSA rises)
WHO PS 0-1
Age ≥18 years
Disqualifiers
Patients with a pT4 tumor at prostatectomy
Patients with previously pathologically confirmed N1
Patients with macroscopically involved margin at surgery (R2)
Patients with a history of distant metastases
Trial design
Parallel
Treatments tested in this trial
Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT)
Radiation5 fractions of SBRT to the prostate bed with or without whole pelvic radiotherapy Treatment every other day.
SOC RT
RadiationStandard salvage radiotherapy to the prostate bed with or without whole pelvic radiotherapy. Each participating centre can specify upfront which RT schedule will be used in the control arm, with the choice between the following schedules: * Hypofractionated: 20 fractions (Daily treatment (OTT 4-5 weeks)) * Normofractionated: 32-35 fractions (Daily treatment (OTT 7-8 weeks))
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
SBRT impact on patient-reported GI and GU symptoms
Urinary and bowel domain of the EPIC-26 (Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite).
Secondary outcomes
Patient Reported Outcomes
Patient-reported outcomes according to the different * EPIC-26 domains (0-100) * IPSS score (0-35) * EQ-5D-5L scores (five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression)
Ccost-utility during radiotherapy
Cost-utility analysis based on EQ-5D-5L (five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression)versus costs of RT and transportation during radiotherapy
Physician-scored toxicity
Physician-scored toxicity according to CTCAE 5.0 (grades) (Early: within 90 days; or late: 90 or more days after SBRT). Proportion of patients with G2+ toxicity will be reported specifically.
Blood lymphocyte evolution between study arms
