Clinical Trial Summary

RATIONALE: Stereotactic body radiation therapy may be able to send x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue.

PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of stereotactic body radiation therapy and to see how well it works in treating patients with prostate cancer.

Description:

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

• To escalate the dose of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) to a tumoricidal dose without exceeding the maximum tolerated dose in patients with organ-confined prostate cancer. (Phase I)

• To determine the late, severe grade 3-5 genitourinary and gastrointestinal toxicity occurring between 270-540 days (i.e., 9-18 months) from the start of the protocol treatment as assessed by CTCAE v3.0. (Phase II)

Secondary

• To determine the dose-limiting toxicity of SBRT in these patients. (Phase I)

• To determine the 2-year biochemical (PSA) control (freedom from PSA failure), disease-free and overall survival, local control, freedom from distant metastases, and the incidence of high-grade adverse events of any type in patients treated with this therapy in order to determine if the therapy is promising enough for further clinical investigation. (Phase II)

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, phase I dose-escalation study followed by a phase II open-label study.

• Phase I: Patients undergo 5 treatments of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT).

• Phase II: Patients undergo SBRT at the maximum tolerated dose as in phase I. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 1.5, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months, every 6 months for 5 years, and then once a year for years 5-10.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 97 patients will be accrued for this study.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicity (Phase 1 Only)	Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) was defined as grade 3 to 5 GI, genito urinary, sexual, or neurologic toxicity attributed to therapy occurring within 90 days of registration using Common Terminology Criteria of Adverse Events(version 3)	90 days after start of treatment
Primary	No. of Late Severe GU Toxicity (for Phase 2 Only)	To determine late severe GU toxicity defined as grade 3-5 occurring between 279-540 days (i.e., 9-18 months) from the start of protocol treatment. Toxicity was defined using the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v.3.0. CTCAE uses a range of grades from 1 to 5; 1 - Mild 2 - Moderate 3 - Severe 4 - Life-threatening 5 - Death.	18 months
Primary	No. of Late Severe GI Toxicity (for Phase 2 Only)	To determine late severe GI toxicity defined as grade 3-5 occurring between 279-540 days (i.e., 9-18 months) from the start of protocol treatment.
