Clinical Trial Summary

This phase II trial studies how well stereotactic body radiation therapy works in treating patients with prostate cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body and have undergone surgery. Stereotactic body radiation therapy is a specialized radiation therapy that sends x-rays directly to the tumor using smaller doses over several days and may cause less damage to normal tissue.

Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the efficacy of postoperative stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) at a dose of 34 grays (Gy) in five fractions, as compared with historical control efficacy rates in patients who received conventionally fractionated postoperative radiotherapy. II. To determine the toxicity of postoperative SBRT at a dose of 34 Gy in five fractions, both via physician-scored and patient-reported metrics. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the proportion of SBRT fractions for which on-line adaptive radiotherapy is required due to changes in organ-at-risk anatomy, in the subset of patients treated with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided radiotherapy. II. To gather biomarkers that may elucidate predictors of increased efficacy or increased toxicity. TERTIARY OBJECTIVES: I. To compare toxicity profiles (both physician-scored and patient-reported) between patients treated utilizing a linear accelerator versus a tri-60Co teletherapy platform. OUTLINE: Patients undergo SBRT every other day (QOD) for 14 days. Patients may also receive androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) comprised of a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist or a gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist, and an oral anti-androgen for 6 months at the discretion of the treating physician. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 1 month, every 3 months for 1 year, every 6 months for 4 years, and then annually thereafter.

Recruitment information / eligibility

• Enrollment: 92
• Est. completion date: November 1, 2025
• Est. primary completion date: November 1, 2024
• Accepts healthy volunteers: No
• Gender: Male
• Age group: 18 Years and older

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• History of histologically confirmed, clinical localized adenocarcinoma of the prostate treated with radical prostatectomy with definitive intent
• Presence of adverse pathologic features at the time of prostatectomy (positive surgical margin, pathologic T-stage 3-4 disease, pathologic Gleason score 8-10 disease, presence of tertiary Gleason grade 5 disease) OR documentation of rising prostate-specific antigen on at least two consecutive draws, with the magnitude of prostate-specific antigen exceeding 0.03 ng/mL
• Computed tomography (CT) scan and MRI of the pelvis within 120 days prior to enrollment (note: [a] if patient has medical contraindication to MRI, an exemption will be granted and enrollment can proceed [b] for patients with PSA < 1.0 ng/mL, the treatment planning CT can substitute for a diagnostic CT scan)
• Bone scan within 120 days prior to enrollment; if the bone scan is suspicious, a plain x-ray and/or MRI must be obtained to rule out metastasis, and advanced imaging (e.g., 18NaF positron emission tomography [PET]/CT) is strongly recommended
• Karnofsky performance score (KPS) >= 70
• Ability to understand, and willingness to sign, the written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with any evidence of distant metastases
• Patients with pathologically-confirmed N1 prostate cancer
• Patients with neuroendocrine or small cell carcinoma of the prostate
• Prior cryosurgery, high-intensity focused ultrasound ablation (HIFU) or brachytherapy of the prostate
• Prior pelvic radiotherapy
• History of Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or ataxia telangiectasia

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	Physician-scored Toxicity profiles patients treated utilizing a linear accelerator	Comparative analysis will be performed to assess physician-scored toxicity profiles for treated utilizing a linear accelerator. Unpaired t-test or Wilcoxon rank sum test will be used for quantitative toxicity metrics.	Up to 5 years
Other	Patient-reported toxicity outcomes; patients treated utilizing a linear accelerator	Comparative analysis will be performed to assess patient-reported toxicity profiles for treated utilizing a linear accelerator. Unpaired t-test or Wilcoxon rank sum test will be used for quantitative toxicity metrics.	Up to 5 years
Other	Physician-scored toxicity profiles patients treated utilizing the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided device	Comparative analysis will be performed to assess toxicity profiles with patients treated utilizing a linear accelerator. Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test will be used for qualitative toxicity measurements, while unpaired t-test or Wilcoxon rank sum test will be used for quantitative toxicity metrics.	Up to 5 years
Other	Patient-reported toxicity profiles patients treated utilizing the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided device	Comparative analysis will be performed to assess patient-reported toxicity profiles for treated utilizing an MRI-guided radiotherapy device. Unpaired t-test or Wilcoxon rank sum test will be used for quantitative toxicity metrics.	Up to 5 years
Primary	Biochemical recurrence-free survival (BCRFS)	Defined as serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) rising from the post-treatment nadir to a level of 0.4 ng/mL or more with a confirmatory second test, initiation of salvage androgen deprivation therapy, or continued rise in PSA after stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). The Kaplan-Meier product-limit estimate of the BCRFS will be estimated and presented graphically. One sample log-rank test will be used to test difference in BCRFS between intervention and historical control. The median BCRFS time will be calculated with 95% confidence interval. Summaries of the number and percentage of patients experiencing a biochemical recurrence will be provided.	Up to 5 years
Primary	Physician-scored toxicity	Represented by the rates of acute (early, within 90 days of SBRT) and late (90 or more days after SBRT) genitourinary and gastrointestinal toxicity based on the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.03. Adverse Events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) will be listed individually by patient.	Up to 5 years
Primary	Patient-reported toxicity outcomes EPIC-26	Patient-reported toxicity outcomes represented by changes in the urinary incontinence, urinary obstruction, bowel, sexual function, and hormone/vitality domains on the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index-26 (EPIC-26) quality of life instrument (scored from 0-100 points for each domain, higher scores reflect worse symptom/bother severity.)	Up to 5 years
Primary	Patient-reported toxicity outcomes IPSS	Patient-reported toxicity outcomes represented by changes in International Prostate Symptom Scores (IPSS) (scored from 0-35 points, higher scores reflect worse symptom/bother severity.).	Up to 5 years
