Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Recurrent Prostate Cancer Stage I Prostate Cancer Stage IIA Prostate Cancer Stage IIB Prostate Cancer Stage III Prostate Cancer | Radiation: stereotactic body radiation therapy Procedure: quality-of-life assessment Other: laboratory biomarker analysis | Phase 1 |
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) with an upper limit of 45 Gray (Gy) in 5 fractions, in the delivery of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) to the prostate fossa.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess acute and late toxicities from treatment.
II. To assess biochemical progression-free survival.
III. To collect prospective quality-of-life data related to bowel, urinary, and sexual health.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.
Patients receive 5 fractions of SBRT over 1.5 weeks.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 90 days and then periodically for 3 years.

- MTD, defined as the highest dose tested in which fewer than 33% of patients experienced dose limiting toxicity, graded according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 [ Time Frame: 90 days ]Tables will be created to summarize these toxicities and side effects by dose level.
- Incidence of acute toxicities observed at each dose level graded according to the NCI CTCAE version 4.0 [ Time Frame: Up to 90 days ]Tables will be created to summarize these toxicities and side effects by dose level.
- Incidence of late toxicities observed at each dose level graded according to the NCI CTCAE version 4.0 [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]Tables will be created to summarize these toxicities and side effects by dose level.
- Biochemical progression-free survival [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]Estimated using Kaplan-Meier. 95% confidence intervals should be provided.
- Prospective quality-of-life data related to bowel, urinary, and sexual health using the numerical scores generated from the patient questionnaires [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]Quality of life questionnaires include the International Prostate Symptom Scale (IPSS), sexual health inventory for men (SHIM), and Merrick rectal function scale.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 19 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | Male |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- History of diagnosis of prostate cancer after undergoing prostatectomy
- No evidence of regional nodal or distant metastases based on computed tomography (CT) abdomen and pelvis and whole body bone scan within 120 days prior to study entry; nodes less than 1.5 cm will be considered reactive and biopsy is not required; nodes 1.5 cm or larger are required to undergo biopsy and be negative prior to study registration; bone scan findings in the absence of blastic or lytic lesion correlates on CT imaging will also be deemed non-neoplastic
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance scale 0-2
- Child bearing potential: In this patient population, this pertains to the ability to conceive a child; eligible patients already have received prostatectomy, and therefore this risk is not applicable
- Prostate specific antigen (PSA) value can be undetectable up to a value of 2.0 within 30 days prior to study entry
- PSA value that is undetectable can be enrolled if pathology from prostatectomy demonstrates one or more of the following: positive margin, extracapsular extension, or seminal vesicle invasion
- All subjects must have the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients should not have any uncontrolled illness including ongoing or active infection
- Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents, or concurrent biological chemotherapy
- Patients with history of prior malignancies (with exception to non-melanoma skin cancer) are ineligible for this study, unless they are documented to be disease-free for at least 5 years
-
Study-specific exclusions:
- History of prior radiation to the pelvis
- History of uncontrolled inflammatory bowel disease
- Unable to comply with radiation therapy procedures
- Subjects, who in the opinion of the investigator, may not be able to comply with the safety monitoring requirements of the study
