Brief Summary:
Patients with low-risk or favorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer as defined by 1.2016 NCCN criteria will be eligible to participate on this study.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Prostate Cancer Device: Endorectal Balloon Device: Rectal Spacer Radiation: Radiation therapy Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

This is a randomized, two arm study for patients with low-risk or favorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer as defined by 1.2016 NCCN criteria.

Patients will be randomized to either rectal spacer placement or endorectal balloon placement, daily prior to each radiation treatment.

  1. Endorectal balloon (ERB): Immobilization device manually placed into the rectum prior to radiation treatment planning CT and daily treatment delivery, to immobilize the prostate and reduce prostate motion.
  2. Rectal spacer (RS): Biodegradable gel that is transperineally injected between the rectum and prostate under transrectal ultrasound guidance, to increase physical distance and thereby reduce radiation dose to the anterior rectal wall. The spacer begins to biodegrade in 2-3 months, and is fully absorbed within 6 months.

This study plans to enroll a total of 40 patients with an accrual period of 4 years.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Endorectal balloon - Radiation therapy

Group 1 : Endorectal balloon (ERB): Immobilization device manually placed into the rectum prior to radiation treatment planning CT and daily treatment delivery, to immobilize the prostate and reduce prostate motion.

Patients on each arm will receive 5 fractions of radiation, 7.25Gy per fraction, delivered 2-3 times a week (every other day excluding weekends), to total dose of 36.25 Gy. The total duration of treatment will be no shorter than 10 days.

 Device: Endorectal Balloon

Patients on each arm will receive 5 fractions of radiation, 7.25Gy per fraction, delivered 2-3 times a week (every other day excluding weekends), to total dose of 36.25 Gy. The total duration of treatment will be no shorter than 10 days.


Radiation: Radiation therapy
Patients on each arm will receive 5 fractions of radiation, 7.25Gy per fraction, delivered 2-3 times a week (every other day excluding weekends), to total dose of 36.25 Gy. The total duration of treatment will be no shorter than 10 days.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. To assess acute GI/GU toxicity [ Time Frame: 4 years ]
    To compare acute GI/GU toxicity (as defined by CTCAE v4.0) and to compare Rectal dose (V35, max rectal dose)


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Health-related quality of Life questionnaire [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
    To compare health-related quality of life (HRQOL) measured using the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC) instrument for bowel, urinary and sexual domains

  2. To measure recurrence-free survival [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
    To compare biochemical recurrence-free survival at 1, 2 and 5 years

  3. To compare radiation dose distribution of the two techniques [ Time Frame: 5 years ]

    To compare the dose distribution of the 2 techniques, specifically:

    1. coverage of the PTV
    2. DVH of organs at risk (OAR)
    3. prostate motion and shifts required during treatment

  4. To assess late GI/GU toxicity [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
    To compare late GI/GU toxicity (as defined by CTCAE v4.0)


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. To explore changes in the microbiome that is associated with normal tissue toxicities resulting from radiation [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
    To explore microbiome changes associated with normal tissue toxicities resulting from radiation

  2. To compare blood count (CBC) measurements at different time points to assess impact of SBRT [ Time Frame: 5 years ]
    To collect complete blood count (CBC) measurements at pre-treatment, 1, 3 , 6 and 12 months post-treatment to assess impact of SBRT, if any, on baseline values
