About

A single arm phase II study of SBRT for prostate cancer to primarily assess acute and late toxicity and secondarily PSA outcomes and quality of life measurements of an extreme hypofractionated regimen of 36.25Gy in 5 fractions over 10-11 days.

Full description

This is a single arm phase II study of SBRT for prostate cancer to primarily assess acute and late toxicity and secondarily PSA outcomes and quality of life measurements of an extreme hypofractionated regimen of 36.25Gy in 5 fractions over 10-11 days. The radiation therapy is to be delivered using intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) with the aid of volumetric image guidance to ensure accuracy. Toxicity will be measured at preset intervals, as will HRQOL parameters using the Expanded Prostate Index Composite (EPIC) questionaire which focuses on bowel, urinary, sexual and hormonal symptoms.

Inclusion criteria

Histologically confirmed diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the prostate
History/physical examination with digital rectal examination of the prostate within 60 days prior to registration
Histological evaluation of prostate biopsy with assignment of a Gleason score to the biopsy material; Gleason scores 2-7
Clinical stage T1-2b (DRE) (AJCC 7th edition) within 90 days of registration
PSA < 20 ng/mL within 60 days prior to registration. PSA should not be obtained within 10 days after prostate biopsy. (Every effort should be made to obtain all serum PSA values obtained in the 1 year prior to treatment to allow for calculation of PSA kinetics.)
Not more than one intermediate risk factor (T2b/GS7/PSA 10-20)
Zubrod Performance Status 0-1 within 60 days prior to registration
Age ≥ 21
Patient must be able to provide study-specific informed consent prior to study entry.
Willingness and ability to complete the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC) questionnaire

Exclusion criteria

Prior or concurrent invasive malignancy (except non-melanomatous skin cancer) or lymphomatous/hematogenous malignancy unless continually disease free for a minimum of 5 years. (For example, carcinoma of the oral cavity is permissible; however, patients with prior history of bladder cancer are not allowed)
T-stage ≥ T2c on staging MRI
Evidence of distant metastases
Regional lymph node involvement
Previous radical surgery (prostatectomy), cryosurgery, or HIFU for prostate cancer
Previous pelvic irradiation, prostate brachytherapy, or bilateral orchiectomy
Previous hormonal therapy, such as LHRH agonists (e.g., goserelin, leuprolide) or LHRH antagonists (e.g., degarelix), anti-androgens (e.g., flutamide, bicalutamide), estrogens (e.g., DES), or surgical castration (orchiectomy)
Use of finasteride within 30 days prior to registration. PSA should not be obtained prior to 30 days after stopping finasteride.
Use of dutasteride within 90 days prior to registration. PSA should not be obtained prior to 90 days after stopping dutasteride.
Previous or concurrent cytotoxic chemotherapy for prostate cancer
Severe, active co-morbidity, defined as follows:
- Unstable angina and/or congestive heart failure requiring hospitalization within the last 6 months
- Transmural myocardial infarction within the last 6 months
- Acute bacterial or fungal infection requiring intravenous antibiotics at the time of registration
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation or other respiratory illness requiring hospitalization or precluding study therapy at the time of registration
- Hepatic insufficiency resulting in clinical jaundice and/or coagulation defects; note, however, that laboratory tests for liver function and coagulation parameters are not required for entry into this protocol. (Patients on Coumadin or other blood thinning agents are eligible for this study.)
- Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) based upon current CDC definition; note, however, that HIV testing is not required for entry into this protocol. The need to exclude patients with AIDS from this protocol is necessary because the treatments involved in this protocol may be significantly immunosuppressive. Protocol-specific requirements may also exclude immuno-compromised patients.
