Details and patient eligibility

About

HYPO-RT-PC boost is is an open-label, multicentre, phase II trial evaluating safety and efficacy of real-time image-guided tumor-directed ultra-hypofractionated radiation boost and lymph node irradiation for patients with node-negative high risk localized prostate cancer.

Full description

HYPO-RT-PC boost is is an open-label, multicentre, phase II trial evaluating safety and efficacy of real-time image-guided tumor-directed ultra-hypofractionated radiation boost and lymph node irradiation for patients with node-negative high risk localized prostate cancer. 76 participants will be enrolled in the study.

Specific aims of the study are:

• To study the feasibility of ultra-hypofractionation target lesion boost for node-negative very high-risk prostate cancer together with lymph node irradiation (primary outcome).
• To study the effectiveness of ultra-hypofractionated target lesion boost for high-risk prostate cancer.
• To study the feasibility of defining focal boost during concomitant androgen deprivation therapy with advanced functional imaging methods.

Enrollment: 76 estimated patients

Sex: Male

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Life expectancy >5 years

• Other malignancies than prostate cancer and basalioma in the past five years
• Serious disease state that makes study inclusion and treatment unsuitable
• Severe lower urinary tract symptoms (International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) ≥20)
