Radiation Therapy in Combination With Brachytherapy for Clinically Localized, Intermediate Risk Prostate Cancer
- Conditions
- Prostate Cancer
- Registration Number
- NCT02280356
- Lead Sponsor
- Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and side effects "of "ultra-hypofractionated" radiation therapy when used after brachytherapy (radiation implants). This treatment delivers a higher radiation dose with each treatment over a shorter period of time.

- 45
- Intermediate risk prostate cancer patients will be eligible for this study. Intermediate risk grouping will be assessed per NCCN guidelines as:
- Pathologically-proven diagnosis of prostate adenocarcinoma
- PSA 10-20ng/mL or
- Gleason =7 or
- Clinical stage T2b/c
- Clinical stage T2b/c Additionally, patients will be required to meet the following criteria
- Age ≥18
- KPS≥70
- Prostate volume ≤ 60cc (cytoreductive androgen deprivation therapy prior to brachytherapy of ≤ 6 months duration will be allowed to achieve this goal). For patients with a prostate volume between 50-60ccs, hormone therapy will be at the discretion of the physician.
- International Prostate Symptom Score ≤15
- Prior prostate surgery (including TURP)
- Prior history of chronic prostatitis or urethral stricture
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Prior history of pelvic radiotherapy
- Unable to give informed consent
- Metastatic disease.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Number of Participants With Urinary Toxicity Assessed by CTCAE v4.0 12 months Participants with Urinary Toxicity Assessed by CTCAE v4.0 at approximately 12 months of hypofractionated radiation therapy in combination with brachytherapy for the treatment of intermediate risk prostate cancer.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Mean Change in International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) to Assess Urinary Functioning From Baseline at 12 Months 12 months The International Prostate Symptom Score/IPSS index is a seven item questionnaire that assesses urinary functioning, including urinary frequency, nocturia, weak urinary stream, hesitancy, intermittence, incomplete emptying, and urgency. Questions are rated on a six point Likert scale. Higher scores indicate more difficulty in urinary functioning. A score of 7 or less is mildly symptomatic, 8 to 19 is moderately symptomatic, and 20 to 35 is severely symptomatic. Scale range is 0-35. Total score is reported.
