Radiation Therapy in Combination With Brachytherapy for Clinically Localized, Intermediate Risk Prostate Cancer

Phase 2
Completed
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.

  • 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

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With Urinary Toxicity Assessed by CTCAE v4.012 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
NameTimeMethod
Mean Change in International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) to Assess Urinary Functioning From Baseline at 12 Months12 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.
