Hormone Therapy and Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Metastatic Prostate Cancer

Phase 2

Active, not recruiting

Conditions: PSA Level Greater Than Two
Stage IV Prostate Adenocarcinoma AJCC v7

Interventions: Drug: Bicalutamide
Drug: Goserelin Acetate
Radiation: Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy
Other: Laboratory Biomarker Analysis
Drug: Leuprolide Acetate

Registration Number: NCT00544830

Lead Sponsor: City of Hope Medical Center

Brief Summary: This phase II trial studies how well hormone therapy and intensity-modulated radiation therapy work in treating patients with prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Anti-hormone therapy using goserelin, leuprolide acetate, or bicalutamide, may lessen the amount of androgens made by the body. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. Giving hormone therapy and intensity-modulated radiation therapy may work better in treating patients with prostate cancer.

Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the time to prostate-specific antigen (PSA) relapse in patients with oligometastatic (=\< 5 lesions) hormone-sensitive prostate cancer treated with 36 weeks of androgen deprivation therapy and localized radiotherapy to all known tumor sites.

II. To assess the prostate-specific-antigen (PSA) and objective response rate to treatment with 36 weeks of androgen deprivation and localized radiotherapy in patients with oligometastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.

III. To assess the toxicity of 36 weeks of androgen deprivation and localized radiation therapy to oligometastases in patients with oligometastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.

IV. In appropriate situations evaluate the feasibility and toxicities of using helical tomotherapy image-guided intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) to treat oligometastatic sites.

OUTLINE:

ANDROGEN DEPRIVATION THERAPY (ADT): Patients not currently on ADT receive goserelin acetate subcutaneously (SC) or leuprolide acetate via injection once every 4 or 12 weeks and bicalutamide orally (PO) once daily (QD). Treatment repeats every 12 weeks for up to 3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients already receiving ADT at the time of enrollment continue treatment until they have received 36 weeks of therapy.

RADIATION THERAPY: Patients achieving PSA normalization after initiation of androgen deprivation therapy undergo intensity-modulated radiation therapy daily for 2-7 weeks during or after completion of androgen deprivation therapy.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 4 weeks for 2 years, then every 3 months after year 2, and then every 6 months thereafter.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Time to Prostate-specific Antigen (PSA) Relapse	End-of-therapy until PSA reached pre-treatment level or 10 (whichever was lower)	Time from the date of the last dose of bicalutamide or the last day of radiation therapy (whichever comes later) until the date criteria are met for PSA relapse. PSA relapse after completion of initial 36 weeks of androgen deprivation therapy is defined as an increase in PSA value to above pre-therapy level, or to \> 10, whichever is smaller. For example, a patient with pre-treatment PSA level of 40 will resume androgen deprivation therapy when PSA level is \> 10, while a patient with pre-treatment PSA level of 3 will resume androgen deprivation therapy when PSA level is \> 3.
