Phase 3
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Prostate Cancer
Registration Number
NCT01584258
Lead Sponsor
Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust
Brief Summary

This study is an international multicentre randomised study of low, intermediate, and high risk prostate cancer and is composed of three parallel randomisation schemes based on applicability of surgery as a treatment for the patient and risk group. Low and intermediate risk patients, for whom surgery is a consideration, are randomised to either prostatectomy or prostate SBRT. Low and intermediate risk patients, for whom surgery is not a consideration, are randomised to either conventionally fractionated radiotherapy or prostate SBRT. Intermediate and high risk patients, for whom ADT treatment is indiacted and surgery is not a consideration, are randomised to either conventionally fractionated radiotherapy or prostate SBRT. Efficacy, toxicity and quality of life outcomes will be compared across the pairs in each randomisation.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
PACE-B and PACE-C: Freedom from biochemical or clinical failure5 years from randomisation (primary timepoint)

Biochemical progression is defined as: Phoenix definition

Clinical progression is defined as: commencement (PACE-B) or re-commencement (PACE-C) of androgen deprivation therapy, local recurrence, nodal recurrence and distant metastases

PACE-A: Co-primary patient reported outcomes of urinary incontinence and bowel bother2 years from treatment (primary timepoint)

Urinary incontinence assessed by the number of absorbent pads required per day to control leakage measured by The Expanded Prostate Cancer Index (EPIC) questionnaire.

Bowel bother assessed by summary score from the EPIC questionnaire.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
All arms: Clinician reported acute toxicity10 years

CTCAE and RTOG (SBRT and conventional RT patients) or Clavien scale (surgical patients).

All arms: Progression-free survival10 years

Radiographic, clinical or biochemical evidence of local or distant failure

All arms: Disease-specific and overall survival10 years

Disease-specific and overall survival

All arms: Patient reported acute and late bowel, bladder and erectile dysfunction symptoms.10 years

Assessed using International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5), International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), Vaizey score, and Expanded Prostate Index Composite-26 (EPIC-26) instruments.

PACE-A and PACE-B: Commencement of androgen deprivation therapy; PACE-C: Re-commencement of androgen deprivation therapy10 years

LHRH analogues, anti-androgens, orchidectomy

PACE-A: Freedom from biochemical or clinical failure5 years from randomisation (primary timepoint)

Biochemical progression is defined as: Phoenix definition (SBRT arm) or \>0.2ng/ml (surgical arm)

Clinical progression is defined as: commencement of androgen deprivation therapy, local recurrence, nodal recurrence and distant metastases

All arms: Clinician reported late toxicity10 years

CTCAE and RTOG (SBRT and conventional RT patients only).
