Conditions
Prostate Cancer
Interventions
Radiation: Optimal Booster
Radiation: Optimal SBRT
Registration Number
NCT03386045
Lead Sponsor
Royal North Shore Hospital
Brief Summary

To compare the toxicity, rate of local control, biochemical failure rate and quality of life of three different radiotherapy techniques (moderate hypofractionation, stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and standard radiotherapy plus 2 fractions of SBRT (BOOSTER)

Detailed Description

Participants must have histologically proven prostate adenocarcinoma, good performance status and suitable for high dose radiotherapy. There are two groups of participants:

Group 1: eligible participants will be randomised to have either moderate hypofractionation or standard radiotherapy plus SBRT (BOOSTER). Participants in this group must be able to have MRI, prostate fiducial markers (gold markers)and hydrogel insertion. Fiducial markers will be used to locate the prostate accurately during radiation treatment. Hydrogel is a temporary gel being injected into the space between the prostate and rectum to reduce the dose of radiation received by the rectum to minimise side effects from the treatment.

Group 2: eligible participants will be randomised to have either moderate hypofractionation or SBRT.

Participants will be reviewed for side effects. A Safety Committee will be formed containing multi-disciplinary team members. All serious adverse will be reported to the principal investigator and Human Research Ethics Committee within 24 hours.

GroupInterventionDescription
Optimal BoosterOptimal BoosterParticipants in this group will be randomised to either standard radiotherapy plus SBRT (45 Gy in 20 fractions plus 20-30 Gy in 2 fractions-Booster) or standard radiotherapy (60 Gy in 20 fractions). The allocation is 2 to 1. This means that two thirds of the participants on the trial will get the Booster arm and one third will get the standard fractions.
Optimal SBRTOptimal SBRTParticipants in this group will be randomised to either SBRT ( 36 to 45 GY in 5 fractions) or standard radiotherapy (60 Gy in 20 fractions). The allocation is 2 to 1. This means that two thirds of the participants on the trial will get the SBRT (5 treatments) and one third will get the standard fractions.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
local control12 months post radiotherapy

the rate of local control as determined on PSMA scanning

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Accuracy of the various intrafraction guidance methodsDuring radiotherapy treatment

Accuracy of various intrafraction guidance methods will be determined against triangulation of kilovoltage (kV) and Megavoltage (MV) projections

late toxicitymore than three months after treatment completion.

Late Gastrointestinal and Genitourinary Toxicity (modified RTOG scale)

Biological failure rate3 year and 5 year

The rate of biochemical failure defined as Nadir+2.0 biochemical failure defined as Nadir+2.0

Markerless tracking technologyDuring radiotherapy treatment

Markerless tracking algorithms will be assessed for accuracy against marker-based localisation by masking the markers and directly comparing the determined trajectories
