Brief Summary

This phase II trial tests whether magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided hypofractionated radiation therapy works to reduce treatment time and side effects in patients with high risk prostate cancer. MRI-guided hypofractionated radiation therapy delivers higher doses of radiation therapy over a shorter period of time directly to diseased tissue, reducing damage to healthy tissue. Using MRI-guided radiation therapy on areas of the prostate and pelvic lymph nodes may shorten overall treatment time compared to the longer standard of care therapy and may reduce the number and/or duration of side effects.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. Evaluate late grade 2+ genitourinary (GU) toxicity.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:

I. Evaluating acute GU and gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity, late GI toxicity, overall survival, prostate cancer specific survival, biochemical failure, and quality of life.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo MRI-guided intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) on study and receive standard of care (SOC) antiandrogen therapy (ADT) throughout the trial. Patients may also undergo prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET), computed tomography (CT), MRI, and bone scans at screening and undergo collection of blood samples throughout the trial.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for a total of 4 years.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Age: above 18 years
  • Participants must be histologically proven, adenocarcinoma prostate
  • Localized to the prostate without positive pelvic lymph node involvement
  • No distant metastatic disease assessed by pretreatment PSMA PET or bone scan and CT scan
  • High risk prostate cancer as defined by National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN): Gleason score of 8- 10, clinical stage T3a or higher, or prostate specific antigen (PSA) > 20 ng/mL

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Rate of late grade 2+ genitourinary (GU) toxicityAt 1 year

Per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0 compared to rate of toxicity in POP-RT trial. Will be estimated for the entire sample that receives the intervention, treating death from any cause (other than treatment) as a competing risk and censoring subjects who drop out before experiencing toxicity at time of last follow-up. A point estimate of cumulative incidence at 1 year will be estimated from this curve along with a two-sided 90% confidence interval. If the upper bound of the interval is less than 20%, the null hypothesis will be rejected.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Quality of life measurementevery 6 months beginning at year 2, assessed up to 4 years

Using patient reported outcome-expanded prostate cancer index composite. Will be summarized using descriptive statistics.

Incidence of late GI toxicityevery 6 months beginning at year 2, assessed up to 4 years

Will be estimated using a binomial proportion and exact 95% confidence interval.

Incidence of acute GU and gastrointestinal (GI) toxicityevery 6 months beginning at year 2, assessed up to 4 years

Will be estimated using a binomial proportion and exact 95% confidence interval.

Prostate cancer specific survivalevery 6 months beginning at year 2, assessed up to 4 years

Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

Biochemical failureevery 6 months beginning at year 2, assessed up to 4 years

Defined as prostate specific antigen nadir plus 2 ng/ml. Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

Overall survivalevery 6 months beginning at year 2, assessed up to 4 years

Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
