Neoadjuvant Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy Prior to Radical Prostatectomy for High Risk Prostate Cancer

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Prostate Cancer
Interventions
Radiation: Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy
Procedure: Radical Prostatectomy
Registration Number
NCT02946008
Lead Sponsor
University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center
Brief Summary

This is a single-arm prospective non-randomized, non-blinded trial to assess the safety of neoadjuvant stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) before surgery in high risk prostate cancer patients.

Radiation therapy will be delivered over 5 treatment sessions for approximately 1.5 weeks total.

  • PSA ≥20 and/or
  • Gleason score ≥8 and/or
  • Clinical or radiographic stage ≥T3a per AJCC (American Joint Committee on Cancer) 7th Edition Staging Manual and/or
  • Radiographic pelvic lymph node positive disease and/or

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of Neoadjuvant SBRT6-week post-prostatectomy

The MTD is defined as the SBRT dose that with radical prostatectomy induces dose-limiting toxicity in 28% of subjects or less.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Incidence of Urinary Strictureup to one year post treatment

Urinary stricture, according to Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v.4.0 (Grade 1 = mild, Grade 2 = moderate, Grade 3 = severe, Grade 4 = life threatening, Grade 5 = death.)

Number of Patients with Positive Surgical Margins4-10 weeks post radiation therapy

Surgical specimens will be evaluated by the study pathologist to determine rate of margin positivity.

Rectal Toxicityup to one year post treatment

Rectal Toxicity, according to Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v.4.0 (Grade 1 = mild, Grade 2 = moderate, Grade 3 = severe, Grade 4 = life threatening, Grade 5 = death.)

Number of Patients with Extracapsular Extension4-10 weeks post radiation therapy

Surgical specimens will be evaluated by the study pathologist to determine rate of extracapsular extension.

Incidence of Urinary Incontinenceup to one year post treatment

Urinary incontinence will be scored according to Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v.4.0 (Grade 1 = Occasional, Grade 2 = Spontaneous, pads indicated, Grade 3 = Intervention indicated)

Incidence of Urinary Botherup to one year post treatment

Urinary bother, according to Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v.4.0 (Grade 1 = mild, Grade 2 = moderate, Grade 3 = severe, Grade 4 = life threatening, Grade 5 = death.)
