ONE-SHOT Trial - Ultra-hypofractionated Single-dose SBRT for Prostate Cancer

Phase 1
Recruiting
Conditions
Prostate Cancer
Registration Number
NCT03294889
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Geneva
Brief Summary

The main objective of the phase I/II trial is to determine the safety and efficacy of a single fraction SBRT at a dose of 19 Gy in patients with localized prostate cancer.

Detailed Description

Total dose and dose per fraction play an important role in the curative treatment of prostate cancer with radiotherapy (RT). Modern image guided external RT allows safe dose escalation of prostate cancer. There are strong radiobiological and clinical considerations that suggest that treatment with a small number of large fractions (hypofractionation) may increase the therapeutic ratio of RT for prostate cancer by increasing the tumor cell killing effect with relatively less toxic effect on the surrounding late responding normal tissues compared to conventional fractionation.

The question of how far can the number of fractions with SBRT be reduced is an exciting research matter with an undoubtful goal, face the challenge of assessing the potential for cure of prostate cancer patients with a single and unique fraction of high dose irradiation similar to what is already undertaken with radiosurgery against brain, lung, and liver targets.

We hypothesize that an ultra-hypofractionated single-dose SBRT employing state of the art of image-guided RT techniques may be feasible, with a safe toxicity profile and an optimal long-term tumor control. Hence, a prospective phase I/II clinical trial will be initiated in prostate cancer patients with a localized disease to validate this treatment schedule as an alternative to normofractionated/moderate hypofractionated RT schedules to be tested in a second time in a phase III trial.

Exclusion Criteria
  • Tumor clinical stage cT3a-3b or T4
  • Evidence of T3a, T3b or T4 disease as assessed by MRI
  • Positive lymph-nodes or metastatic disease from prostate cancer on imaging studies.
  • Significant tumor on the transitional zone as assessed by MRI

  • Prior pelvic radiotherapy
  • Previous surgery for prostate cancer
  • Previous transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) (< 12 weeks before registration)
  • Hip prosthesis
  • Severe or active co-morbidity likely to impact on the advisability of SBRT

SINGLE_GROUP
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Clinical performance3 months

Toxicity will be evaluated using Grade ≥ 3 genitourinary and/or gastrointestinal acute adverse event (AE) during the first 3 month according to CTCAE classification v.4.03 (Phase I).

Progression free survival (PFS)3 years

The primary endpoint is 3-years biochemical relapse free survival (bRFS). bRFS and its 97.5% one-sided confidence interval (CI) will be determined using the Kaplan Meier method. If the expected value of 96% isn't included in this interval, the efficacy of the experimental treatment will be questioned. (Phase II).
