Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. It is not yet known which dose of radiation therapy is more effective in treating stage II prostate cancer.

PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of two different doses of specialized radiation therapy in treating patients who have stage II prostate cancer.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

* Compare the overall survival of patients with stage II adenocarcinoma of the prostate treated with high- vs standard-dose three-dimensional conformal or intensity-modulated radiotherapy.

* Compare the freedom from prostate-specific antigen failure, disease-specific survival, local progression, and distant metastases in patients treated with these regimens.

* Compare the probability of tumor control and normal tissue complications in patients treated with these regimens.

* Compare the incidence of grade 2 or greater genitourinary and gastrointestinal acute and late toxicity in patients treated with these regimens.

* Compare the quality of life, including sexual function, of patients treated with these regimens.

* Correlate histopathologic or tumor-specific cytogenetic or chromosomal markers with cancer control outcomes in patients treated with these regimens.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to Gleason score and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level (Gleason score 2-6, PSA ≥10 mg/mL but \< 20 ng/mL vs Gleason score 7, PSA \< 15 ng/mL) and radiation modality (three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy \[3D-CRT\] vs intensity-modulated radiotherapy \[IMRT\]). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

* Arm I: Patients undergo standard-dose 3D-CRT or IMRT once daily, 5 days a week, for 7.8 weeks (39 treatment days).

* Arm II: Patients undergo high-dose 3D-CRT or IMRT once daily, 5 days a week, for 8.8 weeks (44 treatment days).

Quality of life (QOL) is assessed initially at baseline. After completion of radiotherapy, QOL is assessed every 3 months for 1 year and then every 6 months for 4 years.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 1,520 patients (760 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study within 5 years.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall SurvivalFrom randomization to date of failure (death) or last follow-up. Analysis occurs after all patients have been potentially followed for 8 years.

Survival time is defined as time from randomization to the date of death from any cause and is estimated by the Kaplan-Meier Method. Patients last know to be alive are censored at date of last contact.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Quality Adjusted Survival by SQLIFrom randomization to 5 years.
Prostate-specific Antigen (PSA) Failure by American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology (ASTRO) DefinitionFrom randomization to date of failure (3 consecutive rises) or death or last follow-up. Analysis occurred after patients have been potentially followed for 5 years.

Failure is defined as having 3 consecutive elevations of post-treatment PSA or starting hormones after one or more elevations in post-treatment PSA but before three consecutive elevations were documented. The failure day date was the midpoint between last non-rising PSA and first PSA rise. Failure rates are estimated by the cumulative incidence method. Patients last known to be alive are censored at date of last contact.

Number of Participants With Improved, Stable, and Declined Spitzer Quality of Life Index (SQLI) at 12 MonthsBaseline and 12 months from randomization

The SQLI measures quality of life for patients with cancer and other chronic diseases. Possible scores range from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating a better outcome. Change from Baseline is defined as 12 month SQLI - baseline SQLI and is classified as follows:

Improvement: when change \>= to the standard error of measurement with reliability quotient of 0.5 (SEM); Stable: when -SEM \< change \< SEM; Declined: when change \<= SEM.

Normal Tissue Complication ProbabilityFrom randomization to last follow-up. Analysis can occur any time after the primary endpoint analysis.
Disease Specific SurvivalFrom randomization to date of failure (death due to prostate cancer) or death from other cause or last follow-up. Analysis occurs at the same time as the primary endpoint.

Survival time is defined as time from randomization to the date of death due to prostate cancer and is estimated by the cumulative incidence method. Patients last know to be alive are censored at date of last contact. Death due to prostate cancer was defined as primary cause of death certified as due to prostate cancer, or death in association with any of the following conditions: Further clinical tumor progression occurring after initiation of salvage anti-tumor therapy, a rise (that exceeds 1.0 ng/ml) in the serum PSA level on at least two consecutive occasions that occurred during or after salvage androgen suppression therapy, or disease progression in the absence of any anti-tumor therapy.

Local ProgressionFrom randomization to date of failure (local progression) or death or last follow-up. Analysis occurs at the same time as the primary endpoint.

Failure time is defined as time from randomization to the date of progression (increase in palpable abnormality), failure of regression of the palpable tumor by two years, and redevelopment of a palpable abnormality after complete disappearance of previous abnormalities. Failure rates are estimated by the cumulative incidence method. Patients last know to be alive are censored at date of last contact.

Distant MetastasesFrom randomization to date of failure (distant metastasis) or death or last follow-up. Analysis occurs at the same time as the primary endpoint.

Failure time is defined as time from randomization to the date of documented regional nodal recurrence or development of distant disease. Failure rates are estimated by the cumulative incidence method. Patients last know to be alive are censored at date of last contact.

Tumor Control ProbabilityFrom randomization to date of failure (tumor progression) or last follow-up. Analysis can occur any time after the primary endpoint analysis.
Grade 2 or Greater Genitourinary or Gastrointestinal ToxicityFrom the start of treatment to 90 days. Analysis occurs at the same time as the primary endpoint

Rate of acute 2+ grade genitourinary(GU)/gastrointestinal(GI) toxicity graded by Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) version 2.0

Percentage of Participants With Erectile Disfuction at 12 MonthsTwelve months from randomization

The International Index of Erectile Function Questionnaire (IIEF) is the primary measure for erectile function (ED). IIEF question number 1 ("How often were you able to get an erection during sexual activity?") is scored from: none/almost never (response 0-1) or \< half the time (response 2-3) to most times/almost always/always (response 4-5). A response of 0 to 3 on question number 1 of the IIEF is considered erectile dysfunction.
