Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to examine the clinical feasibility of using Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) combined with daily pretreatment prostate localization to deliver increasingly hypofractionated treatment courses. Progressively larger fraction sizes will be delivered in a phase I design based on both acute and long-term tolerances to the treatment. The dose-per-fraction escalation design utilizes schemas that maintain an isoeffective dose for late effects, while predicting that tumor control will actually improve. The delivery of fewer, larger fractions of radiation, if proven effective and safe, would result in significant cost saving and more efficient use of resources. Phase II will commence with Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) finding with up to 200 additional patients being enrolled during this phase of the study.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Number of Participants Who Experience Grade 3 or Higher Acute Toxicities
Time Frame: 90 days post radiation treatment
To evaluate acute tolerances to dose-per-fraction escalation in the treatment of prostate cancer using optimized treatment of Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), daily rectal balloon displacement, and transabdominal ultrasound localization of the prostate. For toxicities observed within the first 10 patients at each hypofractionation level, ≥20% acute grade 3 or higher GI or genitourinary (GU) toxicity will constitute a threshold toxicity level and will dictate a decrease in frequency of treatment by one treatment per week. Maximum tolerated dose is reached if 20% of participants experience acute toxicities grade 3 or higher.
Number of Subjects Experiencing Grade 2 or Higher Late Rectal Toxicities at Any Time During Follow Up
Time Frame: from 90 days post XRT through last follow-up visit (up to 3 years)
To evaluate late radiation toxicities to dose-per fraction escalation in the treatment of prostate
