Official title
Daily Adaptive Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Prostate Cancer With Urethral Sparing: A Prospective Trial Using an Individualized Approach to Reduce Urinary Toxicity
Overview
This trial is a prospective, single-arm, multi-center clinical trial designed to assess whether adaptive radiotherapy with urethral sparing for low to intermediate risk localized prostate cancer will translate into a decreased rate of patient reported acute urinary side effects, as measured by the patient reported EPIC-26 questionnaire, compared with the historically reported rate for non-adaptive, non-urethral sparing prostate SBRT.
Interventions
- Device Daily adaptive SBRT with urethral sparing
The radiation plan for each daily fraction is adapted from the initial plan based on cone beam CT imaging acquired while the participant is laying on the treatment machine.
Primary outcome measures
- Patient-reported acute urinary toxicity [Time frame: 90 days after end of SBRT]
Secondary outcome measures (12)
- Freedom from biochemical recurrence [Time frame: 5 years after end of SBRT]
- Patient-reported quality of life issues related to prostate cancer. [Time frame: Baseline; during treatment; 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, and 5 years after end of SBRT]
- Patient-reported erectile dysfunction symptoms [Time frame: Baseline; during treatment; 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, and 5 years after end of SBRT]
- Patient-reported urinary symptoms [Time frame: Baseline; during treatment; 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, and 5 years after end of SBRT]
- Patient-reported overall quality of life [Time frame: Baseline; during treatment; 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, and 5 years after end of SBRT]
- Physician-reported toxicities [Time frame: During treatment; 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, and 5 years after end of SBRT]
- Alpha-blocker medication use [Time frame: Baseline; during treatment; 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, and 5 years after end of SBRT]
- Metastasis-free survival [Time frame: 5 years after end of SBRT]
- Prostate-cancer specific mortality [Time frame: 5 years after end of SBRT]
- Overall survival [Time frame: 5 years after end of SBRT]
- Workflow metrics of adaptive SBRT for prostate cancer [Time frame: 2 weeks after start of SBRT]
- Target and OAR dosimetry [Time frame: 2 weeks after start of SBRT]
