Official title
A Phase II Trial of PSMA-Directed Para-Aortic Radiation Therapy for Oligorecurrent Prostate Cancer - The OCEAN Trial
Overview
The purpose of this prostate cancer research study is to learn about: 1. Improving control of prostate cancer using radiation therapy, delivered to the para-aortic and pelvic lymph nodes, in addition to systemic androgen suppression therapy; 2. Preserving quality of life after radiation therapy; 3. Leveraging imaging results from prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scans to evaluate and manage disease progression.
Interventions
- Radiation Para Aortic Radiation Therapy: Photon Therapy
Participants will undergo five weeks of PA-RT daily, for up to 30 minutes per day for 25 days, Monday through Friday, consisting of a total dose of 50 grays (Gys) delivered in 25 fractions to the Clinical Tumor Volume (CTV). - Radiation Para Aortic Radiation Therapy: Proton Therapy
Participants will undergo five weeks of PA-RT daily, for up to 30 minutes per day for 25 days, Monday through Friday, consisting of a total dose of 60 to 65 Gys delivered in 25 fractions to the Gross Tumor Volume (GTVn). - Drug Androgen Deprivation Therapy
Androgen deprivation therapy will be administered as per standard of care. - Drug Androgen Receptor Signaling Inhibitor
Androgen receptor signaling inhibitor (ARSI) will be administered as per standard of care.
