Overview
This is an interventional, single-centre, single-arm, non-randomized, prospective, feasibility trial investigating salvage MR-guided High-Dose-Rate brachytherapy for prostate bed recurrence after postoperative radiotherapy.
Detailed description
Patients who received previous adjuvant or salvage radiotherapy to the prostate bed \>
Isolated prostate bed recurrence based on PSMA PET, biopsy-proven, and MR visible \>
Baseline: QoLs questionnaires, PSA, pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan for RT planning \>
Two fractions of 13 Gy each delivered over 7-21 days. GTV(HDR) delineation (based on MRI-guided and PSMA PET, biopsy data as applicable) \>
Follow-Up after treatment 60 months: PSA, CTCAE v5.0, MRI pelvis +/- PSMA-PET scan (optional at 24 months)
Interventions
- Radiation High Dose Rate Brachytherapy
2 fractions of MRI-guided HDR Brachytherapy (13Gy each) delivered over 14 days (± 7 days).
Primary outcome measures
- Dosimetry Parameters [Time frame: 5 Years]
- Acute toxicity assessed by CTCAE V5.0 (Grade ≥3) [Time frame: 5 Years]
Secondary outcome measures (3)
- Biochemical Control assessed by PSA [Time frame: 5 Years]
- Local Disease Control [Time frame: 2 Years]
- Changes in Quality of Life [Time frame: 5 years]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- Patients who received previous RT to the prostate bed +/- pelvic nodal regions
- Prostate-bed recurrence identified by biopsy and/or MRI and/or PSMA-PET scan
- At least two continuous PSA elevations post RT and PSA above 0.2 ng/dl
- With or without ADT PSA doubling time from nadir greater than 6 months
- ECOG 0-2
- Age greater than 18 years
Exclusion criteria
- Radiological (e.g. PSMA PET, CT, MRI or bone scan) evidence of or distant metastases
- History of ≥G3 gastrointestinal (GI) and genitourinary (GU) toxicities following RT
- Any contraindications to MR and/or brachytherapy
