Overview
This is a single arm trial that is recruiting a total of 50 participants that have been diagnosed with prostate bed (where the prostate was taken out) or regional (surrounding lymph nodes) recurrence of a prostate cancer following surgery. Salvage radiation treatment represents the main treatment option, with long-term cure rates on the order of 70%. Currently, salvage radiation treatment to the prostate bed and the pelvic lymph nodes is delivered using external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) in 20-33 sessions, over 4-6.5 weeks. Potential study participants have undergone a PSMA PET scan, which has found recurrent cancer in the prostate bed or lymph nodes. This study will investigate personalizing your radiation treatment based on this information. Participants on this study will receive lower than standard radiation dose to areas of the surgical site which do not show evidence of disease on the scan. This personalized radiotherapy will be delivered in 5 treatments over two weeks, rather than the four to 6 weeks which is the current standard of care. Participants will have a routine history, blood collection for PSA and hormone levels, toxicity assessment, and EPIC-26 \& IPSS questionnaires at each follow-up visit. These will take place at 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, and 60 months after radiation treatment.
Interventions
- Radiation Image-guided Radiotherapy
* Molecular imaging informed radiation dose escalation to sites of recurrent disease and de-escalation to uninvolved areas with SBRT, 25Gy in 5 fractions to prostate bed +/- pelvic lymph nodes delivered every other day with a boost to PSMA avid disease of 35 Gy in 5 fraction * Treatment of pelvic lymph nodes and androgen deprivation therapy for 0-24 months at clinician discretion
Primary outcome measures
- Radiation-induced Acute Grade ≥2 Toxicity [Time frame: Baseline to 5-year follow up]
Secondary outcome measures (4)
- Acute and Late GI and GU toxicities [Time frame: Estimated at 6 months and 2 years following treatment]
- Local Recurrence [Time frame: Estimated at 2 years and 5 years following treatment]
- Biochemical Disease Free Survival [Time frame: Estimated at 2 years and 5 years following treatment]
- Patient-reported quality-of-life assessed by EPIC-26 and IPSS [Time frame: Baseline to 5-year follow-up]
