Official title
Alternative Boost Approaches in Radiation Therapy IRreversible Electroporation Versus RADIAtioN BoosT for Intermediate Risk Prostate Cancer (IRRADIANT)
Overview
In this study the investigators will find out whether the use of a new type of boost approach called irreversible electroporation (IRE) is as effective as the standard boost approach of radiation therapy for participants with intermediate-risk prostate cancer receiving standard stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT).
Interventions
- Device NanoKnife System
The NanoKnife System is the device that is used for Irreversible Electroporation/IRE. The NanoKnife Generator is a microprocessor-controlled low energy direct current (LEDC) irreversible electroporation device. - Radiation Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy
Radiation-based treatment intensification involves delivery of a boost to the dominant intraprostatic lesion (DIL) to a higher dose than the surrounding prostate tissue using external beam radiation therapy.
Primary outcome measures
- Biopsy negative rate at 2 years [Time frame: 2 years]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
- Biopsy proven grade group 2 or 3 (GS 3+4 or GS 4+3) cancer with all pattern 4 found only in the MRI target; systematic biopsy pattern 4 that is concordant with MRI target per investigator is permissible
- Gland size ≤ 80 cc
- Prostate MRI < rT3b disease
- IPSS < 20
- No contraindication to IRE, RT, anesthesia, or transperineal procedure
Exclusion criteria
- Any Grade Group ≥4 disease, or any cribriform and/or intraductal carcinoma
- Evidence of nodal or /metastatic disease on MRI and/or PSMA PET/CT
- Unfit for general anesthesia, or contraindication/hypersensitivity to required neuromuscular blocking agents
- Active urinary tract infection (UTI) at the time of IRE or biopsy; must be treated and resolved prior to proceeding
- Actively bleeding, known bleeding disorder, or inability to interrupt anticoagulants/antiplatelet therapy as clinically indicated for biopsy/IRE safety
- Any history of cardiac arrhythmia or epilepsy, or recent myocardial infarction, consistent with NanoKnife contraindication statements
- Presence of an implanted pacemaker/defibrillator or other active implanted electronic device, or other device-related contraindications per current NanoKnife labeling/user manual
- Inability to undergo pelvic MRI
- Prior treatment of prostate cancer including androgen deprivation therapy, focal therapy, radiation therapy, or prostatectomy
- Current or intended use of androgen deprivation therapy
