About this study

Official title: Prospective Evaluation of Cyberknife Stereotactic Radiosurgery for Low and Low/Intermediate Risk Prostate Cancer

RATIONALE: Stereotactic radiation therapy may be able to send x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue.

PURPOSE: This trial is studying the side effects of stereotactic radiation therapy and to see how well it works in treating patients with prostate cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To estimate in both low- and low-to-intermediate-risk groups of patients with prostate cancer, the rate of acute toxicities observed during the 5 years following CyberKnife® stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS).

Secondary

  • To estimate the rate of late grade 3-5 toxicities after SRS in these patients.
  • To measure biochemical disease-free survival of patients treated with this therapy.
  • To measure rates of local failure, distant failure, disease-free survival, disease-specific survival, and overall survival of patients treated with this therapy.
  • To measure quality of life in generic and organ-specific domains in patients treated with this therapy.
  • To evaluate imaging modalities and their potential role in the detection of prostate cancer persistence, recurrence, and/or progression in patients treated with this therapy.

OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to risk group (low risk vs low/intermediate risk).

Patients undergo fiducial placement using ultrasound. At least 5-10 days later, patients undergo CyberKnife® stereotactic radiosurgery once daily for 5 days.

Patients complete 4 questionnaires at baseline and periodically during study to assess acute and late toxicities and quality of life (e.g., overall health status, patient function, sexual function, and urinary symptoms).

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed for up to 5 years.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Grade 3-5 Adverse Events as Assessed by NCI CTCAE v3.0

    This study's primary goal is to determine the rate of acute grade 3-5 toxicities following CyberKnife treatment. Per RTOG/ECOG, acute toxicity will be defined as occurring within 90 days of completing treatment.

    Measured: Within 90 days of completing treatment

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Number of Late Grade 3-5 Toxicities as Assessed by NCI CTCAE v3.0

    Late toxicity will be defined as toxicity occurring more than 90 days after treatment. It is graded based on Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v3.0, and RTOG/ECOG definitions.

    Measured: Within 5 years of completing treatment

  2. Biochemical Disease-free Survival

    PSA

    Measured: Assessed at months 3,6,12,18,24 and every 6 months through 5 years

  3. Disease-free Survival (Phoenix and ASTRO Definitions)

    Measured: Assessed yearly for 5 years

  4. Disease-specific Survival

    Measured: Assessed yearly for 5 years

  5. Overall Survival

    Measured: Assessed yearly for 5 years

  6. Rate of Local Failure

    Measured: Assessed at months 3,6,12,18,24 and every 12 months through 5 years

  7. Rate of Distant Failure

    Measured: Assessed at months 3,6,12,18,24 and every 12 months through 5 years

  8. Quality of Life as Measured by the Short Form-12 Health Survey, Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite, and the American Urological Association Symptom Index, and the Utilization of Sexual Medications/Devices

    Measured: Survey at 1,6,12 months and yearly up to 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing questionnaire administration, implanted fiducial-based imaging and stereotactic radiosurgery in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Case Comprehensive Cancer Center at 4 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Aug 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Aug 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Grade 3-5 Adverse Events as Assessed by NCI CTCAE v3.0 (time frame: Within 90 days of completing treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Aug 2019.
