Hyperthermia and High Dose Rate Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Recurrent Prostate Cancer After Radiation

NCT02899221

Description:

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best way to give hyperthermia and high dose rate radiation therapy in treating patients with prostate cancer that has come back after prior radiation treatment. Radiation therapy, such as high dose rate brachytherapy, uses radioactive material placed directly into or near a tumor to kill tumor cells. Hyperthermia therapy may make tumor cells more sensitive to the effects of radiation therapy by heating them to several degrees above normal body temperature. Giving hyperthermia and high dose rate radiation therapy may work better in treating patients with recurrent prostate cancer after radiation.

Purpose

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best way to give hyperthermia and high dose rate radiation therapy in treating patients with prostate cancer that has come back after prior radiation treatment. Radiation therapy, such as high dose rate brachytherapy, uses radioactive material placed directly into or near a tumor to kill tumor cells.

Giving hyperthermia and high dose rate radiation therapy may work better in treating patients with recurrent prostate cancer after radiation.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To assess the safety and feasibility of combined single fraction high dose rate (HDR)
      brachytherapy followed immediately by interstitial hyperthermia treatment of radio-recurrent
      prostate cancer.

      SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To assess long-term toxicity. II. To provide a preliminary assessment of efficacy. III. To
      obtain blood for future analysis of immune response to combined radiation therapy and
      hyperthermia.

NameTypeDescriptionInterventions
Treatment (high dose rate brachytherapy, hyperthermia)ExperimentalPatients undergo high dose rate brachytherapy for 15-30 minutes. Immediately after radiation therapy (no longer than 90 minutes), patients undergo interstitial hyperthermia treatment for up to 60 minutes.

                 hyperthermia treatment that the concurrent medical condition will neither interfere
                 with the process of the treatment or patient assessments nor add significantly to the
                 risks or complications of the treatment
