Trial Arms

NameTypeDescriptionInterventions
HDR brachytherapyExperimental-All patients will be treated with a single implant and single HDR fraction. Treatment will be delivered within a single 24-hour period measured from the beginning of the implant procedure. All patients will receive a dose of 23 Gy.

    Eligibility Criteria

            Inclusion Criteria:
    
              -  Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of early stage prostate cancer.
    
              -  Must be considered either low-risk (T1-T2a, Gleason ≤ 6, PSA < 10 ng/mL) or favorable
                 intermediate-risk (Gleason 3 +4 = 7, percentage of positive biopsy cores < 50%, no
                 more than one NCCN intermediate risk factor).
    
              -  Prior androgen deprivation therapy is allowed and may have been initiated up to 6
                 months prior to the date of the HDR implant. The complete duration of androgen
                 deprivation therapy can range from 4 months to 36 months provided it has been
                 initiated no more than 6 months prior to the date of the HDR implant.
    
              -  At least 18 years of age.
    
              -  ECOG performance status ≤ 2
    
              -  Able to understand and willing to sign an IRB approved written informed consent
                 document (or that of legally authorized representative, if applicable).
    
            Exclusion Criteria:
    
              -  Prior radiation therapy to the prostate or lower pelvis encompassing the prostate.
    
              -  A history of other malignancy ≤ 5 years previous with the exception of basal cell or
                 squamous cell carcinoma of the skin which were treated with local resection only.
    
              -  Currently receiving any other investigational agents.
    
              -  Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active
                 infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, or cardiac
                 arrhythmia.
    
              -  Unable to undergo general, spinal or local anesthesia.
    
              -  Prior TURP
          
    Maximum Eligible Age:N/A
    Minimum Eligible Age:18 Years
    Eligible Gender:Male
    Healthy Volunteers:No

    Primary Outcome Measures

    Measure:Biochemical control experienced by patients with prostate cancer treated with an HDR implant
    Time Frame:Through 3 years after implant
    Safety Issue:
    Description:-Response will be determined by PSA. The Phoenix definition will be used for determining biochemical failure: a rise of 2 ng/mL or more above the PSA nadir

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    Measure:Rate of acute toxicity experienced by patients with prostate cancer treated with an HDR implant
    Time Frame:Through 3 years after implant
    Safety Issue:
    Description:-The descriptions and grading scales found in the revised NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 will be utilized for all toxicity reporting.
    Measure:Rate of late toxicity experienced by patients with prostate cancer treated with an HDR implant
    Time Frame:Through 3 years after implant
    Safety Issue:
    Description:-The descriptions and grading scales found in the revised NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 will be utilized for all toxicity reporting.
