Description:

A phase I trial to determine the safety of delivering three sequentially shorter RT schedules (20, 16, and 12 fractions) of HypoFx pelvic nodal RT in combination with a HypoFx, simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) to the prostate that have been designed to incrementally increased the biological equivalent dose (BED) to prostate cancer, while maintaining a constant BED to normal tissue toxicity.

Purpose

A phase I trial to determine the safety of delivering three sequentially shorter RT schedules (20, 16, and 12 fractions) of HypoFx pelvic nodal RT in combination with a HypoFx, simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) to the prostate that have been designed to incrementally increased the biological equivalent dose (BED) to prostate cancer, while maintaining a constant BED to normal tissue toxicity.

Detailed Description

      Outcomes for patients with unfavorable intermediate-risk and high-risk prostate cancer (PC)
      have been historically poor and are now known to require multimodality treatment. A standard
      non-surgical treatment option for patients with localized, intermediate and high-risk PC is
      radiation therapy (RT) in combination with short- or long-term androgen deprivation therapy
      (ADT).

      The benefit of pelvic nodal RT in this setting is unclear, previous studies have been
      equivocal. There is a growing body of evidence to demonstrate that use of hypofractionated
      (HypoFx) RT may be a safe method for increasing the dose of RT, while also decreasing normal
      tissue toxicity.
    

Trial Arms

NameTypeDescriptionInterventions
Dose Level 1ExperimentalDose schedules were calculated to maintain similar BED for late normal tissue injury (α/β= 3.0 Gy), with an increased BED for PC (α/β= 1.5Gy). Patients be treated with 20 fractions. A total of 6 patients will be treated at the dose that is determined to be Maximum Tolerated Dose.
    Dose Level 2ExperimentalDose schedules were calculated to maintain similar BED for late normal tissue injury (α/β= 3.0 Gy), with an increased BED for PC (α/β= 1.5Gy). Patients be treated with 16 fractions. A total of 6 patients will be treated at the dose that is determined to be Maximum Tolerated Dose.
      Dose Level 3ExperimentalDose schedules were calculated to maintain similar BED for late normal tissue injury (α/β= 3.0 Gy), with an increased BED for PC (α/β= 1.5Gy). Patients be treated with 12 fractions. A total of 6 patients will be treated at the dose that is determined to be Maximum Tolerated Dose.
