Post-prostatectomy Radiation Therapy--Moderate Versus Ultra-hypofractionated (Also Known as Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy [SBRT])
A Phase II Randomized Trial of Moderate Versus Ultra-hypofractionated Post-prostatectomy Radiation Therapy
Who can join
Ages 18 and older · Men
Full eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Men age ≥ 18 with histologically confirmed prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy with a PSA ≥ 0.1 ng/mL * Interval between prostatectomy and planned radiation therapy start date ≥ 6 months * KPS ≥ 70 * Patients with equivocal pelvic lymph nodes on imaging are eligible if the nodes are ≤ 1.5 cm in the short axis (equivocal evidence of metastatic disease outside of the pelvis on standard imaging requires documented negative biopsy) * Ability to complete the EPIC-26 quality of life questionnaire * Ability to obtain tissue from radical prostatectomy specimen for review by Michigan Medicine Pathology * Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Prior history of pelvic radiation therapy * History of moderate/severe or active Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis * History of bladder neck or urethral stricture * Evidence of distant metastatic disease or nodal involvement beyond the common iliac vessels * Initiation of androgen deprivation therapy with a LHRH / GnRH agonist or antagonist greater than 6 months prior to enrollment or receipt of any non-LHRH / GnRH agonist or antagonist androgen deprivation or anti-androgen therapy * History of another invasive malignancy within the previous 3 years except for adequately treated squamous or basal cell skin cancer * Any condition that in the opinion of the investigator would preclude participation in this study
About the study
The primary purpose of this study is to compare the quality of life (QOL) reported by prostate cancer patients 2 years after treatment with ultra-hypofractionated post-prostatectomy radiation therapy (also known as stereotactic body radiation therapy \[SBRT\]) versus the self-reported QOL of those treated with moderately hypo-fractionated post-prostatectomy radiation (a current standard of care option).
