Brief Title: A Phase I-II Dose Escalation Study of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy in Patients With Localized Prostate Cancer
Official Title: A Phase I-II Dose Escalation Study of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy in Patients With Localized Prostate Cancer
Study ID: NCT02254746
Brief Summary: The aim of this study is to test the safety and efficacy of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) in localized prostate carcinoma in patients for whom the standard treatment is the irradiation of the entire prostate gland with or without seminal vesicles accompanied or not by hormonal therapy. In light of the accumulating clinical evidence favoring the use of hypo fractionation, SBRT regimen might constitute a much more convenient non-invasive and highly efficient outpatient therapy.
Detailed Description: Primary objective phase I: To irradiate the prostate gland which might albeit contain microscopic disease with tumoricidal doses of SBRT, and to escalate the dose of SBRT in the visible prostatic tumor towards the best tumoricidal dose without exceeding the normal tissue tolerance and toxicity in patients with organ confined T2-T3 N0 prostate carcinoma. Primary objective phase II: To determine the rate of acute toxicity grade 2 or more defined as toxicity occurring immediately after the first fraction of radiotherapy and up to 90 days after the start of radiotherapy treatment. Secondary objectives phase II: * To determine efficacy measured by PSA failure using Phoenix definition. * To determine long-term late toxicity (\>90 days after treatment start). Exploratory endpoint phase II: • To determine the feasibility of achieving dose constraints in the organs at risk using high technology radiotherapy.
