Optimal Prostate Study

NAACTIVE_NOT_RECRUITING

To compare the toxicity, rate of local control, biochemical failure rate and quality of life of three different radiotherapy techniques (moderate hypofractionation, stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and standard radiotherapy plus 2 fractions of SBRT (BOOSTER).

Study details:

Participants must have histologically proven prostate adenocarcinoma, good performance status and suitable for high dose radiotherapy. There are two groups of participants:. Group 1: eligible participants will be randomised to have either moderate hypofractionation or standard radiotherapy plus SBRT (BOOSTER).

Participants in this group must be able to have MRI, prostate fiducial markers (gold markers)and hydrogel insertion. Fiducial markers will be used to locate the prostate accurately during radiation treatment. Hydrogel is a temporary gel being injected into the space between the prostate and rectum to reduce the dose of radiation received by the rectum to minimise side effects from the treatment.

Group 2: eligible participants will be randomised to have either moderate hypofractionation or SBRT. Participants will be reviewed for side effects. A Safety Committee will be formed containing multi-disciplinary team members.

All serious adverse will be reported to the principal investigator and Human Research Ethics Committee within 24 hours.

Study Plan

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.

How is the study designed?

Participant Group/ArmIntervention/Treatment
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Optimal SBRT
  • Participants in this group will be randomised to either SBRT ( 36 to 45 GY in 5 fractions) or standard radiotherapy (60 Gy in 20 fractions). The allocation is 2 to 1. This means that two thirds of the participants on the trial will get the SBRT (5 treatments) and one third will get the standard fractions.
Radiation: Optimal SBRT
    ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Optimal Booster
    • Participants in this group will be randomised to either standard radiotherapy plus SBRT (45 Gy in 20 fractions plus 20-30 Gy in 2 fractions-Booster) or standard radiotherapy (60 Gy in 20 fractions). The allocation is 2 to 1. This means that two thirds of the participants on the trial will get the Booster arm and one third will get the standard fractions.
