About this study

Patients with a diagnosis of high risk prostate cancer with a Gleason score of 8 or greater are eligible for this trial. The study will enroll 20 subjects in 3 years. This is a single-arm study including two parts. Part 1 will be a modified dose escalation and de-escalation study to determine maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) based on acute toxicity measures. Part 2 will be a cohort expansion study to further evaluate the safety and tolerability of the RP2D based on toxicities measured at 1 year.

For Part 1, the primary endpoint is to assess if a patient can undergo a radical prostatectomy after SBRT without a post-operative GU and/or GI grade 3 or higher toxicity (according to Clavien-Dindo Classification) at 30 days.

For Part 2, the primary endpoint is to assess GU and/or GI grade 3 or higher toxicity based on CTCAE v5.0 at 1 year.

The previously entered quality-of-life measure was removed to align the record with the primary and secondary endpoints as pre-specified in the IRB-approved protocol.

Exploratory objectives will include analysis of tumor and normal biopsied and resected tissue and serum markers and interpretation of interfraction and intrafraction MRIs.

Treatment and study plan

5 Gy x 5 fractions

Radiation

In the arm "Part 1 - Arm 5 Gy x 5 fractions" the participants will receive a dose of 5 Gy for each RT fraction for a total of 5 fractions (total dose 25 Gy).

6 Gy x 5 fractions

Radiation

In the arm "Part 1 - Arm 6 Gy x 5 fractions" the participants will receive a dose of 6 Gy for each RT fraction for a total of 5 fractions (total dose 30 Gy).

6.5 Gy x 5 fractions

Radiation

In the arm "Part 1 - Arm 6.5 Gy x 5 fractions" the participants will receive a dose of 6.5 Gy for each RT fraction for a total of 5 fractions (total dose 32.5 Gy).

maximum tolerated dose (6.5 Gy x 5 fractions)

Radiation

In the arm "Part 1 - MTD Expansion Cohort" participants will receive the dose established as the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) based on the previously tested dose levels.

recommended phase 2 dose (6.5 Gy x 5 fractions)

Radiation

In the arm "Part 2 - Arm RP2D" participants will receive the dose established as the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) based on the previously tested dose levels.

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Subjects Who Successfully Complete Radical Prostatectomy After SBRT Without a Post-operative DLT of Grade 3 or Higher (Part 1)

    Time frame: 1 month

    Part 1: Successful completion of radical prostatectomy after SBRT without a post-operative dose limiting toxicity (DLT) of grade 3 or higher within 1 month after prostatectomy according to the Clavien-Dindo Classification.

  2. Number of Gastric-intestinal (GI) and/or Genitor-urinary (GU) Adverse Events Equal or Higher G3 Related to Preoperative Radiotherapy According to the CTCAE v5.0 Measured at 1 Year (Part 2)

    Time frame: 1 year

    Part 2: Successful completion of radical prostatectomy after SBRT without a post-operative DLT of grade 3 or higher within 1 year after prostatectomy.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Acute Toxicity in Patients After Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) and Radical Prostatectomy (RP) Will be Assessed Based on NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 5.0 (Part 2).

    Time frame: 3 months

    Acute toxicity in patients after stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and radical prostatectomy (RP) will be assessed based on NCI Common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) version 5.0.
