RAdiation Dose TAiloRing Guided by Enhanced Targeting
University of California, San Diego
Summary
This is a phase II non-blinded randomized controlled trial of image-guided, tumor-focused radiotherapy in patients with intermediate- or high-risk prostate cancer planning to undergo definitive radiotherapy with or without systemic therapy. The image-guided, tumor-focused radiotherapy will be compared to standard, whole-prostate treatment. The investigators hypothesize that tumor-focused radiotherapy reduces the radiation dose to organs close to the prostate, possibly leading to decreased acute toxicity to the genitourinary and gastrointestinal organs. The investigators will measure acute and late genitourinary and gastrointestinal toxicity due to radiation and regardless of cause. The investigators will also measure overall survival, metastasis-free survival, and quality of life, as well as biomarkers that may help predict, in the future, who may have a worse toxicity following radiation therapy.
Description
Definitive radiation therapy for prostate cancer with dose intensification and/or focal boosting has excellent oncologic outcomes. However, many patients experience long-term toxicity in particular to the genitourinary and gastrointestinal organs, impacting their quality of life. Given the excellent survivorship after definitive prostate cancer treatment, there is interest in identifying strategies that can improve the therapeutic ratio and minimize toxicity while maintaining excellent oncologic outcomes. Intraprostatic recurrence after definitive radiation therapy occurs at the site of the pr…
