Prostate Cancer Clinical Trial
Radiation Therapy (Hypofractionated Proton Beam Therapy or IMRT) for the Treatment of Recurrent, Oligometastatic Prostate Cancer Following Primary Localized Treatment
Summary
This phase II trial studies the side effects of radiation therapy (hypofractionated proton beam therapy or IMRT) for the treatment of prostate cancer that has come back (recurrent) or that has spread to a limited number of sites (oligometastatic) following primary localized treatment. Hypofractionated proton beam radiation therapy delivers smaller doses of radiation therapy over time and may kill more tumor cells and have fewer side effects. IMRT uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. This trial is being done to find out if a shorter course of radiation therapy is better with fewer side effects for patients with recurrent prostate cancer.
Full Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To assess late >= grade 3 gastrointestinal (GI) and/or genitourinary (GU) toxicity of interest with the hypofractionated regimen with proton beam therapy or intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) (late defined as 3 to 24 months after protocol radiation therapy [RT]).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Late grade >= 2 GI and/or GU toxicities of interest within 24 months after the protocol RT, using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v)4.0.
II. Acute grade >= 3 GI and/or GU toxicities of interest during and within 3 months after the protocol RT, using the CTCAE v4.0.
III. Compare the rates of late >= grade 3 GI and/or GU toxicity between the 2 treatment schedules.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.
ARM I: Patients undergo proton beam radiation therapy 5 days a week over 3 weeks.
ARM II: Patients undergo IMRT 5 days a week over 5 weeks.
After completion of study, patients are followed up at 3-6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, and 60 months.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
Male; age >= 18 years

Zubrod performance score (PS) =< 1
Signed informed consent
Exclusion Criteria:
Bone or visceral metastases present
Lymph node metastases beyond the pelvis and/or retroperitoneum

Contraindications to androgen suppression
Concurrent antineoplastic agents (chemotherapy)
Previous or concurrent malignancy other than non-melanoma skin cancer within 5 years of diagnosis of prostate cancer
Inability to start the radiation portion of the protocol treatment within 6 months after study enrollment
