Study summary

This is a phase II randomized controlled clinical trial to assess the toxicities and clinical efficacy of prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography / computed tomography (PET/CT) and multi- parameter Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) guided simultaneous integrated boost for prostate cancer.

Read the detailed description

Local recurrences of prostate cancer following radiotherapy often originate from the primary tumor site. Therefore,focal boost to the primary gross tumor has been proposed to increase biochemical disease-free survival (bDFS) without increasing toxicity.

The higher relative biological effectiveness (RBE) and greater cytocidal effect on the intrinsic radiation resistant cancer cells offer carbon ion radiotherapy (CIRT) advantages over conventional radiotherapy. In this study, carbon ion were used to treat localized prostate cancer and simultaneous integrated boost to the gross tumor in the prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT and multi- parameter MRI.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Acute toxicities

    Treatment related acute toxicity assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03

    Time frame: Within 3 months of the start of CIRT

Secondary outcomes

  1. Late toxicities

    Treatment related late toxicity assessed by Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) scale

    Time frame: 3 months after the completion of CIRT

  2. Biochemical failure free survival

    The prostate specific antigen less than nadir plus 2ng/ml (Phoenix definition)

    Time frame: From the complation of CIRT,a median of 5 years

  3. Overall survival

    The time from diagnosis to death from any cause

    Time frame: From the diagnosis of prostate cancer,a median of 5 years

  4. Progression free survival

    The time from complation of CIRT to tumor progression or death

    Time frame: From the complation of CIRT,a median of 5 years

Other outcomes

  1. The quality of life-International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS)

    IPSS would be used to assess the severity of lower urinary tract symptoms, based on the answers to seven questions regarding urinary symptoms (incomplete emptying, frequency, intermittency, urgency, weak stream, straining, and nocturia). Total IPSS score: 1-7: Mild; 8-19: Moderate; 20-35: Severe

    Time frame: From the complation of CIRT, a median of 5 years

  2. The quality of life-Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC)

    EPIC would be used to evaluate the urinary, bowel, and sexual symptoms. The EPIC is a patient reported outcomes instrument designed to evaluate bowel, urinary, sexual and hormonal domains both during and after irradiation of the pelvis.For each domain, responses are provided on a 5-point Likert scale, and multi-item scale scores are transformed linearly to a scale of 0 to 100, where higher scores correspond to better quality of life.

    Time frame: From the complation of CIRT, a median of 5 years
