Study summary

The aim of this trial is to study the safety outcomes of hypofractionated radiotherapy in treating patients with localized prostate cancer.

Hypofractionated radiotherapy delivers higher doses of radiotherapy in a shorter time period, may enabling the killing of more tumor cells with fewer side effects.

Accumulating evidence has proven the safety and feasibility of hypofractionated radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer.But for localized prostate cancer,the optimal dose per fraction of hypofractionated radiotherapy is still on its way.

Read the detailed description

The present study will be conducted as a prospective, open-label, single-arm clinical trial.

The patients will receive hypofractionated radiation(54 Gy in 15 daily fractions of 3.6 Gy ). After completion of study treatment, patients were followed up once a month for the first 3 months and once every 3 months after 3 months for a total of 5 years.

The primary endpoints of the study are the toxicities about gastrointestinal (GI),genitourinary (GU) symptoms and erectile dysfunction.The secondary endpoints include progression-free survival (bPFS), local progression-free-survival(LPFS) ,distant metastasis free survival(DMFS) ,overall survival (OS)and quality of life (QoL).

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of radiotherapy-related gastrointestinal and urogenital tract adverse events

    RTOG / EORTC scale, Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) 5.0, erectile dysfunction.

    Time frame: 5 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. biochemical progression-free survival (bPFS)

    The definition of biochemical failure is a PSA measurement ≥ PSA nadir + 2 ng/mL where nadir is the lowest post-RT PSA value.Time to biochemical failure is defined as time from randomization to the date of first biochemical failure, last known follow-up (censored), or death without biochemical failure (competing risk).

    Time frame: 5 years

  2. local progression-free-survival(LPFS)

    Response evaluation criteria in solid tumor(RECIST)1.1:To determine the outcome of treatment for solid tumors,The efficacy according the diameter of the lesion could be divided into complete response(CR),partial response(PR),stable disease(SD)and progressive disease(PD).

    Time frame: 5 years

  3. distant metastasis free survival(DMFS)

    Distant metastasis (failure) is defined as radiographic evidence of hematogenous spread evaluated by bone scan, CT, or MRI. Time to distant metastasis is defined as time from randomization to the date of first distant metastasis, last known follow-up (censored), or death without local recurrence (competing risk).

    Time frame: 5 years

  4. Overall survival (OS)

    Overall survival time is defined as time from registration/randomization to the date of death (failure) from any cause or last known follow-up (censored).

    Time frame: 5 years

  5. Quality of life (QoL)

    Expanded Prostate Cancer Index (EPIC-26):The EPIC is a prostate cancer health-related quality of life (HRQOL) self-administered instrument measuring patient-reported urinary, bowel, sexual, and hormonal symptoms related to prostate cancer treatments. Response options for each item form a Likert scale with scores transformed linearly to a 0-100 scale. Domain scores are also on a 0-100 scale with higher scores representing better HRQOL.

    Time frame: 5 years

  6. Physical Activity Rank Scale-3 (ARS-3)

    To assess the physical activity rank.The scale was compiled by Japanese psychologist KIMIO HASHIMOTO and introduced and revised by Liang Deqing from Wuhan Physical Education University. There are only 3 items in this scale, which adopts 5 grades from 1 to 5, and examines the level of physical activity from 3 aspects: intensity, time and frequency of participating in physical activity

    Time frame: 5 years
