Study summary

DESTINATION 2 is a multi-centre randomised trial treating intermediate risk localised prostate cancer with 2 fraction Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT). All radiotherapy will be delivered in two fractions (sessions) on an MR Linac using daily adaptation. Men will either receive uniform dose radiotherapy or de-escalated dose radiotherapy. The primary endpoint is acute GU CTCAE v5 grade 2+ toxicity. It will also look at late toxicity, patient-reported outcome measures and PSA control.

Read the detailed description

24 patients meeting inclusion criteria will be randomised between two arms. Arm 1 (Uniform dose) will receive 27 Gy in 2 fractions to the whole prostate + seminal vesicles (SV), the CTV, with 0 mm CTV-PTV margin. Arm 2 (De-escalated dose) will use two dose levels: The benign prostate (on MRI) will receive 20 Gy in 2 fractions with a 0mm PTV margin. The intraprostatic tumour mass(es) as seen on MRI will receive 27 Gy in 2 fractions. A 4mm GTV-PTV margin will be added to the MR visible tumour to form PTV 27Gy. The primary endpoint is emergent acute GU CTCAE v5 Grade 2+ toxicity, recorded within 3 months of completing radiotherapy. Secondary endpoints are CT CAE v5 acute GI toxicity, late toxicity, patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) (EPIC-26, IPSS, and IIEF-5) at 4 and 12 weeks, 6 months, 1 and 2 years post treatment, PSA control and kinetics

  5. MRI-visible tumour(s) of PIRADS v2 grade 3 or higher and able to be delineated on T2 and diffusion-weighted imaging +/- dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging. Tumour nodule visible on MRI should be considered able to be boosted by treating clinician and \<2.5cm in maximal dimension
  6. The MRI-defined lesion must be confirmed as malignant on biopsies (Gleason grade must be within the limits expressed in inclusion factor 3)
  7. Short course (\< 6 months) concurrent androgen deprivation therapy (antiandrogens or LHRH analogues) allowed though not mandated as per the discretion of the treating physician.
  8. PSA \<20 ng/ml prior to starting ADT, if used
  9. WHO Performance status 0-2
  10. Ability of the participant understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent form.
  11. Ability/willingness to comply with the patient reported outcome questionnaires schedule throughout the study.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Contraindications to MRI (e.g. pacemaker, potentially mobile metal implant, claustrophobia)
  2. IPSS Score > 19
  3. High grade disease (GG3) occult to MRI-defined lesion.
  4. Prostate volume >90cc
  5. Comorbidities which predispose to significant toxicity (e.g. inflammatory bowel disease) or preclude long term follow up
  6. Hip replacement, or other pelvic metalwork which causes significant artefact on diffusion-weighted imaging
  7. Previous pelvic radiotherapy
  8. Patients needing >6 months of ADT due to disease parameters, as per the discretion of the treating physician
  9. Previous invasive malignancy within the last 2 years where this is likely to shorten lifespan the following will remain eligible: basal or squamous carcinomas of the skin, low risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (assuming cystoscopic follow up now negative) or small renal masses on surveillance.

Study arms

  • Active comparator
    Uniform dose

    Arm 1 (Uniform dose) will receive 27 Gy in 2 fractions to the whole prostate + seminal vesicles (SV), the CTV, with 0 mm CTV-PTV margin.

    Radiation: Prostate radical radiotherapy

  • Experimental
    De-escalated dose

    Arm 2 (De-escalated dose) will use two dose levels: The benign prostate (on MRI) will receive 20 Gy in 2 fractions with a 0mm PTV margin. The intraprostatic tumour mass(es) as seen on MRI will receive 27 Gy in 2 fractions. A 4mm GTV-PTV margin will be added to the MR visible tumour to form PTV 27Gy.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Acute GU toxicity

    To describe the absolute risk and relative risk reduction of acute genitourinary (GU) toxicity (CTCAE v5) when delivering de-escalated two fraction prostate SBRT compared to uniform dose two fraction prostate stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for intermediate risk prostate cancer.

    Time frame: 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Acute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0 (CTCAE v5.0) toxicity

    To describe the absolute and relative risk of toxicity

    Time frame: Baseline, at completion of radiotherapy, Week 2, Week 4, and Week 12

  2. Late Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0 (CTCAE v5.0) toxicity

    To describe the absolute and relative risk of toxicity

    Time frame: Month 6, 12, 24

  3. Feasibility of radiation delivery

    Feasibility- estimate percentage of fractions interrupted due to patient discomfort

    Time frame: During each treatment fraction

  4. Dosimetry

    Dosimetry- estimate the accumulated dose differences between the de-escalated and uniform dose delivery

    Time frame: During each treatment fraction

  5. Patient reported outcome measures

    To assess baseline, acute and late International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS). IPSS ranges from 0 to 35. Lower scores are better: A lower score indicates fewer or less severe urinary symptoms, while a higher score suggests more severe symptoms.

    Time frame: Baseline, at completion of radiotherapy, Week 2, Week 4, Week 12, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years after treatment completion

  6. Patient reported outcome measures

    Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite Short Form (EPIC-26). EPIC-26 scores are transformed to a 0-100 scale for each domain.The questionnaire usually covers urinary incontinence, urinary irritative/obstructive symptoms, bowel, sexual, and hormonal functions. Higher scores represent better health-related quality of life.

    Time frame: Baseline, 4 and 12 weeks, 6 months, 1 and 2 years post treatment.

  7. Patient reported outcome measures

    International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5). The IIEF-5 score ranges from 5 to 25. Higher scores are better: A higher score indicates better erectile function, while a lower score suggests more severe erectile dysfunction.

    Time frame: Baseline, 6 months, 1 and 2 years post treatment.

  8. PSA kinetics

    To assess biochemical relapse-free survival at 2 years

    Time frame: Baseline (prior to starting ADT), Week 12, Month 6, Year 1, and Year 2 after treatment completion

Individual participant data

Plan to share: Yes — It is intended that data will be shared within the MOMENTUM collaboration, between centres delivering treatment in the same way as DESTINATION2. Pseudonymised data will be stored within MOMENTUM for at least 5 years. Storage will be cloud based and as the treating centre we will have free access to the data and control over who else can assess it.
