Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare radiation therapy with no further treatment in treating patients with stage III prostate cancer following radical prostatectomy.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
* Compare local recurrence rates, acute and late morbidity, overall survival, disease-free survival, and cancer-related survival of patients with pT3 pN0 adenocarcinoma of the prostate randomized following radical prostatectomy to postoperative conventional pelvic irradiation (60 Gy) vs no further treatment until relapse.
* Better define the selective pathologic indications for radiotherapy in patients with pT3 pN0 disease.
OUTLINE: This is a randomized study.
* Arm I: Patients undergo radiotherapy daily, 5 days a week, for 5 weeks, followed by boost radiotherapy for 1-1.4 weeks.
* Arm II: Patients are observed. Local relapse is treated with conventional pelvic radiotherapy.
Patients are followed every 3 months during the first postoperative year, every 6 months until the fifth year, and annually thereafter.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 1000 patients will be accrued for this study within 7.5 years.
