Trial Outcomes & Findings for Phase I/II Hypofractionated Radiotherapy for Prostate Cancer (NCT NCT00214097)

NCT ID: NCT00214097

Last Updated: 2019-11-25

Results Overview

To evaluate acute tolerances to dose-per-fraction escalation in the treatment of prostate cancer using optimized treatment of Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), daily rectal balloon displacement, and transabdominal ultrasound localization of the prostate. For toxicities observed within the first 10 patients at each hypofractionation level, ≥20% acute grade 3 or higher GI or genitourinary (GU) toxicity will constitute a threshold toxicity level and will dictate a decrease in frequency of treatment by one treatment per week. Maximum tolerated dose is reached if 20% of participants experience acute toxicities grade 3 or higher.

Population: Unavailable quality of life questionnaires at year 3. All mean scores were adjusted for missing data. The missing data for questionnaires were handled by weighted mean imputation. Cases with more than half of the total questions missing were not included.

The Fox Chase Bowel/Bladder survey was divided into two sections: Bowel (questions 1 to 14, N=14) and Bladder (questions 19, and 21 to 30, N=11). To facilitate analysis, Bowel and Bladder scores for each section were rescaled to a total score of between 0 - 100, where higher scores indicated better Quality of Life (QoL). Results for the Bowel Section are reported here.

The IIEF is a 15-item survey where 9-items are scored 0-5 and 6-items are scored 1-5 with a total range of 6-75. The standard scoring mechanism was used for IIEF, where the QoL items corresponded to the following domains: erectile function (score range 1-30), orgasmic function (score range 1-10), sexual desire (score range 2-10), intercourse satisfaction (score range 0-15), and overall satisfaction (score range 2-10). Higher numbers indicate increased QoL.

The SQLI is composed of five items (activity, daily living, health, support, outlook) scored utilizing a numerical scale of 0-2. Standard scoring was also used for the SQLI survey (total score range 0-10) where higher score indicate increased QoL.
