Brief Summary

There is significant, proven use of radiation for recurrent prostate cancer after surgical resection. This treatment typically is delivered over seven and a half weeks of daily treatments, presenting a burden to patients and the health care system. Stereotactic body radiation (SBRT) is a radiation technique in which large doses are delivered over a short period of time. To date there is extremely limited evidence in SBRT for recurrent prostate cancer after surgery, with a significantly growing body of evidence for primary SBRT treatment of prostate cancer in men who opt for non-surgical upfront treatment. Additionally, advances in imaging have allowed better detection of the site of recurrence, and novel artificial intelligence aided daily-adaptive radiation therapy have allowed more precise delivery of radiation doses. This study seeks to evaluate the role of Daily-Adaptive with AI-assisted SBRT in the post operative setting utilizing Ethos Plan Adaptive technology in attempt to maintain control and minimize side effects.

Detailed Description

This will be a two cohort Phase II single center, prospective trial, with a safety lead-in component. This design will allow an initial toxicity assessment phase of a novel radiation treatment schema that is based on other literature, but with limited evidence. There is no plan to escalate the dose. Pending assessment of the safety lead in, complete enrollment will be permitted. Each cohort will be analyzed separated for the safety lead in. There will be 7 patients in the safety lead in cohorts. The stopping point will be an incidence of 2 cases of CTCAE v5.0 Grade 3+ acute toxicity attributed to therapy within gastrointestinal or urinary domains. This generally entails symptoms significant enough to require a procedure or limit basic levels of daily activity (bathing, cooking). Actue toxicity of a comparable magnitude has been reported in the 1-5% rate in a recent meta-analysis of contemporary trials which utilized standard of care radiation. Thus two cases would represent an unacceptable increased toxicity level, and a cohort size of 7 is approximate the commonly accepted size in Phase I escalation studies to evaluate dose limiting toxicity.

Conditions

Recurrent Prostate Cancer After Surgery

Study Design

• Allocation Method: NON_RANDOMIZED
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: NONE

Study Groups

1 - Prostate bed only recurrence

Patients with confirmed radiologic recurrence of their prostate cancer in the defined region of the previous prostate surgery - commonly referred to as the prostate surgical bed.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Daily-adaptive Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy

Intervention Type: RADIATION

Daily-adaptive radiation therapy to two dose levels - one to the area of radiologic recurrent nodal disease, and a lower, prophylactic dose to the standard post-prostatectomy and larger pelvic node fields

2- Pelvic nodal with or without a prostate bed recurrence

Patients who have a radiologic recurrence of prostate cancer in the pelvic node region

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Daily-adaptive Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy

Intervention Type: RADIATION

Daily-adaptive radiation therapy to two areas - a high dose to the area of radiologic recurrence, and a lower, prophylactic dose to the standard post-prostatectomy fields

Interventions
