Hypo-fractionated Radiation Therapy With or Without Androgen Suppression for Intermediate Risk Prostate Cancer

Phase III Study of Image Guided Radiation Therapy With or Without Androgen Suppression for Intermediate Risk Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate

• Status: Recruiting
• Phase: Phase 3
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 192 (estimated)
• Sponsor: Proton Collaborative Group · Network
• Sex: Male
• Age: 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Not accepted

Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects, good and/or bad of two treatment methods on subjects and their cancer. Proton beam radiation therapy is one of the treatments for men with prostate cancer who have localized disease. The benefit of the combination with androgen suppression is not completely understood. This study will compare the use of hypofraction proton therapy (28 treatments) alone to proton therapy with androgen suppression therapy.

Conditions

• Prostate Cancer

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
RADIATION	Radiation	Consists of: 1. Conformal Proton Radiation Dose: 2.5 Gy (RBE) five days a week in 28 treatments over 5.5-6.5 weeks (total dose: 70 Gy (RBE)) 2. High Dose Radiation with IMRT alone: 1.8 Gy five days a week in 45 treatments over 9-10 weeks (total dose: 81 Gy) 3. Intraoperative LDR Brachytherapy and IMRT: 100Gy Pad103 implant and IMRT 1.8 Gy five days a week in 25 treatments over 5-6 weeks (total dose: 45 Gy)
DRUG	Androgen Suppression Therapy	Androgen suppression will begin 8 - 10 weeks prior to the start of RT for a total of 6 (+/- 2) months. Luteinizing Hormone-Releasing Hormone (LHRH) agonist therapy will consist of analogs approved by the FDA (or by Health Canada for Canadian institutions)
