Description

Summary

This is a single center single arm prospective pilot study investigating the safety of high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy as monotherapy delivered in 2 fractions 3 hours apart. HDR monotherapy has been established as safe and effective in this context, however previous studies have delivered 2 fractions on separate days, or at least 6 hours apart. Clinically, this regimen, if shown to be safe and effective in future studies, has the potential to reduce operative resources and logistical stresses on brachytherapy departments.

Official Title

Two-fraction High Dose Rate Brachytherapy as Monotherapy Delivered Three Hours Apart in Localized Prostate Cancer: A Pilot Study

Details

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the safety of HDR monotherapy 13.5 Gy x 2 fractions delivered 3 hours apart in patients with low and intermediate risk prostate cancer. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To describe the prostate specific antigen (PSA) kinetics associated with HDR brachytherapy monotherapy 13.5 Gy x 2 fractions delivered 3 hours apart for low and intermediate risk prostate cancer. II. To describe international prostate symptom score (IPSS) changes from baseline after treatment. OUTLINE: Treatment will be administered on an outpatient basis. All treatment will be delivered over a single day. Participants will be followed for 2 years after last treatment or removal from study, or until death, whichever occurs first.

  7. Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
  8. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals on effective anti-retroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months are eligible for this trial.
  9. For participants with evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the HBV viral load must be undetectable on suppressive therapy, if indicated.
  10. . Individuals with a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have been treated and cured. For individuals with HCV infection who are currently on treatment, they are eligible if they have an undetectable HCV viral load.

  3. Is currently receiving any other investigational agents.
  4. Abnormal pre-brachytherapy assessment raising concern for undergoing HDR brachytherapy procedure.
  5. Contraindications to general anesthesia.
  6. Contraindications to radiotherapy.
