Clinical Trials Phase III
https://clinicaltrials.gov.itStudy of Hypo-fractionated Proton Radiation for Low Risk Prostate Cancer
(PCG)
àRandomized
àcT1a-T2a N0 M0, GS <6, PSA < 10
à5 fractions (7.6 Gy(RBE) x 5) VS 44 fractions (1.8 Gy(RBE) x 44)
àPrimary Outcome: to assess if hypo-fractionation will result in 2-year freedom from failure (FFF) that is non-
inferior to 2-year FFF following standard fractionation Secondary Outcome: To evaluate toxicity (GU/GI) and QoL
àSecondary outcome: grade 2 or greater GU and GI toxicity in each of the regimens.
Hypo-fractionated Radiation Therapy With or Without Androgen Suppression for Intermediate Risk
Prostate Cancer.
(Proton Collaborative Group)
àRandomized
àGS 7, PSA > = 10 and < = 20, T stage T2b - T2c N0 M0
àTotal Dose=70 Gy(RBE) OR High Dose Radiation with IMRT Alone=81 Gy OR Intraoperative LDR
Brachytherapy and IMRT=45 Gy +/- ADT
àPrimary Outcome: freedom from failure (FFF) (clinical or biochemical failure)
àSecondary outcome: Frequency and severity of GI and GU toxicity, QoL
Protontherapy vs. IMRT for Low or Intermediate Risk Prostate Cancer (PARTIQoL)
(MGH)
à
Randomized
àcT1c-T2c, GS < 7, PSA < 20
àPBT vs. IMRT once a day for 5 days (no weekends or holidays) for up to 9 weeks
àPrimary Outcome: Efficacy of PBT vs. IMRT
àSecondary outcome: QoL, Cost Effectiveness of PBT vs. IMRT, Radiation Dose and Bowel, Urinary and Erectile
Function, Identification and Evaluation Biomarkers of PCa Behavior, Long Term Survival.
