Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of CyberKnife radiosurgery in patients with early stage organ-confined prostate cancer.

Detailed description

The CyberKnife Robotic Radiosurgery System is a unique radiosurgical system capable of treating tumors anywhere in the body noninvasively and with sub-millimeter accuracy. The CyberKnife System delivers radiation using a precise targeting methodology allowing a focal treatment margin around the target, thus limiting the volume of adjacent tissue receiving high doses radiation. This in turn allows the delivery of high doses of radiation to the prostate over a short series of treatments.

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Risk for Gastrointestinal (GI) and Genitourinary (GU) ToxicityPrimary Safety Endpoint was measured at 5 years. Sites and patients had the option of continuing follow-up through 10 years.To estimate the rates of acute and late Grade 3-5 gastrointestinal and genitourinary toxicities (adverse events \[AE\]) observed during the 5 years following CyberKnife (CK) treatment for prostate cancer. Kaplan Meier estimates for 5-yr and 10-yr are reported. Adverse events occurring within 3 months of treatment were categorized as acute toxicities, and those developing after 3 months were considered late toxicities. The rates were determined using the first Grade 3 or higher adverse event per patient, reported as possibly, probably, or definitely related to CK treatment. The Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 3.0 was used to determine the Grade or severity of adverse events in this study, with Grade 3 being severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening, Grade 4 being life-threatening and Grade 5 being death related to the adverse event.
Biochemical Disease-Free Survival (bDFS)Primary Efficacy Endpoint was measured at 5 years. Sites and patients had the option of continuing follow-up through 10 years.To determine the rate of biochemical Disease-Free Survival (bDFS), using the Phoenix definition, following CyberKnife treatment. Kaplan Meier estimates for 5-yr and 10-yr are reported. The Phoenix definition uses a Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) value exceeding the patient's lowest PSA value (nadir) + 2 ng/mL as an indicator of disease recurrence. The percentage of patients who did not have such a PSA rise or receive any interventional therapy to treat prostate cancer are reported below.
