Brief summary

This randomized phase III trial studies the success rate of definitive radiation therapy (dRT) for prostate cancer (PCa) with or without planning based on PSMA PET. PSMA- PET-based dRT, may improve radiation therapy planning and patient selection for dRT, and potentially improve its outcome compared to dRT without PSMA PET (standard dRT).

Detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To compare the outcome of patients with unfavorable intermediate (IR) and high-risk (HR) prostate cancer (PCa) after standard dRT versus prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET)-based dRT. OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms. In both arms, no other primary treatment should be given before RT. Arm I: Patients do not undergo PSMA PET for dRT planning. Patients undergo standard of care dRT at the discretion of the treating radiation oncologist. Arm II: Patients undergo PSMA PET for dRT planning. Patients then undergo dRT at the discretion of the treating radiation oncologist, who receives the PSMA PET result and images. After completion of dRT, clinical follow-up of patients with their treating radiation oncologist will be obtained for 5 years. The investigators will rely on the medical records obtained from the treating physicians as the primary source of outcome data.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Success rate of definitive radiation therapy (dRT)From date of randomization to first occurrence of progression, assessed up to 5 yearsWill be measured as progression-free survival after initiation of dRT. Progression is defined as (whichever occurs first): A biochemical recurrence defined as a rise by 2 ng/mL or more above the nadir prostate specific antigen (PSA) (defined as the lowest PSA achieved) after radiotherapy with or without short-term hormonal therapy, appearance of metastasis or loco-regional recurrence (diagnosed by any imaging or biopsy), initiation of any new salvage therapy or death from any cause. Survival curves will be constructed using the Kaplan-Meier method.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Metastasis-free survival after initiation of radiation therapy (RT)Up to 5 years after the date of randomizationDiagnosis of extra-pelvic metastatic (M1) disease can be obtained by any imaging or biopsy.
Overall survivalUp to 5 years after the date of randomization
Loco-regional progression free survivalUp to 5 years after the date of randomizationDiagnosis of local recurrence or pelvic nodal disease (N1) can be obtained by any imaging or biopsy.
PSMA positron emission tomography (PET) derived predictors of progression-free survivalUp to 5 years after the date of randomizationWill use Cox-proportional hazards regression to assess PSMA PET predictors of progression-free survival.
PSMA PET derived predictors of overall survivalUp to 5 years after the date of randomizationWill use Cox-proportional hazards regression to assess PSMA PET predictors of overall survival.
Change in initial treatment intentBaseline up to 5 years after the date of randomizationWill estimate the proportion of subjects in the prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) group that have a change in the initial treatment intent and compute a 95% confidence interval for that proportion.
