Brief summary

This phase 2/3 randomized trial evaluates whether dose escalation to the dominant intra-prostatic lesion (DIL) compared to whole gland dose escalation during prostate stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) results in differences in genitourinary (GU) and gastrointestinal (GI) toxicities.

Detailed description

This is a phase 2/3 randomized clinical trial evaluating two dose escalation strategies during prostate stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). A total of 186 patients with prostate adenocarcinoma will be enrolled and randomized in a 1:1 ratio to one of two treatment arms. In both arms, patients will receive 3625 cGy delivered to the planning target volume (PTV) over 5 fractions. In Arm A, patients will receive a boost to the prostate gland. In Arm B, patients will receive a boost to the dominant intra-prostatic lesion (DIL) identified on pre-treatment magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The primary objective is to evaluate chronic genitourinary (GU) and gastrointestinal (GI) toxicities grade 2 or higher from 6 months to 2 years post-treatment using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE). Secondary objectives include evaluation of acute and chronic GU and GI toxicities using CTCAE, Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG), and Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC) domains, as well as biochemical progression-free survival at 5 years. Participants will be followed for up to 5 years after completion of treatment.
