Brief summary

DESTINATION 2 is a multi-centre randomised trial treating intermediate risk localised prostate cancer with 2 fraction Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT). All radiotherapy will be delivered in two fractions (sessions) on an MR Linac using daily adaptation. Men will either receive uniform dose radiotherapy or de-escalated dose radiotherapy. The primary endpoint is acute GU CTCAE v5 grade 2+ toxicity. It will also look at late toxicity, patient-reported outcome measures and PSA control.

Detailed description

24 patients meeting inclusion criteria will be randomised between two arms. Arm 1 (Uniform dose) will receive 27 Gy in 2 fractions to the whole prostate + seminal vesicles (SV), the CTV, with 0 mm CTV-PTV margin. Arm 2 (De-escalated dose) will use two dose levels: The benign prostate (on MRI) will receive 20 Gy in 2 fractions with a 0mm PTV margin. The intraprostatic tumour mass(es) as seen on MRI will receive 27 Gy in 2 fractions. A 4mm GTV-PTV margin will be added to the MR visible tumour to form PTV 27Gy. The primary endpoint is emergent acute GU CTCAE v5 Grade 2+ toxicity, recorded within 3 months of completing radiotherapy. Secondary endpoints are CT CAE v5 acute GI toxicity, late toxicity, patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) (EPIC-26, IPSS, and IIEF-5) at 4 and 12 weeks, 6 months, 1 and 2 years post treatment, PSA control and kinetics

Inclusion criteria

1. Men aged ≥18 years 2. Histological confirmation of prostate adenocarcinoma requiring radical radiotherapy 3. Gleason score 3+3, 3+4 or 4+3 (Grade groups (GG) 1, 2 or 3) 4. MRI stage T3a or less (as staged by AJCC TNM 2018). MRI must be performed within a year of randomisation 5. MRI-visible tumour(s) of PIRADS v2 grade 3 or higher and able to be delineated on T2 and diffusion-weighted imaging +/- dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging. Tumour nodule visible on MRI should be considered able to be boosted by treating clinician and \<2.5cm in maximal dimension 6. The MRI-defined lesion must be confirmed as malignant on biopsies (Gleason grade must be within the limits expressed in inclusion factor 3) 7. Short course (\< 6 months) concurrent androgen deprivation therapy (antiandrogens or LHRH analogues) allowed though not mandated as per the discretion of the treating physician. 8. PSA \<20 ng/ml prior to starting ADT, if used 9. WHO Performance status 0-2 10. Ability of the participant understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent form. 11. Ability/willingness to comply with the patient reported outcome questionnaires schedule throughout the study.

Exclusion criteria

1. Contraindications to MRI (e.g. pacemaker, potentially mobile metal implant, claustrophobia) 2. IPSS Score \> 19 3. High grade disease (GG3) occult to MRI-defined lesion. 4. Prostate volume \>90cc 5. Comorbidities which predispose to significant toxicity (e.g. inflammatory bowel disease) or preclude long term follow up 6. Hip replacement, or other pelvic metalwork which causes significant artefact on diffusion-weighted imaging 7. Previous pelvic radiotherapy 8. Patients needing \>6 months of ADT due to disease parameters, as per the discretion of the treating physician 9. Previous invasive malignancy within the last 2 years where this is likely to shorten lifespan the following will remain eligible: basal or squamous carcinomas of the skin, low risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (assuming cystoscopic follow up now negative) or small renal masses on surveillance.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Acute GU toxicity12 weeksTo describe the absolute risk and relative risk reduction of acute genitourinary (GU) toxicity (CTCAE v5) when delivering de-escalated two fraction prostate SBRT compared to uniform dose two fraction prostate stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for intermediate risk prostate cancer.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Acute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0 (CTCAE v5.0) toxicityBaseline, at completion of radiotherapy, Week 2, Week 4, and Week 12To describe the absolute and relative risk of toxicity
Late Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0 (CTCAE v5.0) toxicityMonth 6, 12, 24To describe the absolute and relative risk of toxicity
Feasibility of radiation deliveryDuring each treatment fractionFeasibility- estimate percentage of fractions interrupted due to patient discomfort
DosimetryDuring each treatment fractionDosimetry- estimate the accumulated dose differences between the de-escalated and uniform dose delivery
Patient reported outcome measuresBaseline, at completion of radiotherapy, Week 2, Week 4, Week 12, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years after treatment completionTo assess baseline, acute and late International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS). IPSS ranges from 0 to 35. Lower scores are better: A lower score indicates fewer or less severe urinary symptoms, while a higher score suggests more severe symptoms.
PSA kineticsBaseline (prior to starting ADT), Week 12, Month 6, Year 1, and Year 2 after treatment completionTo assess biochemical relapse-free survival at 2 years
