Brief Summary:
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and how well high-dose brachytherapy works in treating patients with prostate cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body. Brachytherapy is a type of radiation therapy in which radioactive material sealed in needles, seeds, wires, or catheters is placed directly into or near a tumor and may be a better treatment in patients with prostate cancer.

Detailed Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To estimate the rate of acute (within six months of high-dose rate [HDR] completion) grade >= 2 genitourinary (GU) toxicity following high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy (BT) as monotherapy for newly diagnosed prostate cancer using the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 3 (CTCAE v3.0).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To estimate the proportion of men with a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) nadir by one year (nPSA12) of < 2 ng/mL.

II. To estimate the rate of freedom from biochemical failure at 5 years (FFBF). III. To evaluate patient-reported quality of life via the 32-item Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC).

IV. To assess the cost-effectiveness of HDR BT as monotherapy for prostate cancer using the 6-item European Quality of Life 5-Dimensions (EQ-5D).

V. To explore pre-treatment clinical risk factors to optimize patient selection for HDR BT as monotherapy for prostate cancer.

VI. To compare acute and late (> 6 months after HDR completion) GU and gastrointestinal (GI) grade >= 2 toxicity using CTCAE v3.0 and v4.0.

VII. To explore dosimetric predictors of toxicity.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo high-dose-rate brachytherapy over 2 fractions. Patients may receive androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) comprising bicalutamide orally (PO) once daily (QD). Patients may also receive luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist therapy comprising leuprolide acetate intramuscularly (IM) or subcutaneously (SC), goserelin acetate SC, triptorelin pamoate IM, or degarelix SC for 4-6 months (intermediate-risk patients receiving ADT) or 6-36 months (high-risk patients) at the discretion of the treating physician.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months, and then yearly for up to 5 years.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Proportion of patients with acute grade 2 or greater acute GU toxicity, scored according to CTCAE v3.0 [ Time Frame: Within 6 months of HDR completion ]
    Will be calculated with a 90% confidence interval. Treatment plans will be reviewed, and doses to normal structures will be calculated and tabulated to determine possible relationships with toxicity outcomes.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Proportion of men with a nPSA12 of < 2 ng/mL [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year after completion of HDR ]
    nPSA12 is defined as the lowest PSA level achieved during the first year after completing HDR.

  2. FFBF (Biochemical failure define according to PSA nadir+2ng/mL and 3 consecutive rises definition according to American Society of Radiation Oncology [ Time Frame: From the completion of all treatment to the time of BF, assessed at 5 years ]
    Biochemical failure (BF) will be defined according the PSA nadir + 2 ng/mL and three consecutive rises definition according to the American Society of Radiation Oncology consensus recommendation. Time to first BF will be analyzed with competing risk models with death as a competing risk.

  3. Change in quality of life as measured by EPIC scores [ Time Frame: Baseline to up to 5 years ]
  4. Cost-effectiveness of HDR BT as monotherapy for prostate cancer using as measured by EQ-5D scores [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    Measured utility values for each patient on this study will be combined with overall survival to calculate the "QALY" quality-adjusted life years.

  5. Pre-treatment clinical risk factors to optimize patient selection for HDR BT as monotherapy for prostate cancer (association between each risk factor and the risk of having a first BF) [ Time Frame: Baseline ]
    Clinical risk factors will be tested in competing risk models to evaluate the association between each risk factor and the risk of having a first BF.

  6. Proportion of patients with acute grade 2 or greater acute GU toxicity, scored according to CTCAE v4.0 [ Time Frame: Within 6 months of HDR completion ]
    Will be calculated with a 90% confidence interval. Treatment plans will be reviewed, and doses to normal structures will be calculated and tabulated to determine possible relationships with toxicity outcomes.

  7. Late GU toxicity, scored according to CTCAE v3.0 and v4.0 [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    Will be calculated with a 90% confidence interval. Treatment plans will be reviewed, and doses to normal structures will be calculated and tabulated to determine possible relationships with toxicity outcomes.

  8. Acute GI toxicity scored according to CTCAE v3.0 and CTCAE v4.0 [ Time Frame: Up to 6 months after completing HDR BT ]
    Will be calculated with a 90% confidence interval. Treatment plans will be reviewed, and doses to normal structures will be calculated and tabulated to determine possible relationships with toxicity outcomes.

  9. Late GI toxicity, scored according to CTCAE v3.0 and CTCAE v4.0 [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    Will be calculated with a 90% confidence interval. Treatment plans will be reviewed, and doses to normal structures will be calculated and tabulated to determine possible relationships with toxicity outcomes.

  10. Dosimetric predictors of toxicity (Doses to pelvic structures will be calculated and reviewed to determine possible correlations with toxicity outcomes) [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    Doses to pelvic structures will be calculated and reviewed to determine possible correlations with toxicity outcomes.
