Overview

Hypofractionated radiation therapy is a new type of radiotherapy which has been shown to play a larger role in the treatment of prostate cancer. The aims of the trial were to evaluate the safety and feasibility of adjuvant hypofractionated radiotherapy following radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer.

Description

The present study will be conducted as a prospective, prospective, single-centre, single-arm clinical trial. Patients after radical prostatectomy with high-risk pathological factors will receive hypofractionated post-prostatectomy radiotherapy in 15 fractions. The primary endpoint of the study is incidence of radiotherapy-related gastrointestinal and genitourinary adverse events,judging by (CTCAE)5.0. The secondary endpoints are progression-free survival (PFS) including biochemical recurrence-free survival (bPFS) and radiological progression-free survival (RPFS), economic evaluations, self-assessment of quality of life including Abbreviated Version of the Expanded Prostate Cancer In-dex Composite Instrument (EPIC-26) and Physical Activity Rank Scale-3 (ARS-3), overall survival (OS) and prostate cancer-specific survival (CSS).

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. ECOG performance status 0-2.
  2. Pathologically confirmed prostate cancer and completion of radical prostatectomy.
  3. Postoperative pathological staging pT 3a, pT 3b, pT 4, surgical margins (+) or N1; or serum PSA ≥0.1ng/ml at 6 weeks postoperatively; or serum PSA <0.1ng/ml at 6 weeks postoperatively, with two consecutive persistently elevated PSA (≥0.1ng/ml) without signs of metastasis on clinical imaging (whole-body bone scan (ECT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), 68Ga PSMA PET/CT, etc.) .
  4. Expected survival time >5 years.
  5. Voluntarily accepted this experimental study protocol after being informed of the available treatment options.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients with poor recovery of continence after radical prostatectomy.
  2. Patients with a history of pelvic and abdominal radiotherapy.
  3. Patients who participated in other clinical trials that were repugnant to the intervention of this trial within 4 weeks prior to the start of this trial.
  4. Patients with other malignancies and acute or chronic infections such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) (+), hepatitis C virus (HCV) (+) and/or positive syphilis.
  5. Patients who are deemed unfit to participate in this clinical trial in the judgement of the investigator, for instance, patients with serious systemic diseases that, in the judgement of the investigator, may interfere with the treatment and evaluation of this trial and its compliance, including serious respiratory, circulatory, neurological, psychiatric, gastrointestinal, endocrine, immunological, urological and other systemic diseases.
  6. Patients with radiotherapy-related contraindications.
  7. Patients who cannot provide written informed consent and have poor adherence to treatment.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
