NCT02353832

Brief Summary

The purpose is to determine if use of rectal spacers are effective at improving protection of rectum from high dose radiation, using rate of rectal ulceration as a surrogate measure of acute effects. It is also to determine whether it provides sufficient dosimetric benefits to warrant further clinical investigation in future SABR (Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiation) related clinical studies.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Percentage of Participants With Reduction in Acute Per-prostatic Rectal Ulcer Events Events From 90%+ to <70% (Particularly in the Anterior Rectum)

    The effectiveness of rectal spacer use was measured to determine if they are effective at improving protection of rectum from high dose radiation, using rate of rectal ulceration as a surrogate measure of acute effects

    Median 9 months within the end of radiation treatment

  • Effectiveness of Space Creation of >= 7.5 mm in Protecting Rectum From Toxicity

    The effectiveness of rectal spacer use was measured to determine if they are effective at improving protection of rectum from high dose radiation, using rate of rectal ulceration as a surrogate measure of acute effects

    Median 9 months within the end of radiation treatment

Secondary Outcomes (30)

  • Percentage of Participants With Spacer Related Acute Toxicity

    270 days

  • Determine Spacer's Ability to Change Percent Rectal Circumference (PRC) Receiving 39 Gy

    1 month

  • Determine Spacer's Ability to Change Percent Rectal Circumference (PRC) Receiving 24 Gy.

    1 month

  • Acute (Within 270 Days of Treatment) SABR-related Gastrointestinal (GI) Toxicities

    270 days

  • Acute (Within 270 Days of Treatment) SABR-related Genitourinary (GU) Toxicities

    270 days

  • +25 more secondary outcomes

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 99 Years
Sexmale(Gender-based eligibility)
Gender Eligibility DetailsMale only study
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • All patients must be willing and capable to provide informed consent to participate in the protocol.
  • Eligible patients must have appropriate staging studies identifying them as AJCC stage T1 (a, b, or c) or T2a or T2b adenocarcinoma of the prostate gland. The patient should not have direct evidence of regional or distant metastases after appropriate staging studies. Histologic confirmation of cancer will be required by biopsy performed within 180 days of registration.
  • The patient's Zubrod performance status must be 0-2.
  • The Gleason score should be less than or equal to 6 or 3+4 if \< 50% of a 12 core biopsy was involved.
  • The serum PSA should be less than or equal to 10 ng/ml.
  • Study entry PSA must not be obtained during the following time frames: 10 day period following prostate biopsy; following initiation of ADT; within 30 days after discontinuation of finasteride; or within 90 days after discontinuation of dutasteride.
  • Age ≥ 18 years.
  • Patients may have used prior hormonal therapy, but it should be limited to no more than 9 months of therapy prior to enrollment.
  • The ultrasound, or CT based volume estimation of the patient's prostate gland should be ≤ 60 grams.

You may not qualify if:

  • Subjects who have had previous pelvic radiotherapy or have had chemotherapy or surgery for prostate cancer.
  • Subjects who have plans to receive other concomitant or post treatment adjuvant antineoplastic therapy while on this protocol including surgery, cryotherapy, conventionally fractionated radiotherapy, hormonal therapy, or chemotherapy given as part of the treatment of prostate cancer.
  • Subjects who have undergone previous transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) or cryotherapy to the prostate. Subjects who have significant urinary obstructive symptoms; AUA score must be ≤15 (alpha blockers allowed).
  • Subjects who have a history of significant psychiatric illness.
  • Men of reproductive potential who do not agree that they or their partner will use an effective contraceptive method such as condom/diaphragm and spermacidal foam, intrauterine device (IUD), or prescription birth control pills.
  • Prior invasive malignancy (except non-melanomatous skin cancer) unless disease free for a minimum of 3 years (e.g., carcinoma in situ of the breast, oral cavity, or cervix are all permissible).
  • Severe, active co-morbidity, defined as follows:
  • Unstable angina and/or congestive heart failure requiring hospitalization within the last 6 months.
  • Transmural myocardial infarction within the last 6 months.
  • Acute bacterial or fungal infection requiring intravenous antibiotics at the time of registration.
  • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease exacerbation or other respiratory illness requiring hospitalization or precluding study therapy within 30 days before registration.
  • Hepatic insufficiency resulting in clinical jaundice and/or coagulation defects; note, however, that laboratory tests for liver function and coagulation parameters are not required for entry into this protocol.
  • Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) based upon current CDC definition; note, however, that HIV testing is not required for entry into this protocol. The need to exclude patients with AIDS from this protocol is necessary because the treatments involved in this protocol may be significantly immunosuppressive. Protocol-specific requirements may also exclude immuno-compromised patients.
  • Patients with history of inflammatory colitis (including Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative colitis) are not eligible.
  • Subjects with a known allergy to polyethylene glycol hydrogel (spacer material) or contraindication to spacer products (Duraseal or SpaceOAR).
  • +1 more criteria
