NCT03380806

Brief Summary

A randomized controlled open-label trial in patients with high risk prostate cancer. Eligible and consenting patients will be randomly allocated to receive stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) boost to prostate or conventional radiotherapy boost to prostate in 1:1 ratio. Prostate radiotherapy boost will be administered after standard pelvic radiotherapy. Subjects will be followed for 24 months post radiation treatment for Quality of Life assessment and toxicity.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Short Term Quality of Life (QoL)

    To compare early QoL (up to 6 months post RT) in patients with high risk adenocarcinoma of the prostate treated with ADT and RT in the form of pelvic nodal irradiation and prostate boost with standard fractionation, or pelvic nodal irradiation and prostate boost with SBRT using Cyberknife or VMAT. QoL, defined as bowel and bladder function and bother after PrCa treatment, will be measured prior to and at regular intervals after completion of radiotherapy using the established Prostate QoL (The Expanded Prostate cancer Index Composite (EPIC-26 instrument)). Higher EPIC score represent a better outcome

    up to 6 months post radiation

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Long Term Quality of Life (QoL)

    24 months

  • Urinary function assessment

    24 months

  • Late Toxicity

    12-24 months
