NCT05523856

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of four of the nowadays most established primary treatments for patients with clinically localized prostate cancer (active surveillance, robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, intensity-modulated radiotherapy, and real-time brachytherapy) at short-, mid- and long-term follow-up. The primary aim is assessing the impact of treatments' side effects on patient's quality of life. As secondary objectives, biochemical disease-free survival, overall survival, and prostate cancer-specific survival will also be assessed.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Impact of treatments' side effects on patients' quality of life measured in terms of change in the score of the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC) from baseline to 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 60, 84, 120, 180, and 240 months after treatment.

    The Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite-26 (EPIC-26) is a prostate cancer-specific questionnaire that measures urinary, sexual, bowel, and hormonal domains, ranging from 0 to 100. Response options for each EPIC item are on a 4-, 5-, or 6-level Likert scale. Items are grouped in summary scores for sexual, bowel, and hormonal domains, and in 2 scores for the urinary domain (incontinence and irritative/obstructive symptoms), which are transformed linearly to a scale from 0 to 100, where higher scores indicate better outcomes.

    Baseline to 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 60, 84, 120, 180, and 240 months after treatment

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Biochemical disease-free survival

    5, 7, 10, 15, and 20 years after treatment

  • Overall survival

    5, 7, 10, 15, and 20 years after treatment

  • Prostate cancer-specific survival

    5, 7, 10, 15, and 20 years after treatment

  • Perceived general health measured with the 36-item Short-Form Health Survey version 2 (SF-36v2)

    Baseline to 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 60, 84, 120, 180, and 240 months after treatment

  • Quality-Adjusted Life Years measured with the EuroQol-5 Dimensions

    Baseline to 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 60, 84, 120, 180, and 240 months after treatment

Study Arms (1)

New Treatment Modalities Cohort

A consecutive sample of clinically localized prostate cancer patients treated with active surveillance, robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, intensity-modulated radiotherapy, or real-time brachytherapy in 18 Spanish hospitals.

Procedure: Active SurveillanceProcedure: Robot-Assisted Radical ProstatectomyRadiation: Intensity-Modulated RadiotherapyRadiation: Real-time brachytherapy

Interventions

It consists on monitoring the cancer with regular tests including PSA, blood test and digital rectal examination every 6 months, a magnetic resonance imaging and prostate biopsy at the first year, and based on clinical decision thereafter. If there was a change on the results, the patient is considered for treatment.

New Treatment Modalities Cohort

It consists on the removal of the prostate gland and seminal vesicles with neurovascular preservation whenever anatomically and oncologically possible, with the Da Vinci procedure. Access is made through 5 or 6 small incisions, less than 1 cm. An extended pelvic lymph node dissection is performed when the risk estimation of node involvement is above the 5%. After surgery, the patient will be hospitalized for about 3 days and will probably resume his work activity between 3 and 5 weeks.

New Treatment Modalities Cohort

Patients in this group undergo volumetric modulated arc therapy under daily image-guided radiation therapy in the supine position. Radiation is delivered in 2-3 Gy daily fractions, 5 days per week, with a prescription dose of 60-70 Gy to the prostate.

New Treatment Modalities Cohort

Patients in this group receive I125 permanent seeds (low dose rate). The images are obtained with a transrectal ultrasound probe and are transferred to a planning system for calculating the number and position of the seeds. The prescrption dose is 145 Gy to the reference isodose (100%).
