Brief Summary
This phase III trial compares the effects of radiation therapy using RapidPlan, trademark, knowledge-based planning to human-driven planning in treating patients with prostate cancer. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Successful delivery of radiation requires planning to develop a treatment plan for how and where the radiation is to be delivered. RapidPlan is a knowledge-based treatment planning tool that automatically creates an optimal treatment plan based on identified targets and organs at risk for radiation exposure. Human-driven treatment planning by a dosimetrist, the current standard of care, requires significant resources and time and may vary within and among radiation centers. Giving radiation therapy with RapidPlan knowledge-based planning may have similar or less side effects compared to human-driven planning in treating patients with prostate cancer.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Incidence of grade 3 or higher genitourinary (GU) and gastrointestinal (GI) adverse events (AEs)
AEs will be defined using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0. Comparisons between treatment arms will be made using a non-inferiority test for the difference between two proportions with an alpha level of 5%. The proportion of patients experiencing grade 3 or higher GU or GI AEs over the number of patients eligible for toxicity will be estimated.
Up to 3 months post-radiotherapy
Study Arms (2)
Arm A (human-driven treatment planning, radiation therapy)
ACTIVE COMPARATORPatients receive human-driven treatment planning and undergo radiation therapy over 15-30 minutes on 5-44 fractions per standard of care. Additionally, patients undergo MRI pre-treatment and blood sample collection and PET throughout study.
Arm B (RapidPlan treatment planning, radiation therapy)
EXPERIMENTALPatients receive RapidPlan treatment planning and undergo radiation therapy over 15-30 minutes on 5-44 fractions per standard of care. Additionally, patients undergo MRI pre-treatment and blood sample collection and PET throughout study.
Interventions

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patients must be at least 18 years old
- Histologically confirmed prostate cancer
- Clinical or pathologic stages T1c-T3b, Nx or N0-1, M0-1 (American Joint Committee on Cancer \[AJCC\] criteria 8th edition \[Ed\])
- Planned definitive dose radiotherapy to the prostate or prostate bed
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2 assessed within 90 days of enrollment
- Patients must sign Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved study specific informed consent
- Patients must complete all required pre-entry tests within the specified time frames
- Patients must be able to start treatment (radiation) within 180 days of study registration
- In case of confusion about the eligibility or ineligibility of an individual patient, the principal investigator (PI) can be used as the arbiter and a note to file will be added to the subject's regulatory binder to document outcome
You may not qualify if:
- Previous pelvic radiation \> 5 Gy
- Planned delivery of radiotherapy to pelvic lymph nodes
- Planned delivery of brachytherapy of the prostate
- Active rectal diverticulitis, Crohn's disease affecting the rectum, or ulcerative colitis (non-active diverticulitis and Crohn's disease not affecting the rectum are allowed)
- Prior hip replacement or penile implant
- Major medical, addictive, or psychiatric illness which in the investigator's opinion, will prevent the consent process, completion of the treatment and/or interfere with follow-up. (consent by legal authorized representative is not permitted for this study)
- Indwelling or intermittent urinary catheter use
