Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?Background:
Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in United States (U.S.) men. Radiation is an effective treatment for most patients with localized prostate cancer, but sometimes the tumor returns. Researchers want to see if a highly focused type of radiation can help. It is given in only 5 treatments. It is called stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT).
Objective:
To study the maximum tolerated dose and side effects of stereotactic body radiation therapy in people with a local recurrence of prostate cancer after radiation.
Eligibility:
Men at least 18 years old who have recurrent prostate cancer after radiation therapy and no evidence of distant metastatic disease.
Design:
Participants will be screened with blood tests, physical exam, and medical history. They may also have:
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the prostate.
Positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scan. Participants will get an injection of 2-(3-{1-carboxy-5-\[(6-18F-fluoro-pyridine-3-carbonyl)-amino\]-pentyl}-ureido)-pentanedioic acid (18F-DCFPyL) for the PET scan. They will lie very still on their back on the scanner table.
Small samples of prostate tumor tissue will be taken by a needle through the skin or rectum to see if the cancer is in the prostate. Small metal seeds will be placed into the prostate at the same time to help guide the radiation.
About 2 weeks later, participants will have a radiation treatment planning CT scan.
Participants will answer questions about their urine function, bowel function, erectile function, and mood.
Participants will receive SBRT. They will have 5 radiation treatments over 2 weeks.
Participants will have follow-up visits. They will have a physical exam, blood tests, and questionnaires.
Six months after ending SBRT, the 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT will be repeated.
Participants will continue to have routine visits until two years after treatment is completed....
Eligibility Criteria
This trial is for men over 18 with recurrent prostate cancer after radiation, no distant metastatic disease, and an ECOG performance status of ≤2. They must understand the study and consent to participate. Exclusions include HIV patients on certain treatments, liver issues, high PSA without clear scans, prior prostatectomy, severe medical or psychiatric conditions affecting the study outcome.Inclusion Criteria
I can take care of myself but might not be able to do heavy physical work.
My prostate cancer came back after radiation treatment.
I am 18 years old or older.

Exclusion Criteria
My cancer markers went up within a year after finishing radiotherapy.
Other medical conditions deemed by the Principal Investigator (or associates) to make the subject unsafe or ineligible for protocol procedures
My PSA level is 20 ng/dL or higher, and I may not have had a specific scan.

Participant Groups
The trial tests SBRT's maximum tolerated dose in treating locally recurrent prostate cancer post-radiation. It involves a PET/CT scan using 18F-DCFPyL injection and MRI scans for planning treatment. Participants undergo five SBRT sessions over two weeks with follow-ups including physical exams and questionnaires.
4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Cohort 2, Level 2, Arm 2 - Prostate and Tumor IrradiationExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Arm 2: Prostate and tumor irradiation
Arm 2 - 30 gray (Gy) planning target volume (PTV) to Prostate and 42.5 Gy to Tumor PTV
Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) will be delivered to areas of recurrent prostate cancer identified on imaging and biopsy; and a reduced dose will be delivered to the entire prostate.
Brachytherapy: Participants with locally recurrent prostate cancer after treatment with brachytherapy +/- external beam radiation therapy (EBRT). These participants must have had brachytherapy as part of their treatment.
Group II: Cohort 2, Level 1, Arm 2 - Prostate and Tumor IrradiationExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Arm 2: Prostate and tumor irradiation
Cohort 2, Level 1, Arm 2 - 30 gray (Gy) PTV to Prostate and 40 Gy to Tumor planning target volume (PTV)
Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) will be delivered to areas of recurrent prostate cancer identified on imaging and biopsy; and a reduced dose will be delivered to the entire prostate.
Brachytherapy: Participants with locally recurrent prostate cancer after treatment with brachytherapy +/- external beam radiation therapy (EBRT). These participants must have had brachytherapy as part of their treatment.
Group III: Cohort 1, Level 2, Arm 1 - Tumor IrradiationExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Arm 1: Tumor irradiation.
Cohort 1, Level 2, Arm 1 - 42.5 gray (Gy) to Tumor planning target volume (PTV)
Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) will be delivered to areas of recurrent prostate cancer identified on imaging and biopsy; and a reduced dose will be delivered to the entire prostate.
External beam radiation therapy (EBRT): Participants with locally recurrent prostate cancer after treatment with EBRT. These participants cannot have had permanent brachytherapy as part of their treatment.
Group IV: Cohort 1, Level 1, Arm 1: Tumor IrradiationExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Arm 1: Tumor irradiation.
Cohort 1, Level 1, Arm 1 - 40 gray (Gy) to Tumor planning target volume (PTV)
Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) will be delivered to areas of recurrent prostate cancer identified on imaging and biopsy.
External beam radiation therapy (EBRT): Participants with locally recurrent prostate cancer after treatment with EBRT. These participants cannot have had permanent brachytherapy as part of their treatment.
