Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?There is significant, proven use of radiation for recurrent prostate cancer after surgical resection. This treatment typically is delivered over seven and a half weeks of daily treatments, presenting a burden to patients and the health care system. Stereotactic body radiation (SBRT) is a radiation technique in which large doses are delivered over a short period of time. To date there is extremely limited evidence in SBRT for recurrent prostate cancer after surgery, with a significantly growing body of evidence for primary SBRT treatment of prostate cancer in men who opt for non-surgical upfront treatment. Additionally, advances in imaging have allowed better detection of the site of recurrence, and novel artificial intelligence aided daily-adaptive radiation therapy have allowed more precise delivery of radiation doses. This study seeks to evaluate the role of Daily-Adaptive with AI-assisted SBRT in the post operative setting utilizing Ethos Plan Adaptive technology in attempt to maintain control and minimize side effects.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.

What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment Daily-adaptive Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for recurrent prostate cancer?

Research suggests that Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (SABR), a component of the treatment, can improve survival and delay further spread of cancer in patients with oligometastatic prostate cancer, indicating its potential effectiveness for recurrent prostate cancer.

Is Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) safe for treating prostate cancer?

Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT), also known as Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (SABR), has been shown to be generally safe and well-tolerated in treating prostate cancer, with careful planning and setup techniques. However, long-term safety data, especially at higher doses, is still limited.

How is Daily-Adaptive SBRT different from other treatments for recurrent prostate cancer?

Daily-Adaptive SBRT is unique because it delivers high doses of radiation in fewer sessions, which can be more effective and convenient compared to traditional radiation therapy that uses lower doses over more sessions. This approach is particularly beneficial for targeting specific areas of recurrent prostate cancer, potentially improving outcomes and reducing the need for hormone therapy.

Participant Groups

The study is testing a new way to do radiation called Daily-adaptive Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) using AI and Ethos Plan Adaptive technology. It aims to treat recurrent prostate cancer after surgery more precisely in fewer sessions than traditional methods.
2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: 2- Pelvic nodal with or without a prostate bed recurrenceExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patients who have a radiologic recurrence of prostate cancer in the pelvic node region
Group II: 1 - Prostate bed only recurrenceExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patients with confirmed radiologic recurrence of their prostate cancer in the defined region of the previous prostate surgery - commonly referred to as the prostate surgical bed.

Is multileaf collimator tracking or gating a better intrafraction motion adaptation strategy? An analysis of the TROG 15.01 stereotactic prostate ablative radiotherapy with KIM (SPARK) trial. [2022]Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (SABR) has recently emerged as a favourable treatment option for prostate cancer patients. With higher doses delivered over fewer fractions, motion adaptation is a requirement for accurate delivery of SABR. This study compared the efficacy of multileaf collimator (MLC) tracking vs. gating as a real-time motion adaptation strategy for prostate SABR patients enrolled in a clinical trial.

Evolution of hypofractionated accelerated radiotherapy for prostate cancer - the sunnybrook experience. [2022]Stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) is a newer method of ultra hypo fractionated radiotherapy that uses combination of image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) and intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) or volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), to deliver high doses of radiation in a few fractions to a target, at the same time sparing the surrounding organs at risk (OAR). SABR is ideal for treating small volumes of disease and has been introduced in a number of disease sites including brain, lung, liver, spine, and prostate. Given the radiobiological advantages of treating prostate cancer with high doses per fraction, SABR is becoming a standard of care for low and intermediate-risk prostate cancer patients based upon the results from Sunnybrook and also the US-based prostate SABR consortium. This review examines the development of moderate and ultra hypo-fractionation schedules at the Odette Cancer centre, Sunnybrook Health Sciences. Moderate hypo-fractionation protocol was first developed in 2001 for intermediate-risk prostate cancer and from there on different treatment schedules including SABR evolved for all risk groups.
Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiotherapy for Intermediate- or High-Risk Prostate Cancer. [2021]Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) is a relatively novel form of high precision radiotherapy. For low- and intermediate risk patients, ultrahypofractionation (UHF - more than 5 Gy per day) has been compared to conventionally fractionated or moderately hypofractionated radiotherapy in two large randomized studies. A third smaller randomized study examined the question of the optimal frequency of treatments. The results of these studies will be reviewed. SABR for high risk prostate cancer has been shown to be feasible and is well tolerated with careful planning and setup techniques. However, there is currently insufficient data supporting its use for high-risk patients to offer SABR outside of a clinical trial. SABR costs less to the radiotherapydepartments and, the patient, as well as increasing system capacity. Therefore, it has the potential to be widely adopted in the next few years.
Dose-Intensified Stereotactic Ablative Radiation for Localized Prostate Cancer. [2022]Stereotactic ablative radiation (SAbR) has been increasingly used in prostate cancer (PCa) given its convenience and cost efficacy. Optimal doses remain poorly defined with limited prospective comparative trials and long-term safety/efficacy data at higher dose levels. We analyzed toxicity and outcomes for SAbR in men with localized PCa at escalated 45 Gy in 5 fractions.
