High Dose-Rate Brachytherapy and Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy for the Treatment of Prostate Adenocarcinoma

Phase 2 Study of High Dose-Rate Brachytherapy and Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy for Intermediate and High Risk Localized Prostate Adenocarcinoma (HYDRA)


Sponsor

Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center

Enrollment

52 participants

Start Date

Aug 20, 2021

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This phase II trial investigates the effect of high dose-rate brachytherapy and stereotactic body radiotherapy in treating patients with prostate adenocarcinoma. Brachytherapy, also known as internal radiation therapy, uses radioactive material placed directly into or near a tumor to kill tumor cells. Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is evaluating a combination of two radiation approaches — high dose-rate brachytherapy (radiation delivered from inside the body) and stereotactic body radiotherapy (precisely targeted external radiation) — for treating intermediate- to high-risk prostate cancer. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older - You have been diagnosed with intermediate- or high-risk prostate cancer confined to the prostate or nearby tissue (no lymph node or distant spread) - Your prostate is not too large (60cc or less) - Your urinary symptom score is acceptable (IPSS score 15 or below) - You are in generally good health (ECOG 0–2) - You are able to safely receive sedation or general anesthesia **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have a rare type of prostate cancer (neuroendocrine or small cell) - You have had prior prostate surgery (prostatectomy), cryosurgery, or high-intensity focused ultrasound for prostate cancer - You have had pelvic radiation or prostate brachytherapy before - You have had another invasive cancer within the past 5 years - You have a history of inflammatory bowel disease - You had a prostate procedure (TURP) within the last 6 months - Cancer has spread to lymph nodes or distant sites Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
