Multi-omic Approach to Study HDR Brachytherapy for Favorable Risk and Low Tier Intermediate Risk Prostate Cancer

Multi-omic Approach to Study High Dose Rate (HDR) Brachytherapy for Favorable Risk and Low Tier Intermediate Risk Prostate Cancer


Sponsor

British Columbia Cancer Agency

Enrollment

100 participants

Start Date

Feb 1, 2024

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This is an observational single-center trial for patients with localized prostate cancer suitable for High Dose Rate (HDR) brachytherapy as monotherapy. This study takes a multi-omics approach to study the mechanism of action of HDR brachytherapy through metabolomics, immunological, transcriptomics, and spectroscopic profiling. The results of this study will clarify the optimal dose for HDR prostate brachytherapy by documenting the dose-response relationship seen in the changing tumor metabolites after HDR brachytherapy and investigate the immunogenicity of HDR brachytherapy.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study uses multiple types of biological testing (multi-omics: genomics, proteomics, tissue analysis) to better understand how brachytherapy — a type of internal radiation placed directly near the prostate — affects prostate cancer tissue at the molecular level in men with low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancer. **You may be eligible if...** - You have favorable or intermediate-risk prostate cancer with at least a 10-year life expectancy - Your clinical stage is T1c–T2b - Your PSA is below 20 ng/mL - Your Gleason score (cancer grade) is below 8 - You are in good health (ECOG 0–1) - Low-tier intermediate risk is defined as a single risk factor (Gleason 7 (3+4) with PSA <10, or Gleason 6 with PSA 10–20) **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have high-risk or very high-risk prostate cancer - Your PSA is 20 or above - Your Gleason score is 8 or higher - You have a life expectancy below 10 years Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

RADIATIONHigh dose rate prostate brachytherapy

Temporary implantation of radioactive material into the prostate in the form of a stepping source of Iridium 192 that travels through 16-18 needles or catheters strategically placed through the prostate.
