Trial Outcomes & Findings for Radiation and Androgen Ablation for Prostate Cancer (NCT NCT01517451)

NCT ID: NCT01517451

Last Updated: 2026-02-11

Results Overview

To assess 5-year biochemical failure free rate (BFFR) associated with image-guided radiation therapy in doses of 7.25 Gy every other day to a total dose of 36.25 Gy (5 fractions) along with 4 months of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) neoadjuvantly and concurrently. BFFR is defined as binary indicator whether PSA has increased by 2 ng/ml or more above the nadir PSA any time before the end of 5 years as the number of events.

Measure
Radiation With Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT)
This will be a Phase I/II study evaluating the effectiveness and toxicity of a combined regimen of 7.25 Gy every other day fractions to a total dose of 36.25 Gy (total of 5 fractions) with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for 4 months total, greater than or equal to 1 month prior to SBRT (stereotactic body radiation therapy). This choice of daily dose is based on the prior published experience showing safety and efficacy of hypofractionated regimens. Radiation Therapy: 7.25 Gy every other day fractions to a total dose of 36.25 Gy (total of 5 fractions) Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT): Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for 4 months total, greater than or equal to 1 month prior to SBRT.

The International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) is a useful subjective assessment tool for Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) patients; it is a modification of the American Urological Association (AUA) Symptom Index. The questionnaire assesses degree of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) and quality of life. Patients can fill out the IPSS form before examinations, but minimal interference from health care providers must be ensured. Total score range 0-35; A score of 7 or less is mildly symptomatic, 8 to 19 is moderately symptomatic, and 20 to 35 is severely symptomatic.

The SHIM serves several key functions within clinical and research settings. Its core purpose involves screening for and evaluating the severity of erectile dysfunction (ED). Total score range 5 to 25; higher scores indicate better erectile function. A total score of 21 or less indicates erectile dysfunction. 22-25: No erectile dysfunction, 17-21: Mild ED, 12-16: Mild-to-moderate ED, 8-11: Moderate ED, 5-7: Severe ED.

Population: At each timepoint the number of participants varies based on patient data collected for the EPIC assessment.

The EPIC-26 (Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite-Short Form) is a validated questionnaire for measuring sexual health related quality of life. Scores range from 1 to 100, with higher scores being better score.
