Phase I Clinical Trial of Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (SABR) of Pelvis and Prostate Targets for Patients With High Risk Prostate Cancer

Since high risk prostate cancer requires higher radiation, this study is being done to
determine the maximum tolerated dose of radiation to the prostate and pelvic regions. Also to
determine the feasibility and safety of each treatment fraction by using cone-beam Computed
Tomography(CT) information and high speed Graphics Processing Unit based computation
treatment planning systems. We also plan to determine the safety of treatment to the
prostate. Health-related quality of life will be measured as part of current clinical
practice.

- Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or to safely escalate dose to the pelvic
nodal using 90 day acute toxicity endpoint

- Determine feasibility and safety of adaptive real time re-planning of the pelvic nodal
region at each treatment fraction by using cone-beam CT (CBCT) information and high
speed GPU based computation treatment planning systems

- Determine the safety and tolerability of 9.5 Gy per fraction in five fractions (47.5 Gy
total dose) to the prostate

- Determine the feasibility and safety of temporal enhanced ultrasound for prostate lesion
tracking during radiation therapy

- To follow tumor related outcomes (i.e. PSA control, progression-free survival (PFS),
distant metastasis (DM) free survival, and overall survival (OS)

- Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) will be measured as part of current clinical
practice Patients in each dose cohort will all be treated as a single group for dose
escalation. There will be two levels of dose escalation—to prostate lesions and to
pelvic lymph node region. Prostate/SV PTV will be treated at a fixed dose of 9.5 Gy per
fraction for 5 fractions (47.5 Gy) based on our previous phase I/II study experiences.
The starting dose for the dose escalation to the pelvic region PTV will be 4.5 Gy per
fraction for 5 fractions (total dose= 22.5 Gy). Subsequent cohorts of patients will
receive an additional 0.5 Gy per treatment (total 2.5 Gy per escalation). The starting
dose for MRI-visible prostatic lesions will be 10 Gy and subsequent cohorts will receive
an additional 0.5Gy per treatment (total of 2.5Gy per escalation).

Patients will be accrued in alternating dose levels. The two distinct areas of dose
escalations (pelvic lymph node and prostate lesion) will take place one at a time. Minimum
waiting periods will be assigned between each dose cohort to observe toxicity. The phase I
portion of the study will be completed when dose limiting toxicity is reached or when a
sufficiently high dose level (i.e.,5.5 Gy per fraction to a total 27.5 Gy for pelvic lymph
node region and 11Gy per fraction to a total of 55Gy to the prostate lesion), is attained to
consider the therapy likely to be efficacious. All patients will be treated with a total of
24 months of androgen suppression therapy (ADT). Radiation therapy will start 8-12 weeks
after initiation of ADT.

No. Patients for each cohort: 7-15 Cohort 1: 9.5 Gy per fraction to prostate/SV, 10 Gy per
fraction to prostate lesion, 4.5Gy per fraction to pelvic lymph node region for 5 fractions
for a total of 47.5 / 50 / 22.5 Gy to Prostate+SV /Prostate lesions/Nodes Cohort 2: 9.5 Gy
per fraction to prostate/SV, 10 Gy per fraction to prostate lesion, 5Gy per fraction to
pelvic lymph node region for 5 fractions for a total of 47.5 / 50 / 25 Gy to Prostate+SV
/Prostate lesions/Nodes Cohort 3: 9.5 Gy per fraction to prostate/SV, 10.5 Gy per fraction to
prostate lesion, 5Gy per fraction to pelvic lymph node region for 5 fractions for a total of
47.5 / 52.5 / 25 Gy to Prostate+SV /Prostate lesions/Nodes Cohort 4: 9.5 Gy per fraction to
prostate/SV, 10.5 Gy per fraction to prostate lesion, 5.5 Gy per fraction to pelvic lymph
node region for 5 fractions for a total of 47.5 / 52.5 / 27.5 Gy to Prostate+SV /Prostate
lesions/Nodes Cohort 5: 9.5 Gy per fraction to prostate/SV, 11 Gy per fraction to prostate
lesion, 5.5 Gy per fraction to pelvic lymph node region for 5 fractions for a total of 47.5 /
55 / 27.5 Gy to Prostate+SV /Prostate lesions/Nodes

- (MR stage T3a without other high risk factors permitted at investigator
discretion).

- No direct evidence of regional or distant metastases after appropriate staging studies
as indicated clinically.

- Clinically negative lymph nodes as established by imaging (abdominal and pelvic CT or
abdominal and pelvic MRI), nodal sampling, or dissection within 90 days prior to
registration.

- Patients with lymph nodes equivocal or questionable by imaging are eligible if the
nodes are < 2.0 cm in the short axis.

- No distant metastases (M0) on bone scan within 90 days prior to registration.

physician, including baseline liver function evaluation. For patients not eligible for
anti-testosterone therapy, hormone therapy with LHRH agonist alone will be permitted
on case by case basis by study P.I.
