Precision radiation boost aims to tame High-Risk prostate cancer

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Pathologically proven adenocarcinoma of the prostate with NCCN high-risk disease or NCCN unfavorable intermediate-risk disease. * Patients with unfavorable intermediate-risk disease must meet the following criteria: * At least one intermediate risk factor (IRF): * PSA 10-20 ng/mL * cT2b-c (AJCC 8th ed.) * Gleason score 7 * At least one "unfavorable" intermediate-risk identifier: * \> 1 IRF * Gleason score 4+3 * ≥ 50% of biopsy cores positive * NO high-risk features * Patients with high-risk disease must meet at least one of the following criteria: * cT3a-T3b * PSA \> 20 * Gleason score ≥ 8 * MRI scan of the prostate with at least one MR-detectable lesion in the prostate/seminal vesicles. PET/CT which is found to display activity n the prostate consistent with prostate cancer may be substituted per investigator discretion. * Planning to undergo concurrent whole-pelvis SBRT and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). ADT may be initiated at any time per institutional standard, so long as ADT begins within 60 days of the start of radiotherapy. * At least 18 years of age. * ECOG performance status ≤ 1 * Agreement to adhere to Lifestyle Considerations throughout study duration * Able to complete relevant patient-reported quality-of-life questionnaires in the opinion of the treating physician. * Able to understand and willing to sign an IRB approved written informed consent document. Exclusion Criteria: * Definitive radiologic evidence of nodal (cN+) or metastatic (cM1) disease on conventional imaging (bone scan) or prostate cancer-specific PET/CT scan (NaF PET/CT, Axumin PET/CT, fluciclovine, choline, or PSMA PET/CT scan). Patients with lymph nodes ≥ 1 cm on short axis are ineligible unless the lymph node is read as benign by Radiology. * Prior androgen deprivation therapy. (If the onset of androgen ablation is ≤ 60 days prior to treatment start, the patient is eligible.) Baseline PSA and testosterone must be obtained prior to start of treatment. * Systemic chemotherapy within 3 years prior to treatment start. * Prior radical prostatectomy, pelvic lymph node dissection, prostate cryotherapy, or high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to the prostate. * Prior pelvic radiotherapy. * Presence of baseline CTCAE grade ≥ 2 GI or GU toxicity that does not resolve to grade 1 or less with appropriate intervention. * cT4 disease. * American Urologic Association (AUA) urinary symptom score ≥ 20 * Prostate gland measuring \>90 cc. * Unable to get prostate fiducial markers placed for image guided radiation treatment. Rectal hydrogel is optional and is left to the discretion of the treating physician. * Hip prosthetic that does not allow for treatment planning visualization. * Prior malignancy (except for non-melanoma skin cancer) unless disease-free for at least 2 years. Patients are not eligible if they have had a prior pelvic malignancy (e.g. bladder cancer, rectal cancer). * Prior transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) within 3 months prior to registration. * Uncontrolled intercurrent illness precluding RT and/or ADT including, but not limited to, seizures, myocardial infarction in the past 6 months, current severe or unstable angina pectoris, congestive heart failure requiring hospitalization in the past 6 months, uncontrolled active infection, uncontrolled hypertension, or any condition that in the opinion of the investigator would preclude participation in the study. * History of uncontrolled inflammatory bowel disease, including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. * Presence of anal fissure or history of bowel or bladder fistula. * Scleroderma. Patients who are moderately symptomatic from other autoimmune diseases or patients on biologic therapies for autoimmune diseases are also excluded. * Known history of HIV or chronic hepatitis B or C. Testing to evaluate for the presence of HIV and/or hepatitis B or C is not required in patients who do not carry the diagnosis. * Poorly visualized bladder and bowel on diagnostic CT or CT simulation (either due to body habitus or artifact). * Unable to spend 30 minutes lying on the radiation therapy treatment couch due to significant urinary frequency/urgency or other comorbidities.
