Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Repeat irradiation (re-irradiation) to recurrent tumour within the prostate gland, after prior radiotherapy or brachytherapy.

Treatment will be delivered on the Elekta Unity MRI-guided linear accelerator (MR-linac) using a dose of 34Gy in 5 fractions for those previously treated with external beam radiotherapy, or with brachytherapy if the recurrence is confined to the seminal vesicles. Patients with local recurrence within the prostate after brachytherapy will be treated to a dose of 30Gy in 5 fractions.

Treatment will be delivered 2 or 3 times a week, and not on consecutive days. Overall treatment is anticipated to be completed within 2 weeks.

Patients may be eligible for treatment if more than 2 years have elapsed between initial radiotherapy or brachytherapy and the detection of biochemical failure, provided other eligibility criteria are met.

Treatment will be administered by radiation therapists, with daily plan adaptation under the supervision of the treating radiation oncologist, who will also be defining the target volume and surrounding normal organs at risk.

Adherence to treatment will be monitored by review of daily radiotherapy treatment plans and the medical records at the completion of treatment.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 326013 0
Feasibility, as determined by the ability to complete treatment in under 90 minutes in 90% of treatments. Time taken to deliver individual treatments will be recorded with time stamps at multiple steps of the treatment pathway and logged on a database.
Timepoint [1] 326013 0
Feasibility will be assessed immediately after each treatment (and defined as successful if treatment was completed in under 90 minutes) until all patients have completed their treatment.
Secondary outcome [1] 389857 0
Toxicity will be assessed using Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0, the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS), and the International Index of Erectile Dysfunction (IIEF-5). These will be completed by the patient and clinician at multiple time points at baseline and during the follow up period. The toxicity assessment will be performed as a composite of the results of these tools.
Timepoint [1] 389857 0
Toxicity data will be collected at baseline, 4-6 weeks after treatment, every 3 months until the end of 12 months, every 6 months until 24 months and then annually. Toxicity will be reported at the end of 36 months.
Secondary outcome [2] 389858 0
Time to second biochemical failure, defined as a further rise of 2 ug/L above the PSA taken at commencement of reirradiation.
Timepoint [2] 389858 0
PSA will be collected at baseline, 4-6 weeks after treatment, every 3 months until the end of 12 months, every 6 months until 24 months and then annually.
Secondary outcome [3] 392300 0
Quality of Life will be a composite assessment, using the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-C30 and QLQ-PR25, and Euroqol EQ-5D-5L questionnaires.
Timepoint [3] 392300 0
Quality of life data will be collected at baseline, 4-6 weeks after treatment, 6 and 12 months after treatment and then annually.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
- Histologically confirmed recurrent prostate cancer, previously treated with external beam radiotherapy or low dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy

Summary
Brief summary
This study is investigating the feasibility of delivering salvage re-irradiation to the prostate gland in men who have previously received radiation.

Who is it for?
You may be eligible for this trial if you are a male aged 18 years or over, have previously treated been treated for prostate cancer with external beam radiotherapy or brachytherapy and have a local recurrence within the prostate, with no more than 5 distant metastases.

Study details
Participants will receive radiation to the prostate gland using Magnetic Guided adaptive radiotherapy on the MRI linear accelerator. The intervention is intended to be delivered as 5 radiotherapy sessions over 2 weeks. Participants will be asked to provide 9 blood samples throughout the study to assess the response to treatment. Data on toxicity and prostate specific antigen (PSA) response to treatment will be collected.

Information from this study will be used to determine whether a MRI-guided approach to radiotherapy is a feasible clinical approach for the treatment of recurrent prostate cancer.

Public notes
This study aims primarily to investigate the feasibility of delivering salvage re-irradiation to the prostate gland in men who have previously received radiation (external beam or brachytherapy) to the prostate gland using Magnetic Guided adaptive radiotherapy on the MRI linear accelerator. Treatment will be considered feasible if a treatment can be delivered successfully in under 90 minutes, in 90% of treatments. To our knowledge, it will be the first study of its kind looking at re-irradiation using MR-guided radiotherapy. We will also collect data on toxicity to compare with contemporary studies delivering this treatment without MRI guidance, and collect data on PSA response to determine if treatment effectively delays PSA progression.
