MAYO-700
7-00, NCT00684905

Objectives

  1. Determine the feasibility and patient tolerance of interstitial brachytherapy combined with androgen-deprivation therapy for patients with locally recurrent prostate cancer after prior external-beam irradiation.
  2. Determine the toxicity of interstitial brachytherapy combined with androgen-deprivation therapy in these patients.
  3. Determine the tumor response to interstitial brachytherapy combined with androgen-deprivation therapy in these patients.

Entry Criteria

Disease Characteristics:

  • Biopsy-proven adenocarcinoma of the prostate
    • Locally recurrent disease, defined by digital rectal examination and/or rising prostate-specific antigen (PSA)


  • No evidence of nodal or distant metastasis (i.e., N0, M0) on physical examination, bone scan, or CT scan of the pelvis


  • Clinical stage T1c-T3a disease at the time of recurrence


  • PSA < 10 ng/mL


  • Prostate volume by transrectal ultrasonography < 60 cc


  • Received prior external beam radiotherapy


Prior/Concurrent Therapy:

  • See Disease Characteristics
  • No prior transurethral resection of the prostate

Patient Characteristics:

  • ECOG performance status 0-2
  • WBC ≥ 3,000/μL
  • Platelet count ≥ 90,000/μL
  • Hemoglobin ≥ 10 g/dL
  • Alkaline phosphatase < 2 times normal
  • AST < 2 times normal
  • Normal prothrombin time and partial thromboplastin time
  • No significant obstructive urinary symptoms (AUA score ≤ 16)
  • No contraindication for general anesthesia

Outline

Patients receive neoadjuvant therapy comprising leuprolide acetate intramuscularly for 3 months and oral bicalutamide once daily for 30 days, beginning on the first day of leuprolide acetate administration. Patients then undergo interstitial brachytherapy implantation with I-125. Following brachytherapy, patients receive adjuvant leuprolide acetate every 3 months for an additional 6 months.

Quality of life is assessed at baseline and at every treatment and follow-up visit.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years, every to 4-6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
