A Phase III Study Comparing Combined External Beam Radiation and Transperineal Interstitial Permanent Brachytherapy With Brachytherapy Alone for Selected Patients With Intermediate Risk Prostatic Carcinoma

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays and other sources to damage tumor
cells. Interstitial brachytherapy uses radioactive material placed directly into or near a
tumor to kill tumor cells. Combining interstitial brachytherapy with external-beam radiation
therapy may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known whether interstitial brachytherapy is
more effective with or without external-beam radiation therapy in treating prostate cancer.

PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of interstitial
brachytherapy with or without external-beam radiation therapy in treating patients who have
prostate cancer.

OBJECTIVES:

- Compare the 5-year freedom from progression in patients with intermediate-risk prostate
cancer treated with interstitial brachytherapy with or without external beam
radiotherapy (EBRT).

- Compare biochemical (i.e., prostate-specific antigen) failure, biochemical failure by
the Phoenix definition, disease-specific survival, local progression, and distant
metastases in patients treated with these regimens.

- Compare morbidity and quality of life of patients treated with these regimens.

- Determine the feasibility of collecting Medicare data in a large RTOG prostate cancer
clinical trial for cost effectiveness and cost utility analysis of combined treatment
with interstitial brachytherapy and EBRT.

- Prospectively collect diagnostic biopsy samples from these patients for future
biomarker analyses.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to
disease stage (T1c vs T2a or T2b), Gleason score (≤ 6 vs 7), prostate-specific antigen (< 10
ng/mL vs 10-20 ng/mL), and prior neoadjuvant hormonal therapy (yes vs no). Patients are
randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

- Arm I: Patients undergo external beam radiotherapy 5 days a week for 5 weeks. Within
2-4 weeks of radiotherapy, patients undergo interstitial brachytherapy with iodine I
125 or palladium Pd 103 seeds.

- Arm II: Patients undergo interstitial brachytherapy only, as in arm I. Quality of life
is assessed at baseline, at 4, 12, and 24 months, and then annually for 3 years.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 3-5 weeks, at 4, 6, 9, and 12
months, every 6 months for 4 years, and then annually thereafter.

DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

- Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate

- T1c-T2b, N0, M0

- Intermediate-risk disease, as defined by 1 of the following:

- Gleason score < 7 AND prostate-specific antigen (PSA) 10-20 ng/mL

- Gleason score 7 AND PSA < 10 ng/mL

- No evidence of distant metastases

- Prostate volume ≤ 60 cc by transrectal ultrasonography

- American Urological Association voiding symptom score no greater than 15 (alpha
blockers allowed)
