Phase I Study of Hypo-Fractionated Radiation Therapy (HRT) for Localized Prostate Cancer

The aim of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose of hypo-fractionated
radiation therapy and the toxicity of the treatment program.

Eligible patients with stage T1-2c prostate cancer who sign consent will be enrolled to this
phase I dose escalation trial and be treated with hypo-fractionated radiation therapy (HRT).
Dose escalation will be as follows:

There will be 3 cohorts consisting of 3 patients each.

Dose escalation will be as follows:

There will be 3 cohorts consisting of 3 patients each. All patients will receive 18
fractions of HRT over the course of 6 weeks (3 fractions per week). Dose level I will be
54Gy (3 Gy per fraction), dose level II will be 55.8 Gy (3.1Gy per fraction), dose level III
will be 57.6 Gy (3.2 Gy per fraction). After accrual of dose level I, all patients will be
observed for a minimum of two weeks after completion of radiation treatments, for assessment
of toxicity, before the dose can be escalated for the next cohort. After dose level II,
patients will be observed for 6 months before enrolling patients on dose level III.

All patients will be seen weekly by their radiation oncologist during radiation therapy. Any
observations regarding radiation reactions will be recorded.

Inclusion Criteria:

- History/physical examination with digital rectal examination of the prostate within 8
weeks prior to registration
