Phase I Feasibility Trial of Preoperative Adjuvant Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy for Patients at High Risk of Local Failure After Prostatectomy

This phase I trial studies stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in treating patients
with prostate cancer that is likely to come back or spread (high-risk) undergoing surgery.
SBRT is a type of external radiation therapy that uses special equipment to position a
patient and precisely deliver radiation to tumors in the body. Delivering radiotherapy before
prostatectomy by SBRT is more convenient, conformal, and may spare normal tissues better than
delivering radiotherapy after prostatectomy.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess feasibility of pre-operative stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in prostate
cancer patients at high risk for recurrence after prostatectomy.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess safety and acute toxicity of SBRT followed by prostatectomy. This will be based
on Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 and patient reported
quality of life (Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite [EPIC] and International Prostate
Symptom Score [IPSS] questionnaires).

II. Correlative biomarker and molecular analyses using the primary tumor specimen and serial
blood draws before and after treatment.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo 3 fractions of SBRT over 1-2 weeks, 2-4 weeks prior to radical
prostatectomy.

After completion of the study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 1 year.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Histologically confirmed primary non-metastatic adenocarcinoma of the prostate

- Patient desires and is medically fit to undergo prostatectomy

- Karnofsky performance status (KPS) >= 70

- Patients on androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) are allowed

- For confirmation of high risk local failure status, patients will have any one of the
following:

- Computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrating
seminal vesicle invasion (SVI) or extraprostatic extension (EPE) within 1 year of
enrollment into the study

- Pre-biopsy prostate-specific antigen (PSA) >= 20

- Gleason score 7-10 (Gleason 7 must be 4+3), presence of any Gleason 5 (even if a
tertiary score) as determined at diagnostic biopsy

- Gleason score 7 and > 50% of biopsy cores positive for prostate cancer

- Clinical stage >= T3 (staging by imaging acceptable)

- An image-guided biopsy (via Artemis Ultrasound with MRI co-registration) is encouraged
but not required if not performed as standard of care biopsy

Exclusion Criteria:

- Distant metastases, based upon:

- CT scan or MRI of the abdomen/pelvis within 120 days prior to registration and

- Bone scan within 120 days prior to registration; if the bone scan is suspicious,
a plain x-ray and/or MRI must be obtained to rule out metastasis prior to
registration

- Patient is unable or unwilling to sign consent

- Patient is considered low-risk and would not have received adjuvant radiation therapy
(RT) outside of this study
