Abstract
Objective: To demonstrate safety and feasibility of 2-fraction stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for prostate cancer.
Methods: This single centre, non-comparative, phase II/R-IDEAL2b trial randomised 46 patients with intermediate/lower high-risk prostate cancer with visible gross tumour volume (GTV) on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to receive 36.25Gy in 5 fractions over 10 days or 24Gy in 2 fractions with a GTV boost up to 27Gy over 8 days. All treatment was delivered on an MR-linac with daily adaptive replanning. The primary endpoint was acute grade ≥2 (G2+) genitourinary (GU) toxicity (CTCAEv5). Secondary endpoints include gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity and patient reported outcomes.
Results: G2+GU acute toxicity was observed in 6/22 (27.3%; 95% CI (0.11-0.50) of patients in the 2-fraction group and 7/24 (29.2%; 95% CI (0.13-0.50) in the 5-fraction group. There were no grade 3(G3) GU toxicities. G2+ urinary frequency rose from 4.5% (1/22) at week 2 to 13.6% (3/22) at week 4 in 2-fraction SBRT. G2+ urinary frequency peaked earlier in 5-fraction SBRT at 16.7% (4/24) in week 2, falling to 12.5% (3/24) at week 4. At 12 weeks, median EPIC-26 urinary-incontinence score was 85.5, IQR 75-100) for 2-fraction SBRT and 100, IQR 93.8-100) for 5-fraction SBRT. Urinary irritative-obstructive scores were higher at 12 weeks in the 2-fraction group (93.8, IQR 87.5-100) and 87.5, IQR 81.3-93.8 in the 5-fraction group. Peak IPSS score was lower in the 2-fraction group (8, IQR 4-11) and 13.5, IQR 10-17) in the 5-fraction group. G2+ GI acute toxicity occurred in 3/24 (6.8%) after 5-fraction SBRT, but none after 2-fraction SBRT.
Conclusions: Acceptable acute GU toxicity was seen after 2-fraction SBRT. Acute GI toxicity was low. Randomised trials are warranted to explore late toxicity and biochemical control.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Radiation Oncology • Biology • Physics (IJROBP), known in the field as the Red Journal, publishes original laboratory and clinical investigations related to radiation oncology, radiation biology, medical physics, and both education and health policy as it relates to the field.
This journal has a particular interest in original contributions of the following types: prospective clinical trials, outcomes research, and large database interrogation. In addition, it seeks reports of high-impact innovations in single or combined modality treatment, tumor sensitization, normal tissue protection (including both precision avoidance and pharmacologic means), brachytherapy, particle irradiation, and cancer imaging. Technical advances related to dosimetry and conformal radiation treatment planning are of interest, as are basic science studies investigating tumor physiology and the molecular biology underlying cancer and normal tissue radiation response.
