A randomized Phase II trial of High Dose-Rate (HDR) and Low Dose-Rate (LDR) brachytherapy as monotherapy in localized prostate cancer: analysis of initial arms of Canadian cancer trials group PR19 (NCT02960087)
Purpose/objectives
Low Dose-Rate Brachytherapy (LDR) and High Dose-Rate Brachytherapy (HDR) are options for favorable risk prostate cancer. We hypothesized that HDR provides comparable disease control with less urinary toxicity. Primary objective was to determine prostate cancer control at 48 months, defined as a PSA < 0.4 ng/ml.
Materials/methods
Eligible patients had low and intermediate risk diseases. Randomization was to Arm 1 LDR with I-125 to 144 Gy, or Arm 2 HDR with 19 Gy x1 + intraprostatic boost. Follow-up included PSA, toxicity (CTCAE v 4.0), and Quality of Life (EPIC 26). Arm 2 was closed in May 2019 due to evidence of inferior outcomes, and a third arm (HDR 13.5 Gy x 2) was opened. We report outcomes of Arms 1 (LDR) and 2 (HDR single fraction) prior to study amendment.
Results
103 patients were randomized: 51 to LDR (Arm 1) and 52 to HDR (Arm 2). Median age 65 years; 76 % had Gleason 3 + 4, 90 % PSA < 10, and 80 % stage T1c. Median follow-up 53 months. PSA control at 4 years was 78.4 % for LDR, and 21.2 % for HDR. Local progression rates: 2 % LDR, 13.5 % HDR. Grade 3 toxicity occurred in 6 patients for LDR and 2 patients Arm 2. Urinary irritative and bowel symptoms were worse in the first 6 months for LDR.
Conclusions
LDR brachytherapy has high prostate cancer disease control rate at 4 years, although with worse impact on urinary symptoms in the first 6 months. Single fraction HDR was associated with unacceptable cancer control.
