Single Fractions SBRT in the Treatment of Prostate Cancer: A Phase I Study
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) for Prostate Cancer. Currently recruiting, targeting 12 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
It is a phase I study of radical hypofractionation delivering one single fraction of SBRT in patients with low- and favorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer that will undergo placement of the SpaceOAR hydrogel prior to treatment. Our hypothesis is that treatments can be safely delivered in one single fraction using SBRT provided the separation between the prostate and rectum is increased using the hydrogel

Timeline
Interventions
Shorter radiation therapy means that a higher dose will be offered. To limit side effects of exposure to a high dose, a medical device protecting the rectum will be used. The medical device to be used is called SpaceOAR hydrogel (device). The SpaceOAR hydrogel creates space between the rectum and the prostate, making it much less likely that the rectum is exposed to radiation. It is injected into place prior to the start of radiation treatment using a needle. Patients may be awake or asleep under local anesthesia for the procedure. SpaceOAR hydrogel is not painful, it remains stable during radiation therapy and then is gradually absorbed by the body over the course of approximately six months, once radiation therapy has been completed.
