Purpose: The low α\β ratio of 1.2 to 2 for prostate cancer (PCa) suggests high radiation-fraction sensitivity and predicts a therapeutic advantage of hypofractionated (HF) radiation therapy (RT). To date, no phase 3 randomized clinical trial has compared moderately HF RT with standard fractionation (SF) exclusively in high-risk PCa patients. We are reporting the safety of moderate HF RT in high-risk PCa in an initially noninferiority-designed phase 3 clinical trial.
Methods And Materials: From February 2012 to March 2015, 329 high-risk PCa patients were randomized to receive either SF or HF RT. All patients received neoadjuvant, concurrent, and long-term adjuvant androgen deprivation therapy. Standard fractionation RT consisted of 76 Gy in 2 Gy per fraction to the prostate, where 46 Gy was delivered to the pelvic lymph nodes. Hypofractionated RT included concomitant dose escalation of 68 Gy in 2.72 Gy per fraction to the prostate and 45 Gy in 1.8 Gy per fraction to the pelvic lymph nodes. The coprimary endpoints were acute and delayed toxicity at 6 and 24 months, respectively. The trial was originally designed as a noninferiority with a 5% absolute margin. Given the lower-than-expected toxicities in both arms, the noninferiority analysis was completely dropped.
Results: Of the 329 patients, 164 were randomized to the HF and 165 to the SF arms. In total, there were more grade 1 or worse acute gastrointestinal (GI) events in the HF arm, 102 versus 83 events in the HF and SF arm, respectively (P = .016). This did not remain significant at 8 weeks of follow-up. There were no differences in grade 1 or worse acute GU events in the 2 arms, 105 versus 99 events in the HF and SF arm, respectively (P = .3). At 24 months, 12 patients in the SF arm and 15 patients in the HF arm had grade 2 or worse delayed GI-related adverse events (hazard ratio, 1.32; 95% CI, 0.62-2.83; P = .482). There were 11 patients in the SF arm and 3 patients in the HF arm with grade 2 or higher delayed genitourinary (GU) toxicities (hazard ratio, 0.26; 95% CI, 0.07-0.94; P = .037). There were 3 grade 3 GI and one grade 3 GU delayed toxicities in the HF arm and 3 grade 3 GU and no grade 3 GI toxicities in the SF arm. No grade 4-toxicities were reported.
Conclusions: This is the first study of moderate HF dose-escalated RT in exclusively high-risk patients with prostate cancer treated with long-term androgen deprivation therapy and pelvic RT. Although our data were not analyzed as a noninferiority, our results demonstrate that moderately HF RT is well-tolerated, similar to SF RT at 2 years, and could be considered an alternative to SF RT.
