Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine if RapidPlan knowledge-based planning is non-inferior to human-driven planning regarding treatment-related rates of grade 3 or higher genitourinary (GU) and gastrointestinal (GI) adverse events at 3 months post-radiotherapy for prostate cancer.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. After completion of radiation therapy, determine the incidence of:
Ia. Grade 2 or greater GU and GI toxicity at 3 months (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [CTCAE] version 5); Ib. Quality of life 3 months post-radiotherapy; Ic. Rate of achieving dose-volume constraints. II. Determine if there are any statistical differences in dose-volumes results with RapidPlan knowledge-based planning.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.
ARM A (HUMAN-DRIVEN): Patients receive human-driven treatment planning and undergo radiation therapy over 15-30 minutes on 5-44 fractions per standard of care. Additionally, patients undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pre-treatment and blood sample collection and positron emission tomography (PET) throughout study.
ARM B (KNOWLEDGE-BASED): Patients receive RapidPlan treatment planning and undergo radiation therapy over 15-30 minutes on 5-44 fractions per standard of care. Additionally, patients undergo MRI pre-treatment and blood sample collection and PET throughout study.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 3 and 12 months then yearly for up to year 5.
