IMPORTANCE: Postoperative radiotherapy remains underused for men with biochemical recurrence or adverse pathological features after radical prostatectomy (RP). Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) may improve utilization and poses potential radiobiological advantages. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate physician-reported late toxic effects and 2-year patient-reported outcomes (PROs) following post-RP SBRT. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This phase 2, single-arm trial was conducted in 2 academic centers in the US and included a comparator cohort. Men with post-RP prostate-specific antigen greater than 0.03 ng/mL or adverse pathologic features were included. Data were collected from February 2018 to March 2021, and data were analyzed from January to October 2024. INTERVENTIONS: SBRT delivered at 30 to 34 Gy in 5 fractions to the prostate bed. Nodal irradiation, boost to gross disease, and/or hormonal therapy were delivered per physician discretion. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: Late toxic effects (more than 90 days after treatment) were graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.03. PROs were measured using Expanded Prostate Cancer Index-26. The proportion of men whose PROs had decrements greater than twice the threshold for minimal clinically important difference (MCID) at any point during the first 2 years were evaluated. The longitudinal PROs for men receiving SBRT was compared with a cohort of 200 men receiving postoperative conventionally fractionated radiotherapy (CFRT) using logistic regression, while adjusting for baseline scores, age, and receipt of nodal irradiation. RESULTS: Of 100 patients treated with post-RP SBRT, the median (IQR) age was 68.5 (63.9-71.4) years, and the median (IQR) follow-up was 43 (37-53) months. Cumulative incidence of late grade 2 and 3 genitourinary toxic effects was 25% and 4%, respectively, and of late grade 2 and 3 gastrointestinal tract toxic effects was 3% and 3%, respectively. The proportion of patients with decrements more than 2-fold the MCID in PROs was 38.9% (37 of 95) for urinary incontinence, 17.9% (17 of 95) for urinary irritation, and 34.1% (31 of 91) for bowel function. Compared with the CFRT cohort, the adjusted odds ratio for patients receiving SBRT experiencing decrements more than 2-fold the MCID was 1.55 (95% CI, 0.87-2.76; P = .14) for urinary incontinence, 0.94 (95% CI, 0.46-1.94; P = .87) for urinary irritation, and 1.03 (95% CI, 0.57-1.84; P = .93) for bowel function. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this nonrandomized clinical trial, post-RP SBRT was well-tolerated, with no measurably different decline in urinary or bowel PROs through 2 years compared with CFRT. Randomized studies and longer follow-up will better define the toxic effects and efficacy profile of post-RP SBRT. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03541850.
重要性:对于根治性前列腺切除术后(RP)出现生化复发或不良病理特征的男性患者,术后放疗的应用率仍然较低。立体定向体部放疗(SBRT)可能会提高其利用率,并具有潜在的放射生物学优势。 目的:评估RP术后SBRT后医生报告的晚期毒性反应和2年患者报告结局(PROs)。 设计、设置和参与者:这项2期单臂试验在美国的2个学术中心进行,并纳入了一个对照队列。纳入RP术后前列腺特异性抗原大于0.03 ng/mL或具有不良病理特征的男性患者。数据收集时间为2018年2月至2021年3月,数据分析时间为2024年1月至10月。 干预措施:对前列腺床进行SBRT,分5次给予30至34 Gy。根据医生的判断进行淋巴结照射、对大体病变进行追加放疗和/或激素治疗。 主要结局和测量指标:根据不良事件通用术语标准第4.03版对晚期毒性反应(治疗后90天以上)进行分级。使用扩展前列腺癌指数-26来测量PROs。评估在最初2年内任何时间点PROs下降幅度大于最小临床重要差异(MCID)阈值两倍的男性患者比例。使用逻辑回归比较接受SBRT的男性患者的纵向PROs与200名接受术后常规分割放疗(CFRT)的男性患者队列,同时调整基线评分、年龄和淋巴结照射情况。 结果:在100例接受RP术后SBRT治疗的患者中,中位(IQR)年龄为68.5(63.9 - 71.4)岁,中位(IQR)随访时间为43(37 - 53)个月。晚期2级和3级泌尿生殖系统毒性反应的累积发生率分别为25%和4%,晚期2级和3级胃肠道毒性反应的累积发生率分别为3%和3%。PROs下降幅度大于MCID两倍的患者比例,尿失禁为38.9%(95例中的37例),尿路刺激症状为17.9%(95例中的17例),肠道功能为34.1%(91例中的31例)。与CFRT队列相比,接受SBRT的患者出现下降幅度大于MCID两倍的调整后优势比,尿失禁为1.55(95%CI,0.87 - 2.76;P = 0.14),尿路刺激症状为0.94(95%CI,0.46 - 1.94;P = 0.87),肠道功能为1.03(95%CI,0.57 - 1.84;P = 0.93)。 结论和相关性:在这项非随机临床试验中,RP术后SBRT耐受性良好,与CFRT相比,在2年内尿或肠道PROs的下降没有明显差异。随机研究和更长时间的随访将更好地确定RP术后SBRT的毒性反应和疗效特征。 试验注册:ClinicalTrials.gov标识符:NCT03541850。
