Stereotactic Radiotherapy Plus /- Hdr Boost For Unfavorable-Risk Prostate Cancer: Comparison Of Efficacy, Survival, And Late Toxicity Outcomes

372 Background: The ASCO/CCO guidelines recommend brachytherapy boost for all eligible intermediate- or high-risk localized prostate cancer patients. Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is an emerging treatment for prostate cancer but its use in high risk disease is limited. We compare efficacy, survival and late toxicity outcomes in patients treated on 2 prospective, phase 2 protocols that both use pelvic SBRT and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). One used MR-guided HDR brachytherapy boost (SPARE) and the other uses a SBRT boost (SATURN). Methods: SPARE was a phase I/II study where intermediate (IR) or high-risk (HR) prostate cancer patients received HDR-BT 15Gy x 1 to the prostate and up to 22.5Gy to the MRI nodule and followed by gantry-based SBRT 25Gy in 5 weekly fractions delivered to pelvis. ADT was used for 6-18 months. SATURN was a phase II study where high risk patients received 40Gy to prostate and 25Gy to pelvis along in 5 weekly fractions with 12-18 months ADT. CTCAEv3 was used to assess toxicities and was captured q6months x 5 years. Biochemical failure (BF; nadir + 2 definition), nadir PSA, proportion of patients with PSA < 0.4 ng/ml at 4 years (4yPSARR), incidence of salvage therapy, cause specific survival were calculated. Day 0 was first day of RT for all time-to-event analyses. Results: Thirty-two patients (NCCN 3% favorable IR, 47% unfavorable IR (UIR), 50% HR) completed SPARE while 30 patients (7% UIR, 93% HR) completed SATURN. Median follow-up of 50 and 48 months, respectively. Actuarial 4-year BF was 11.5% and 0%. Median nPSA was 0.02 ng/ml for both studies. 4yPSARR was 69% and 93%. 4-year cause-specific survival was 96% and 100%. Toxicities are listed in Table. Conclusions: In the context of SBRT pelvis and ADT, SBRT boost provides similar efficacy for unfavorable risk prostate cancer with acceptable but worse toxicities compared to HDR boost. A randomized study is recommended to answer this question. Clinical trial information: 01953055. [Table: see text]
