Radiation Therapy With RapidPlan Knowledge-based Planning vs Human-Driven Planning for Treatment of Prostate Cancer

RecruitingPhase 3

Sponsor: Mayo Clinic

Conditions: Prostate Carcinoma

Interventions: Biospecimen Collection, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Photon Beam Radiation Therapy, Positron Emission Tomography, Questionnaire Administration

Countries: United States

This phase III trial compares the effects of radiation therapy using RapidPlan, trademark, knowledge-based planning to human-driven planning in treating patients with prostate cancer. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Successful delivery of radiation requires planning to develop a treatment plan for how and where the radiation is to be delivered. RapidPlan is a knowledge-based treatment planning tool that automatically creates an optimal treatment plan based on identified targets and organs at risk for radiation exposure. Human-driven treatment planning by a dosimetrist, the current standard of care, requires significant resources and time and may vary within and among radiation centers. Giving radiation therapy with RapidPlan knowledge-based planning may have similar or less side effects compared to human-driven planning in treating patients with prostate cancer.

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

* Patients must be at least 18 years old

* In case of confusion about the eligibility or ineligibility of an individual patient, the principal investigator (PI) can be used as the arbiter and a note to file will be added to the subject's regulatory binder to document outcome

Exclusion Criteria:

* Previous pelvic radiation \> 5 Gy
