4 Dose-bDFS Relationship in Prostate Cancer Proportion of Patients Cancer-free (based on non-rising PSA) Fowler et al. IJROBP 56(4):

5 Randomized LDR+EBRT vs EBRT 398 Interm & high-risk 6.5 yrs median f/u Morris et al, ASCENDE-RT trial, IJROBP (in press)

6 SBRT: Theoretical Advantages Radiobiology of prostate CA may favor hypofractionation SBRT allows dose escalation to 100Gy (α/β=2gy) Improved dose conformality could spare adjacent normal tissues Brief treatment course offers convenience & cost saving

7 Background Single institution SBRT series have demonstrated Gy in 5 fractions using CyberKnife System is safe & effective Meta-analysis suggested trend in improved bdfs at 38-40Gy level Dose-escalation trial reported unacceptable toxicity with >45Gy

8 Hypotheses Across multiple community, regional and academic hospitals, precise delivery of SBRT at 8Gy x 5 level Is safe, with gr 3+ GU/GI toxicities 10% (a rate deemed excessive) In low-risk patients, would improve 5-year nadir + 2 bdfs, over 93% historical control rate expected w/ EBRT

9 Primary Safety Objective For both the low- and intermediate-risk groups: 101 pts required, for 90% power to identify excessive toxicity (one-sided 5% significance level) Accounting for ineligible pts, enrollment of 129 pts into each group was required

10 Primary Efficacy Objective: Low-risk Pts

11 Patient Eligibility Prostate adenocarcinoma, confirmed by central pathologic review Clinical staging stratified into risk groups: Low-risk: CS T1-T2a, Gleason 6, PSA<10ng/ml Intermediate-risk: CS T1-T2b, Gleason=7 & PSA<10ng/ml; or Gleason<6 & PSA 10-20ng/ml Other enrollment criteria: No previous treatment ECOG 0-1 No previous pelvic RT No concomitant or adjuvant hormone therapy Prostate volume 100 cc

12 Patient and Tumor Characteristic Entire Group Low-risk Interm-risk Evaluable patients Number Age (years) Median Prostate Volume (ml) Mean Clinical Stage T1b 3 (1%) 1 (0.6%) 2 (1%) T1c 244 (79%) 140 (81%) 104 (76%) T2a 53 (17%) 31 (18%) 22 (16%) T2b 9 (3%) 0 9 (7%) Initial PSA (ng/ml) Mean Gleason Score (65%) 172 (100%) 30 (22%)

13 SBRT Platform: CyberKnife System Real-time tracking implanted fiducials, correction for both translational & rotational motion Non-isocentric treatment, approx beams

14 Treatment Planning MRI fusion to assist target localization Prostate prescribed 8Gy x 5 = 40Gy: EQD 2,α/β=2 = 100Gy 2 nd Rx of 7.25Gy x 5 to: Low-risk: Prostate + 3-5mm Interm-risk pts: Prostate + 2cm seminal vesicles + 3-5mm

15 Normal Tissue Constraints Structure Constraint Revised Constraint Rectum V36Gy < 1cc Bowel V30Gy < 1cc Bladder V37Gy < 5-10cc V37Gy < 2cc Penile bulb D50 < 29.5Gy Prostatic urethra* D20 < 47Gy D20 < 42Gy Membranous urethra* D50 < 37Gy Neurovascular bundles* D50 < 38Gy D50 < 37.5Gy Testes no beams may traverse *if visualized

16 Assessments & Follow Up Toxicities were assessed using CTCAE v3 criteria Patient-reported quality of life outcomes were assessed with the EPIC-26 Actuarial survival outcomes were calculated using Kaplan Meier methods. Median follow-up was 61 months.

17 No Gr 4-5 toxicities RESULTS: Safety Five grade 3 side effects occurred in 4 pts, far below the 10% rate considered excessive: In low-risk group: Two pts (1.2%) had 3 Gr3 toxicities, p<0.001 In interm-risk group: Two pts (1.5%) had 2 Gr3 toxicities, p<0.001

18 Toxicities All grade 3 toxicities were GU and occurred between 11 and 51 months after treatment: Hematuria requiring cystoscopy in 2 pts Urinary obstruction & associated infection Bladder/ureter injury requiring ureteral stent Five patients (1.6%) developed urinary retention which required a temporary catheter placement. Seven patients were diagnosed with bladder cancers between 21 and 50 months after treatment.

33 All Patients: Overall Survival

34 All Patients: Relapse Free Survival (Nadir +2)

35 Low-risk Patients 5-yr Nadir+2 Disease-Free Survival 93% expected from EBRT historical controls 97.3% SBRT rate proved superior to historic comparison P=0.014 ASTRO definition = 92.3%

36 Intermediate-risk Patients 5-yr Nadir+2 Disease-Free Survival ASTRO definition = 91.3%

37 Conclusions Using the CyberKnife platform, dose-escalated prostate SBRT is safe, with a low rate of serious side effects. QOL outcomes show a brief acute effect on GI & GU QOL; Urinary irritative symptoms at 1 year resolve 5-year biochemical relapse rates following SBRT are very favorable compared to historical data CyberKnife SBRT is a suitable option for low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer, and may be preferable to other treatment approaches.
