Study Summary
This trial is testing a new, shorter course of ADT combined with standard prostate brachytherapy and hypofractionated external beam radiation therapy to see if it is effective in preventing high-risk prostate cancer from recurring or spreading.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for men over 18 with high-risk prostate cancer, who haven't had certain other cancers in the last 2 years or treatments like TURP. They should be fit enough for anesthesia and have a life expectancy over 5 years. A genomic score ≤0.6 and no inflammatory bowel disease are also required.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if a shorter hormone therapy combined with standard brachytherapy (internal radiation) and hypofractionated external beam radiation can effectively prevent the return or spread of high-risk prostate cancer.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include urinary issues, bowel problems, sexual dysfunction due to brachytherapy; fatigue, skin reactions from external radiation; and hot flashes, mood swings from hormone therapy.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Hormone Therapy and RadiationExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Patients enrolled in this study will receive ADT for 6 months which will consist of bicalutamide 50 mg PO daily starting approximately 1-2 weeks before leuprolide 22.5mg injected every 3 months. The HDR prostate brachytherapy procedure will be performed approximately 3 months after starting ADT to allow for potential radiosensitization and cytoreduction. Approximately 4 weeks after the HDR boost, patients will receive image-guided, intensity-modulated, hypofractionated radiation therapy targeting the prostate, seminal vesicles and pelvic lymph nodes to a dose of 25 Gy in 5 fractions delivered daily.
