Planning to undergo concurrent whole-pelvis SBRT and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). ADT may be initiated at any time per institutional standard, so long as ADT begins within 60 days of the start of radiotherapy. At least 18 years of age. ECOG performance status ≤ 1 Agreement to adhere to Lifestyle Considerations throughout study duration Able to complete relevant patient-reported quality-of-life questionnaires in the opinion of the treating physician. Able to understand and willing to sign an IRB approved written informed consent document. Exclusion Criteria: Definitive radiologic evidence of nodal (cN+) or metastatic (cM1) disease on conventional imaging (bone scan) or prostate cancer-specific PET/CT scan (NaF PET/CT, Axumin PET/CT, fluciclovine, choline, or PSMA PET/CT scan). Patients with lymph nodes ≥ 1 cm on short axis are ineligible unless the lymph node is read as benign by Radiology. Prior androgen deprivation therapy. (If the onset of androgen ablation is ≤ 60 days prior to treatment start, the patient is eligible.) Baseline PSA and testosterone must be obtained prior to start of treatment. Systemic chemotherapy within 3 years prior to treatment start. Prior radical prostatectomy, pelvic lymph node dissection, prostate cryotherapy, or high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) to the prostate. Prior pelvic radiotherapy. Presence of baseline CTCAE grade ≥ 2 GI or GU toxicity that does not resolve to grade 1 or less with appropriate intervention. cT4 disease.

Unable to get prostate fiducial markers placed for image guided radiation treatment. Rectal hydrogel is optional and is left to the discretion of the treating physician. More than 50% of the prostate is involved with cancer on MRI as determined by the treating physician. Patients with only PIRADS score of 3 lesions and no MR-fusion biopsy pathologic correlation. Hip prosthetic. Prior malignancy (except for non-melanoma skin cancer) unless disease-free for at least 2 years. Patients are not eligible if they have had a prior pelvic malignancy (e.g. bladder cancer, rectal cancer). Prior transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) within 3 months prior to registration. Uncontrolled intercurrent illness precluding RT and/or ADT including, but not limited to, seizures, myocardial infarction in the past 6 months, current severe or unstable angina pectoris, congestive heart failure requiring hospitalization in the past 6 months, uncontrolled active infection, uncontrolled hypertension, or any condition that in the opinion of the investigator would preclude participation in the study.

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Adaptive stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT)

Arm Description

Treatment consists of adaptive dose-escalated stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) to the pelvic nodes to 25 Gy in 5 weekly fractions with simultaneous integrated boosts (SIB) to the prostate and proximal seminal vesicles to 36.25 Gy in 5 fractions (full seminal vesicles if involved), to the prostate to 40 Gy in 5 fractions, and to the involved MR-detected nodule(s) to up to 50 Gy in 5 fractions. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) will be administered to study patients according to institutional standard. Unfavorable Intermediate-risk Disease: Patients should receive a minimum of 4 months of ADT. Patients can receive longer duration of ADT at the discretion of the treating physician. High-risk disease: Patients should receive a minimum of 1 year of ADT. Patients can receive up to 2 years of ADT at the discretion of the treating physician.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Rate of acute grade ≥3 GI and GU adverse events

Secondary Outcome Measures

Changes in patient-reported quality of life as measured by EPIC-26
-The EPIC-26 is used to assess health related quality of life among persons with prostate cancer. It contains 5 domains of urinary incontinence, urinary irritability/obstructive, bowel, sexual, and hormonal. Response options for each EPIC item form a Likert scale, and multi-item scale scores are transformed linearly to a 0-100 scale, with higher scores representing better health related quality of life.
Changes in global function as measured by EQ-5D-5L
-The EQ-5D-5L is a commonly used and reliable questionnaire used to assess patient perception of their current health state. Patients are asked about their levels of difficulty with mobility, self-care, and usual activities, and about their pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression levels on a 5-point scale where the response "I have no problems" = 1 and "I am unable/have extreme" = 5.
Rate of late GI and GU adverse events
Rate of acute grade ≥3 adverse events at least possibly related to radiotherapy
Rate of acute <grade 3 GI and GU adverse events
Rate of late grade ≥3 adverse events at least possibly related to radiotherapy
Failure-free survival
-Time from start of radiotherapy to biochemical relapse, radiographic recurrence with development of local, regional or distant metastases, or death to due to any cause
Biochemical recurrence free-survival
Biochemical recurrence free survival: Defined as a >2 ng/mL rise in the PSA above the nadir post initial treatment or evidence of radiographic progression. Time from start of radiotherapy to recurrence of prostate cancer by PSA criteria or radiographically)
Metastasis-free survival
-Time from start of radiotherapy treatment to radiographic diagnosis of metastatic disease (M1 disease) or death from any cause
Prostate cancer-specific mortality
-Time from start of radiotherapy to death due to prostate cancer.
Overall survival
-Time from start of radiotherapy to death from any cause

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This trial is a prospective clinical trial designed to demonstrate the safety and feasibility of whole-pelvis adaptive prostate stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) with a tumor boost to the magnetic resonance (MR)-detected sites of disease. The hypothesis is that this treatment approach will be safe and feasible with <15% of patients experiencing an acute CTCAEv5 grade ≥3 genitourinary (GU) or gastrointestinal (GI) adverse event.

Intervention Description
Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) will be administered to study patients according to institutional standard. Patients should initiate ADT beginning no sooner than 60 days prior to start of radiation. ADT is defined as a GnRH agonist/antagonist (leuprolide, goserelin, degarelix, or relugolix). Patients treated with leuprolide, goserelin, or degarelix should also receive an androgen receptor antagonist (flutamide or bicalutamide) for 30 days from the start of GnRH agonist/antagonist or until the end of radiation, depending on institutional standard and physician preference. Agent selection is per treating physician discretion and will be administered per institutional standard and FDA-approved labeling.
