| NCT03525262 | Prostate Oncologic Therapy While Ensuring Neurovascular Conservation (POTEN-C) | PHASE2 | ACTIVE NOT_RECRUITING | 124 | — | — | Apr 24, 2018 | Apr 1, 2029 | Jun 5, 2026 | 8 | United States |
To compare the decline in patient health-related quality of life (HRQOL) instrument-defined erectile dysfunction following stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SAbR) with or without neurovascular sparing. The Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC) health-related quality of life (HRQOL) instrument includes four sub-scales like urinary function, bowel habits, sexual function, and hormonal function. The primary outcome (sexual function) which has a range score of 0-100 from 9 questions related to ability to achieve an erection with or without aids and participate in intercourse. Higher the score represents the better outcome. Individual responses are summed for a total score of sexual function.
| Arm | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| SAbR WITHOUT Neurovascular sparing | NO_INTERVENTION | * GTV represents MR defined dominant radiographic disease, if identifiable. * CTV encompasses the full prostate. At physician's discretion, the insertion of the seminal vesicle upon the prostate on slices containing prostate may be included. * PTV1\_30Gy will not be used or created on this arm * PTV2\_SAbR40Gy OR PTV2\_SAbR45Gy will be generated by a 3mm expansion on the CTV. PTV2\_SAbR will receive 8-9 Gy per fraction for 5 fractions (40-45 Gy). |
| SAbR WITH Neurovascular sparing | EXPERIMENTAL | * GTV represents MR defined dominant radiographic disease, if identifiable. * CTV encompasses the full prostate. At physician's discretion, the insertion of the seminal vesicle upon the prostate on slices containing prostate may be included. * PTV1\_30Gy represents a 3mm expansion on the CTV, excluding the neurovascular structures on the side to be spared (left or right). PTV1 will receive 6 Gy per fraction for 5 fractions (30 Gy). * PTV2\_SAbR40Gy OR PTV2\_SAbR45Gy will be generated by subtracting a 5mm expansion around the neurovascular elements to be spared (at least one side, left or right) from PTV1. These neurovascular structures consist of the neurovascular bundle, penile bulb, and internal pudendal arteries (see 4.1.5.2.16). PTV2 will receive 8-9 Gy per fraction for 5 fractions (40-45 Gy). |
| Name | Type | Description |

| 30Gy (Gray) planning target volume (PTV) | RADIATION | PTV1\_30Gy represents a 3mm expansion on the prostate (and proximal seminal vesicle per physician discretion), excluding the neurovascular structures on the side to be spared (left or right). PTV1 will receive 6 Gy per fraction for 5 fractions (30 Gy). |
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥ 18 years. 2. Appropriate staging studies identifying patient as AJCC 7th edition clinical stage T1 (a, b, or c) or T2 (a, b, or c) adenocarcinoma of the prostate gland. The patient should not have direct evidence of regional or distant metastases after appropriate stagi...
