This clinical trial studies the side effects and best dose of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT)-based adaptive stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) and to see how well it works in treating patients with intermediate- and favorable high-risk prostate adenocarcinoma. SBRT is one of the current radiation treatment approaches for prostate cancer which involves radiation delivered every other day for five treatments (fractions) over the course of 2-3 weeks. Commonly, a single radiation plan, based on computed tomography (CT) images (x-ray type images) taken before the start of radiation treatment, is used over the entire course of treatment. It is usual for the prostate to shift its position from day to day depending on how full or empty the bladder and rectum are. To account for these changes a typical radiation plan may treat a larger region of normal tissue around the prostate to make sure the tumor receives the intended dose. Recent advancements in radiation technology permit daily adjustment of the radiation plan to account for changes in prostate position and variations in the surrounding normal tissues. This means a new radiation plan can be created for every treatment visit based on what the patient's anatomy looks like that day. This approach is known as “adaptive SBRT”. In CBCT-based adaptive SBRT the plan is created using the advanced CBCT imaging technique and treatment planning software that are enhanced by artificial intelligence. This may allow for more precise targeting of the prostate and minimize radiation exposure to surrounding organs, including the urethra, bladder, rectum, and erectile tissue. CBCT-based adaptive SBRT may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with intermediate- and favorable high-risk prostate adenocarcinoma.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of dose escalated CT-based adaptive stereotactic body radiation therapy (DE-CART).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess the biochemical progression free survival following prostate DE-CART.
II. To assess local failure free survival rate following prostate DE-CART.
III. To assess biochemical response to treatment.
IV. To assess changes of patient reported outcomes-quality of life (PRO-QOL) at early post-treatment intervals.
V. To assess changes of PRO-QOL at late (1-2 years) post-treatment intervals.
VI. To assess metastasis free survival following prostate DE-CART.
VII. To assess feasibility of meeting treatment planning requirements of prostate DE-CART.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. Supervising physician assessment of fused magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET)/CT registration to align the simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) on the adaptive CBCT.
II. Accuracy of SIB alignment by MRI and PET/CT image by center of mass displacement.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.
Patients undergo CBCT followed by image-guided adaptive SBRT once every other day, Monday/Wednesday/Friday or Tuesday/Thursday, for 5 treatment fractions over 2-3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Additionally, patients undergo placement of prostate fiducial markers and rectal spacer and CT or MRI on study and blood sample collection throughout the study. Patients also undergo multiparametric MRI of the prostate (mpMRI) or prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT during screening and may undergo bone scan, CT, MRI, or PSMA PET/CT during follow up.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 6 weeks, 90 days, every 3 months for 1 year, and then every 6 months thereafter until death or up to 5 years following end of therapy, whichever occurs first.
