This is a single-arm Phase II clinical trial assessing the clinical efficacy of prostate
specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/MR guided MR-LINAC based SBRT-SIB with planned
accrual of 50 patients.

Localized prostate cancer can be treated in 5 sessions using a precise, targeted form of
radiation known as stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), with low toxicity. Despite
these advances, overall outcomes for aggressive (high risk) prostate cancer remain poor,
with 10-year recurrence-free survival of approximately 65% regardless of treatment
modality. Recurrences are typically distant and carry poor prognosis, with 5 year
survival of 25%. The investigators propose to utilize the latest advances in cancer
imaging (PSMA Positron Emission Tomography (PET)/Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MR)) and
radiation delivery (MR-guided radiation therapy with real-time adaptive planning), to
deliver a personalized radiation treatment that targets the areas of greatest risk of
recurrence in the prostate with improved precision, and as a result improve clinical
outcomes for individuals with high risk prostate cancer. PSMA PET/MR is a novel imaging
modality, not yet widely available, that augments the tissue detail provided by MR. The
combination of PSMA PET with MR results in improved delineation of intraprostatic nodules
and higher diagnostic accuracy for detection of metastatic disease compared to
conventional imaging. PSMA PET/MR imaging data is readily transferable to a MR-based
linear accelerator (MR-LINAC), a novel, innovative platform that allows direct
visualization of the tumor during treatment, and permits real-time individualized
correction for motion with online adaptive radiation planning.
