Intervention / Comparator Agent
Modification(s)  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Extreme hypofractionated RT(Test arm)  Patients in this arm will receive a course of 5 fractions of radiation; each fraction size will be 7.25 Gy. The total dose will be 36.25 Gy. All patients irrespective of nodal status will receive a dose of 25Gy in 5 # to the pelvic nodes. The 5 treatments will be scheduled to be delivered alternate day over 7-10 days.An option of equivalent biological dose using 35-36.25 Gy in 5 weekly fractions may be allowed for multicentric accrual in the future. 
Comparator Agent  Moderately hypofractioated RT(Standard arm)  Patients in this arm will receive a total dose of 68Gy in 25# to the primary over 5 weeks, with treatment being delivered daily. All patients irrespective of nodal status will receive a dose of 50Gy in 25# to the pelvic nodes.Boost to gross nodal disease will be considered based on the response to hormonal therapy to a dose of 60-66Gy/25# as a simultaneous integrated boost (SIB). An option of equivalent biological dose using 60-62.5 Gy in 20# may be allowed for multi-centric accrual in the future.

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1. To assess the 4 year Biochemical Failure free Survival (BFFS) between the two arms..  Four years 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1. To evaluate acute and late toxicity with both treatments.
2. To find the Prostate cancer specific survival and overall survival of patients receiving moderately hypofractionated RT and SBRT.
3. To estimate the out of pocket expenditure involved in patients receiving the two treatment schedules.
4. To assess quality of life
 
• All patients will follow up 3-6 weeks from end of radiotherapy, followed by 3-6 monthly for the first two years depending on the clinical need and 6 monthly thereafter.
• QOL will be assessed at baseline and 6 monthly using the QLQC30 and PR25 EORTC Questionnaire.

Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
The aim of the study is to compare the efficacy with SBRT and moderate hypo-fractionation in high risk and node positive prostate cancer.

Study Design and Randomization.
Patients will be randomized to one of the below mentioned arms using stratified block randomization method. 

Arm 1 (Standard arm): Moderate hypo-fractionated RT 66-68 Gy/25#
Arm 2 (Test arm): Extreme hypo-fractionated RT with SBRT 35-37.5 Gy/5#

Stratification :
Stratification will be done for the following parameters.
1. Nodal status: N0 Vs N+
2. Medical castration vs Surgical castration
3.Centre: TMC Mumbai Vs TMC Kolkata
