| Scientific title | Hyperbaric oxygen treatment of chronic refractory radiation proctitis: a randomized and controlled double-blind crossover trial with long-term follow-up |
| Study acronym | HORTIS - III |
| Study objectives | The principle objective of this research is to more precisely determine the degree of benefit that hyperbaric oxygen therapy affords in the treatment of late radiation tissue injury. The study has eight components. Seven involve evaluation of established radionecrosis at varying anatomic sites (mandible, larynx, skin, bladder, rectum, colon, and gynecology [GYN]). The eighth will investigate the potential of hyperbaric oxygen therapy to prophylax against late radiation tissue injury. This third study HORTIS-III will focus on patients with radiation cystitis. This study will also generate more precise "Benchmarking" data as to the complications associated with hyperbaric exposure, including incidence and degree of morbidity. Overview of the study can be found at: http://www.baromedicalresearch.org/pdf/HORTIS_Overview.pdf All HORTIS trials that have been registered with ISRCTN can be found at: http://www.controlled-trials.com/isrctn/search.html?srch=HORTIS&sort=3&dir=desc&max=10 |
| Ethics approval(s) | The study was approved by the Palmetto Health, Richland IRB in 2002 (ref: 2002-17). |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Radiation cystitis |
| Intervention | Patients will be initially randomized to receive either oxygen at 2.0 atmospheres absolute (ATA), or air at 1.0 ATA. The therapeutic algorithm is personalized to each patient's degree of response at specific points during their course of hyperbaric exposure. The total number of exposures will vary from between 20 and 40. Following a 30-day observation/"wash out" period, the allocation assignment will be opened. Patients randomized to the 1.0 ATA air group will be offered the opportunity to cross-over to the 2.0 ATA oxygen arm. The offer is mandatory, not so the requirement of the patient to cross-over. A therapeutic algorithm identical to the first randomization will be undertaken during any subsequent cross-over phase. |

| Primary outcome measure | The following will be assessed at pre-treatment, 3 and 6 months, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 years post-treatment: 1. Subjective Objective Signs Management and Analysis/Late Effect of Normal Tissue (SOMA/LENT) scores 2. Clinical evaluation |
| Secondary outcome measures | Quality of Life, assessed by the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC) questionnaire at pre-treatment, 3 and 6 months, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 years post-treatment. |
