1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 OVERVIEW OF MANUAL

This document is confidential. It is to be used by PCG members only in conjunction with the PCG protocol. No other use or reproduction is authorized by the Study Chair nor does the Study Chair assume any responsibility for unauthorized use of this document.

This Study Procedures Manual (SPM) complements Protocol PCG GU003-10 by providing additional information and clarification about the following: how the clinical and administrative aspects of the study should be conducted to aid in ensuring compliance with the protocol, the principals of Good Clinical Practice (GCP), all applicable federal regulations and Proton Collaborative Group (PCG) requirements.

All individuals who are responsible for conducting Protocol PCG GU003-10 should refer to this SPM in conjunction with the protocol.

1.2 MANUAL REVISIONS

A copy of the original SPM will be issued to the study site at or prior to the site initiation. If revisions to the SPM become necessary, the revised SPM, with the revision date on the front cover will be distributed to the investigative site.

The investigative site study coordinator will be responsible for placing the revised SPM in the investigator’s study files and utilizing the current SPM.

1.3 REGULATORY PROCEDURES

This study must be conducted according to applicable regulations stated in title 21 of the United States Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and the ICH Good Clinical Practice (GCP): Consolidated Guideline (ICH E6). Additional requirements are also outlined in protocol.

As specified in ICH E6, sections 4.9 and 8, the investigator is responsible for retaining all study-related documentation.

The study site’s regulatory documents must be current with PCG HQ prior to participation in this study. This study will be conducted only at institutions who are members of PCG. The respective local institutional review board (IRB), independent ethics committee (IEC), or central IRB must be used during this study to grant approval for research conduct at each site. The GU003-10 protocol has been approved as a multi-site study through Western IRB (WIRB). Sites that are not obligated to use a local IRB may submit the study to WIRB using their short form process. The study monitor can assist those sites with the WIRB submission but the site is still ultimately responsible for assuring compliance with all IRB related regulations and policies.

If needed per site or IRB requirements, a complete CRF template packet is available by contacting [email protected].

V2016Oct14 Page 5

Samples of forms to meet regulatory requirements, such as a Delegation Log and Subject Identification List are available at: http://pcgresearch.org/login/. When utilizing these templates, the original should be maintained, and updates should be made to the original to maintain legibility of the document after multiple changes.

1.4 INVESTIGATOR RESPONSIBILITIES

The site Principal Investigator (PI) is responsible for all aspects of the clinical research protocol being conducted at their site. For those protocols that involve chemotherapy and/or surgical intervention, the PI must work closely with their designated medical oncologist or surgeon to assure protocol compliance and protection of human research subjects. It is highly recommended that the site PI host a meeting with designated surgeon(s) or medical oncologist(s) to review the protocol prior to enrollment of subjects.

Protocol changes or amendments that may affect the modality must be circulated to all participating surgeons and/or medical oncologists at the institution.

If patient protocol compliance appears to be a problem, or if the protocol regimen will not be followed by the attending physician, the patient should not be entered into a study. Problems with treatment compliance or surgical or medical oncology data submission will be referred to the site PI for resolution. Problems that persist will be referred to the Study Chair.

1.5 GENERAL RESEARCH CONSIDERATIONS/EXPECTATIONS

Revisions to paper or electronic documents (source, regulatory and/or CRF) must follow acceptable guidelines:

• Original electronic or paper documentation must be maintained.• Be sure the revisions are clearly identifiable in either paper or electronicrecords. On paper documents, use a single line to cross through the informationbeing changed and initialize the revision. You may circle the question or writeon top of the page specific items that have been revised.• Do not use whiteout or highlighter.

Laboratory results must be reported in US equivalents unless otherwise specified.

All source documents including required reports (e.g., pathology, surgery) must be in English.

1.6 MONITORING PROCEDURES

In order to assure data integrity for the GU003-10 protocol, sites will be monitored following the PCG clinical trial monitoring SOP by the study monitor or other applicable PCG staff.

Prior to the first subject enrollment, the study monitor or other assigned PCG staff will conduct a site initiation visit. This may be done in person or via teleconference. It is expected that the site research staff will have read the protocol and this SPM prior to

CONFIDENTIAL Proton Collaborative Group Study Procedures Manual GU003-10

V2016Oct14 Page 6

this meeting. The goal of this meeting is to assure the staff are qualified and prepared to comply with the protocol and all related study procedures.

Each site participating in this study will be subject to remote monitoring every three months. Monitoring will be conducted by a member of the PCG staff and will include the following: • A full source verification of 10% of all active study patients at that site• A 100% source verification for critical data as defined by the August 2013 Food and

Drug Administration Guidance for Industry: Oversight of Clinical Investigations- ARisk-Based Approach to Monitoring.

o Verification that informed consent was obtained properlyo Adherence to protocol eligibilityo Source verification and review of all SAEs and any grade 3 or higher AEo Source verification for any treatment failures or deaths

• Review of the site regulatory files• Review of any outstanding queries

Sites will also be subject to on-site monitoring or more frequent remote monitoring if issues are identified that could disrupt the integrity of the trial or compromise patient safety.

Sites will be notified by email at least one week in advance of each remote monitoring visit. Reports of all findings will be sent to the site’s study staff, including the Principal Investigator if requested, within one week of monitoring completion. The site will be responsible for addressing all findings prior to the start of the next monitoring visit for this study.

2.0 ELIGIBILITY AND ENROLLMENT

2.1 INFORMED CONSENT

Informed consent must be obtained from subjects before they can be enrolled in the study (and entered in Velos) as specified in 21 CFR 50 (Protection of Human Subjects) and ICH E6 Section 4.8. The subject must sign the IRB approved consent form. In the Food and Drug Administration Information Sheets dated September 1998, the following specifications are made and adopted by PCG as policy:

Procedures that are to be performed as part of the practice of medicine and which would be done whether or not study entry was contemplated, such as diagnosis or treatment of disease or medical condition, may be performed and the results subsequently used for determining study eligibility without first obtaining consent. On the other hand, informed consent must be obtained prior to initiation of any clinical screening procedure that is performed solely for the purpose of determining eligibility for research. When a doctor-patient relationship exists, prospective subjects may not realize that clinical tests performed solely for determining eligibility for research enrollment are not

CONFIDENTIAL Proton Collaborative Group Study Procedures Manual GU003-10

V2016Oct14 Page 7

required for their medical care. Physician-Investigators should take extra care to clarify with their patient-subjects why certain tests are being conducted.

In addition, in the United States each subject must sign and date the authorization for use and disclosure of Protected Health Information (PHI) under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) before the investigational site can transmit any PHI. Note that it is acceptable to combine the informed consent with the HIPAA authorization; in this case, only a single signature and date is required.

2.2 SUBJECT REGISTRATION

Refer to the Eligibility Worksheet (available either at our website (www.pcgresearch.org) or in Appendix I) for information required prior to patient registration. Once the investigator verifies a subject’s eligibility, the subject will be registered in the Proton Collaborative Group’s Electronic Data Capture (EDC) system. Please see the EDC Manual (section 1.4) for detailed instructions on registering a subject in the EDC system.

• Upon entering a new eligible subject into Velos eResearch, a unique patientidentification number (Pt Study ID) will be assigned. The first three digitsrepresent the site number. The last four digits are assigned sequentially forpatients enrolled at the site. The Pt Study ID (i.e. 002-0001) will be used for theremainder of the study to identify the enrolled subject.

• Once randomization questions are completed and submitted, an e-mail will besent to the site assigning the treatment arm. It is recommended that sitesmaintain all randomization e-mails for regulatory purposes.

• Notes:o Radiation treatment must begin within 56 days after randomization

for Arm 1 and 56 days after starting LHRH agonist treatment in arm 2.o Per protocol section 5.5, the first 3 treatment plans at each site must

be reviewed and approved prior to starting treatment. See section 10.0for additional information regarding treatment plan reviews.

2.3 INVESTIGATOR REFUSAL

An investigator should not enroll patients in a study unless s/he has reviewed the protocol and agrees to accept all of the study treatment options. Failure to accept an assigned option may result in suspension of the investigator from further enrollment in the study.

2.4 PATIENT REFUSAL

All treatment options in a study must be explained to potential study participants and the role of randomization explained. If a patient changes his mind and is unwilling to start or continue with the assigned option, PCG should be notified in writing. Please see section 6.0 for additional information on subject withdrawal.

CONFIDENTIAL Proton Collaborative Group Study Procedures Manual GU003-10

V2016Oct14 Page 8

3.0 VISIT WINDOWS AND SCHEDULE OF TIME AND EVENTS

The study will be conducted on an outpatient basis. The study must be conducted according to the schedule of time and events provided in the GU003-10 protocol. See protocol Section 4.0 for study specific patient assessments.

In order to assure subject safety and integrity of the study, follow-up visits should be completed per the Study Parameters table in the GU003-10 protocol (Section 4.1). However, PCG allows windows for the completion of follow up visits, as indicated below. If follow up visits are missed or completed outside of these windows, you will be required to complete a Deviation Report Form (see section 4.2). Please see the EDC Manual for instructions regarding how to enter a Missed or Out of Window visit.

• For the 3 and 6 month follow-ups, +/- 45 day window• For 12, 18, and 24 month follow-ups, +/-60 day window• For 36 month and greater follow ups, +/-90 day window

4.0 PROTOCOL EXCEPTIONS AND DEVIATIONS

4.1 PROTOCOL EXCEPTIONS

No protocol exceptions will be granted for this study. Contact the PCG Study Monitor for any questions regarding eligibility.

4.2 PROTOCOL DEVIATIONS

It is expected that the protocol will be followed without variation. However, if a protocol procedure is not completed according to the protocol, a Deviation Report Form must be completed upon discovery and emailed to [email protected] (form available at www.pcgesearch.org). All deviations will be reported to the Study Chair by the Study Monitor who will determine if further action is warranted.

If the site is aware that a deviation will occur, for example if a patient refuses to return to the office for follow-up but is willing to complete visit assessments by phone, the site can request that the Study Chair grant a planned deviation (deviation waver) Note to File (NTF). This will be kept in the site’s regulatory file as well in PCG’s Trial Master File. In certain circumstances, the subject may be changed to Follow-Up Off Protocol status after discussion with PCG staff (please see the EDC Manual for status details).

5.0 DATA SAFETY MONITORING

Data will be reviewed by the PCG Data Safety Monitoring Board, as required per the protocol. A summary of this report will be sent to participating sites for submission to their IRB, if required.

CONFIDENTIAL Proton Collaborative Group Study Procedures Manual GU003-10

V2016Oct14 Page 9

6.0 SUBJECT WITHDRAWAL AND LOST TO FOLLOW-UP GUIDELINES

6.1 EARLY WITHDRAWAL

All treatment options in a study must be explained to potential study participants and the role of randomization explained, if applicable. If a patient changes his/her mind and is unwilling to start or continue with the assigned option, notify the Lead Study Monitor and/or PCG headquarters (HQ) in writing. Instructions regarding collection of future data will be given on a case by case basis in collaboration with the Study Chair and Statistician.

Subjects may choose to withdraw from a study at any time. There are two scenarios for withdrawal: 1) withdrawal from study only or 2) withdrawal from study AND withdrawal of consent. The medical and study record must reflect the specific wishes of the subject and the following procedures should be followed:

a) Subject withdraws from study but does NOT withdraw consent. For example, thesubject may not want to continue prescribed treatment, he/she does not wish to followall protocol assessments, or he/she does not want to participate in follow-up visits.However, consent remains in place to allow for continued use of data collection and usefor research. If the patient decides to discontinue follow-up with the PCG investigator,this too is acceptable; however, a process to obtain information from other sourcesshould be discussed, i.e. release of information by other sources, etc. If this is notacceptable to the patient, the investigator should encourage the patient and requestpermission to submit survival status data. Although the patient has the right to refusesubmission of all data, she/he should be informed that failure to provide survival statusand information about treatment toxicity may adversely affect the study results. A“release of information” document may need to be signed by the patient. The policy andduration of the release may differ among institutions.

b) Patient withdraws from the study AND withdraws consent. This must be documentedin writing by the patient to the site PI. This document must then be forwarded to PCG HQ.Per regulations, information that has previously been collected may still be used but nonew information will be gathered or used.

6.2 LOST TO FOLLOW-UP

If absolutely no information is available regarding the status of the patient, a follow-up form should still be submitted per the protocol follow-up schedule listing all efforts made to obtain patient information. Examples:

o Call patient – if patient refuses to come to the clinic for a visit, conduct a phoneinterview to obtain as much information for the protocol as possible

o Send certified letter- requesting patient to contact the siteo Check Social Security Death Indexo Contact Emergency Contacto Contact other medical providers for information on patient statuso Contact local tumor registry for update on patient status

CONFIDENTIAL Proton Collaborative Group Study Procedures Manual GU003-10

V2016Oct14 Page 10

Note: If the only information available is that the patient is alive, this must be reported on the follow-up form noting the date and patient status. The remainder of the form can be filled out by marking Unknown.

In the event that there is no information regarding the patient status over a period of 2 consecutive years past the last missed follow up visit (and above attempts made at least every 6 months), the patient will be deemed “Lost to Follow-up” with the status being appropriately changed in the Electronic Data Capture System (EDC) to “Lost to F/U”. At this point no further follow-up forms will be expected but collected data will remain in the database and utilized for analysis. If the patient is located after being deemed “Lost to Follow-up”, complete a Follow-up Form with the information collected and contact PCG regarding revising status.

The principal investigator of an institution with frequent occurrences of lost patients may be requested to submit in writing a Corrective Action Plan to avoid additional lost to follow-up occurrences.

7.0 TRANSFER SUBJECT TO ANOTHER FACILITY

To transfer a protocol patient to another PCG institution with protocol approval, the investigator who originally enrolled the patient must submit a written request to the Study Monitor and/or PCG HQ via the Patient Transfer Form, available at www.pcgresearch.org.

Issues related to medical insurance are the responsibility of the investigators involved in the case transfer. All delinquent data through the date of transfer should be resolved before the transfer. Subsequent to case transfer, responsibility for all data requests and data submission is transferred to the recipient investigator including institutional requirements.

Transfer of cases from a PCG member institution to a member of a different cooperative group or transfer of a case from another cooperative group to a PCG member institution cannot be made.

8.0 DATA ENTRY

8.1 PCG ELECTRONIC DATA CAPTURE SYSTEM

For instructional guidance on how to log in, update password, register patients and enter data utilizing the PCG EDC System, please access the EDC Manual, which is available on the PCG website (www.pcgresearch.org).

8.1 QUALITY OF LIFE FORMS DATA

Quality of Life Forms (QoL) information will be collected and entered utilizing the PCG EDC system. The survey being used is The Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC v 2.2002), which is available on the PCG website (www.pcgresearch.org). For sites utilizing VTOC, a pdf of the form can be uploaded into the Appendix. For sites not utilizing VTOC, responses need to be entered into the Patient Surveys section. Contact PCG headquarters (HQ) for further questions and details.

CONFIDENTIAL Proton Collaborative Group Study Procedures Manual GU003-10

V2016Oct14 Page 11

If the patient cannot complete the form on his own, he should be given assistance to complete the form electronically either at the time of his clinic visit or over the phone.

If the patient is unable to enter the information himself, staff may assist but should limit assistance as much as possible in order to avoid any bias. Patients should be instructed to read the brief directions at the top of the page. After it has been confirmed that the patient understands the directions, patients should be encouraged to answer all items, in order, without skipping any. If the patient feels an item does not apply to him, he should be encouraged to choose the response that is the most applicable. Patients should complete the questionnaires without coaching by staff. Once completed, research staff should verify that every item has been answered and remind the patient to answer any questions that were missed. If the patient declines to respond to any item, or the entire form, staff should document an explanatory response in the patient’s medical/source record.

It is important to note that the QoL forms are utilized to collect patient reported outcomes whereby physician and nurse assessments and documentation are a separate research data source. Staff should not try to cross reference the information given on the QoL forms with their own assessment of the patient’s condition. The answers on the QoL forms should not be used to “quiz” the patient but rather kept as confidential as possible in order to avoid influencing the patient responses. The information provided by the patient in the completed questionnaires is confidential and should not be discussed with, or shown to, anyone who is not a member of the study team.

8.3 DATA SUBMISSION SCHEDULE

The below electronic case reports forms must be completed for each patient within the timeframes indicated below via PCG’s EDC System. Data should be submitted in a timely manner to assure subject safety and meet high data integrity standards. As per PCG Policy, sites will be periodically evaluated for continued membership; timely data submissions are part of that evaluation.

V2016Oct14 Page 12

* Patient follow-up visits will be completed as outlined in the protocol at 3 months;at 6 months and every 6 months x 3; yearly up to year 5; every 2 years thereafter.

In addition to the above eCRFs, paper forms may need to be completed during the study. These forms are referenced throughout this SPM in pertinent sections, and are available either at our website (www.pcgresearch.org) or in Appendix I.

9.0 ADVERSE EVENT AND UNANTICPATED PROBLEM REPORTS

9.1 ADVERSE EVENT REPORTING

All adverse event information related to protocol therapy will be collected in the EDC system according to protocol specifications. The severity of the AEs and SAES will be graded using the CTCAE v4 criteria.

For the GU003-10 protocol, only possibly, probably or definitely related (to radiation) adverse events will be collected. Sites are strongly encouraged to use the GU Study Adverse Events Assessment form (available either at our website (www.pcgresearch.org) or in Appendix I).

9.2 SERIOUS ADVERSE EVENT REPORTING

If the subject experiences a Serious Adverse Event as defined by the protocol, a Serious Adverse Event Report Form must be completed and submitted to PCG HQ via e-mail within one business day of when the investigator or site becomes aware of the event. The SAE form must be updated and resubmitted when any new information regarding the event is known.

In addition, adverse events meeting all of the following criteria must be reported to PCG by contacting PCG HQ within 1 business day of the time the investigator becomes aware of them:

• Unexpected (in terms of nature, severity, or frequency) given (a) the researchprocedures that are described in the protocol-related documents, such as the IRB-approved research protocol and informed consent document, or the InvestigatorBrochure; and (b) the characteristics of the subject population being studied; and

• Related or possibly related to participation in the research (possibly related meansthere is a reasonable possibility that the incident, experience, or outcome may havebeen caused by the drugs, devices or procedures involved in the research); and

• Suggests that the research places subjects or others at a greater risk of harm(including physical, psychological, economic, or social harm) than was previouslyknown or recognized.

The Study Monitor or other designated staff will determine additional steps and work with the site to complete the applicable documentation. As a reminder, sites are responsible for following the reporting requirements of AEs, SAEs, and unanticipated problems set forth per their own IRB policies and procedures since requirements may vary among IRBs. These reporting requirements may differ from those set forth by PCG.

CONFIDENTIAL Proton Collaborative Group Study Procedures Manual GU003-10

V2016Oct14 Page 13

9.3 UNANTICIPATED PROBLEMS

Reporting Unanticipated Problems that are not Adverse Events Investigators are to report Unanticipated Problems that fit the following criteria within 5 working days of becoming aware of them by contacting the Study Monitor or PCG HQ: • Unanticipated problems that do not fit the definition of an adverse event, but which

may, in the opinion of the investigator, involve risk to the subject, affect others inthe research study, or significantly impact the integrity of research data. Forexample, report occurrences of breaches of confidentiality, or accidentaldestruction of study records.

• Unplanned protocol deviations/violations that have already occurred, that mayadversely affect the rights, safety or welfare of subjects or the integrity of theresearch data, AND that meet the definition of an unanticipated problem (i.e., itinvolves risk to subjects or other people).

10.0 CENTRAL REVIEW OF TREATMENT PLANS

Per section 5.5 of the GU003-10 protocol, the first 3 cases enrolled into the study at each site must be reviewed by a PCG Medical Physicist, the site Dosimetrist who completed the treatment plan and the Study Chair or designee, prior to start of treatment. These reviews are typically performed locally or via web conference and arranged by the Study Monitor. However, if any treatment plan documents are submitted to PCG, they should be de-identified and the subject number indicated. The Dosimetry Form (available at www.pcgresearch.org and in Appendix I) should be completed to verify and document protocol compliance for treatment planning. This meeting, held at the earliest convenience of all parties, is to review the treatment plan, resolve issues and approve to begin treatment. Additional cases will undergo the same review process as determined by PCG.

Once the treatment plan is approved, the Dosimetry Form will be completed and signed by the site Dosimetrist, and provided to the Study Monitor, who will then obtain the signatures of the PCG Physicist and Study Chair. The PCG Monitor will return the completed Dosimetry Form to the site for their files to document the plan was approved and will maintain a copy for PCG files. Approval by the PCG Physicist representative and Study Chair or Designee will be documented.

The Dosimetry Form should be completed and provided to PCG for all subjects treated on PCG protocol GU003-10 (via uploading in the Velos Appendix). However, if a central review of the treatment plan is not required for that subject, the PCG Study Chair and PCG Physicist signatures are not required. The lack of a Dosimetry Form will be consider being non-compliant with the protocol. In the event of non-compliance, a Deviation Report Form will need to be sent to PCG HQ.

11.0 NONCOMPLIANCE Research sites that fail to comply with protocol, PCG policies/procedures, GCP and/or FDA regulations, may be subjected to develop and comply with a Corrective Action Plan to prevent future issues.

Continued or chronic noncompliance with protocol, policies/procedures, regulations or corrective action plans could result in study closure at the research center.
