Purpose: SpaceOAR, a Food and Drug Administration approved hydrogel intended to create a rectal prostate space, was evaluated in a single-blind phase III trial of image guided intensity modulated radiation therapy. A total of 222 men were randomized 2:1 to the spacer or control group and received 79.2 Gy in 1.8-Gy fractions to the prostate with or without the seminal vesicles. The present study reports the final results with a median follow-up period of 3 years.Methods and Materials: Cumulative (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 4.0) toxicity was evaluated using the log-rank test. Quality of life (QOL) was examined using the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC), and the mean changes from baseline in the EPIC domains were tested using repeated measures models. The proportions of men with minimally important differences (MIDs) in each domain were tested using repeated measures logistic models with pre specified thresholds.Results: The 3-year incidence of grade >= 1 (9.2% vs 2.0%; P=.028) and grade >= 2 (5.7% vs 0%; P=.012) rectal toxicity favored the spacer arm. Grade >= 1 urinary incontinence was also lower in the spacer arm (15% vs 4%; P=.046), with no difference in grade >= 2 urinary toxicity (7% vs 7%; P=0.7). From 6 months onward, bowel QOL consistently favored the spacer group (P=.002), with the difference at 3 years (5.8 points; P
