Mapping Cancer's next move: study tracks where prostate cancer returns after aggressive radiotherapy
NCT ID NCT07686016
First seen Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 700 men with prostate cancer that has spread to up to 10 spots in the body (oligometastatic). All receive radiotherapy to the prostate and to each visible metastasis, along with standard systemic therapy. Researchers collect real-world data from medical records to see where and when the cancer progresses after this comprehensive treatment. The goal is to understand patterns of failure and identify factors linked to better outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- radiotherapy
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors better predict and manage prostate cancer that has spread to a few spots, potentially improving treatment plans.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove what treatment works best. Results may vary based on routine care differences.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Patients with synchronous de novo oligometastatic prostate cancer, defined as metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma diagnosed at initial presentation or within 6 months of primary diagnosis, with up to 10 extraregional metastatic lesions. Patients are treated in routine clinical practice with definitive prostate-directed radiotherapy, which may include external-beam radiotherapy, brachytherapy boost, or definitive brachytherapy monotherapy, and metastasis-directed radiotherapy to all identified extraregional metastatic lesions.

Inclusion Criteria: * Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate. * Male sex. * Age 18 years or older. * Synchronous de novo metastatic prostate cancer diagnosed at initial presentation or within 6 months of primary prostate cancer diagnosis. * Up to 10 extraregional metastatic lesions on staging imaging used for clinical decision-making. * Treatment with definitive prostate-directed radiotherapy, including external-beam radiotherapy alone, external-beam radiotherapy with brachytherapy boost, or definitive prostate brachytherapy monotherapy in selected patients. * Treatment with SBRT or another ablative metastasis-directed radiotherapy approach to all identified extraregional metastatic lesions. * Availability of sufficient clinical, imaging, radiotherapy, systemic therapy, follow-up, adverse event, and survival data for outcome assessment. * For prospectively enrolled patients, ability to provide informed consent where required by local ethics and regulatory procedures. Exclusion Criteria: * More than 10 extraregional metastatic lesions at baseline staging. * Incomplete metastasis-directed therapy, defined as treatment of selected metastatic lesions only while leaving other known baseline extraregional metastatic sites untreated. * Prostate-directed radiotherapy delivered with palliative rather than definitive intent. * Missing key dates preventing outcome determination, including prostate-directed radiotherapy, brachytherapy, metastasis-directed SBRT dates, or follow-up information. * Prior definitive treatment of prostate cancer before diagnosis of synchronous metastatic disease. * Histology other than adenocarcinoma of the prostate.
