NCT ID NCT05133440

First seen Feb 01, 2026 · Last updated May 20, 2026 · Updated 17 times

Summary

This study tested whether adding a radioactive drug called radium-223 to standard targeted radiation (SBRT) helps control prostate cancer that has come back in a few places but is still hormone-sensitive. Twelve men participated and were randomly assigned to get either SBRT alone or SBRT plus radium-223. The goal was to see if the combination delays cancer progression longer than SBRT alone.
