Gel shield aims to spare men painful bowel damage from prostate cancer treatment

NCT ID NCT04905069

Summary

This study is testing whether a temporary gel called SpaceOAR Vue can protect the bowel from damage during a precise type of radiation therapy for prostate cancer. The goal is to see if the gel reduces serious bowel side effects like pain, bleeding, or diarrhea that can occur months after treatment. It involves 500 men with intermediate-risk prostate cancer who are scheduled to receive stereotactic body radiotherapy.
