What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests whether giving prostate cancer radiation in just 2 sessions is as safe and effective as the standard 5-session approach. About 100 men with low- or intermediate-risk prostate cancer will be randomly assigned to one of the two schedules. Both groups will use advanced prostate tracking and a rectal spacer to protect nearby organs. The study also explores whether an AI tool can improve targeting, but it won't be used to guide actual treatment yet.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) with prostate tracking and rectal spacer
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a 2-session radiation approach is as safe and effective as the standard 5-session one, offering men a quicker, more convenient treatment option with fewer side effects.
What could go wrong
This is a mid-stage trial with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The 2-session method uses higher radiation doses per session, which could increase side effects despite precautions.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * • Age 18 or older. * Able to provide informed consent. * ECOG performance status 0 - 2. * Fit for all protocol treatment and follow-up. * Life Expectancy \> 5 years. * Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate, NCCN low or intermediate risk, with biopsy performed within the last 18 months: Low risk = cT1-T2a,Gleason ≤ 6, and PSA \< 10ng/mL. Intermediate risk = at least one of: cT2b/T2c, PSA 10-20ng/mL, or Gleason 7, but not high risk. * 6 months of Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) is permitted for those with NCCN unfavorable intermediate risk disease (aka high-tier intermediate risk disease), defined as intermediate risk disease with one or more of: two or three intermediate risk features, Gleason 4+3, or ≥50% biopsy cores positive. * For those with NCCN unfavorable intermediate risk disease, it is permitted for ADT to have been initiated prior to study enrollment provided it is possible for radiotherapy to be completed before completion of 6 months of ADT. * Prostate volume \<100cc based on imaging or digital rectal examination. * PSA within 90 days prior to registration. If ADT is started before registration, then the PSA must have been done no more than 90 day prior to the date of the first ADT injection. * CT abdomen and pelvis within the 6 months prior to registration (may be omitted for NCCN low risk participants). If particpant started on ADT prior to registration, CT should be done before first ADT injection. * Bone scan within the 6 months prior to of registration (may be omitted for NCCN low risk participants). If particpant started on ADT prior to registration, bone scan should be done before first ADT injection. * Must be appropriate for and willing to undergo implantation of prostate fiducial markers and Space OAR Hydrogel. Exclusion Criteria: Clinical stage cT3 or greater. Gleason score 8 or greater. PSA \> 20ng/mL or greater. NCCN high or very high risk. Pelvic nodal metastases. Distant metastases. Previous malignancy within the last 5 years except basal or squamous cell carcinomas of the skin. Previous pelvic radiotherapy. Any prior active local treatment for prostate cancer. Participants previously on active surveillance are eligible if they continue to meet all other eligibility criteria. Unilateral or Bilateral hip prostheses. Medical conditions likely to make radiotherapy inadvisable (e.g., inflammatory bowel disease). Medical condition that would make implantation of fiducial markers or hydrogel rectal spacer unsafe, in the opinion of the treating physician (e.g., pelvic or prostate abscess). Medical condition or implant that prohibits MRI (e.g. pacemaker) Trans-urethral resection of the prostate (TURP), GreenLight Laser or Holmium Laser Prostate procedure within 6 months of radiotherapy.
