Fewer radiation sessions may mean fewer side effects for prostate cancer patients
NCT ID NCT04984343
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at men with low or intermediate-risk prostate cancer to see if 2 MRI-guided radiation treatments cause fewer bowel and bladder side effects than 5 treatments. The goal was to find a shorter treatment plan that is just as safe and less bothersome. The study was stopped early, but the results may help guide future care.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Men aged \>=18 with histologically confirmed low or intermediate risk prostate cancer per NCCN guidelines. * ECOG 0 - 1 * IPSS \< 18 * Ability to receive MRI-guided radiotherapy. * Ability to complete the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC) questionnaire. * Patients with a prior or concurrent disease whose natural history or treatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen are eligible for this trial. Note: Any patient with a cancer (other than keratinocyte carcinoma or carcinoma in situ or low-grade non-muscle invasive bladder cancer) who has been disease-free for less than 3 years must contact the Principal Investigator. Exclusion Criteria: * Prior history of receiving pelvic radiotherapy. * Patient with history of inflammatory bowel disease. * MRI Prostate Volume \> 80 cc * MRI Stage \> T3a * Unilateral or bilateral hip replacements. * History of bladder neck or urethral stricture. * TURP \< 8 weeks prior to radiotherapy * Metastatic (pelvic nodal or distant) disease on CT, Bone, Fluciclovine, and/or PSMA PET scan
