NCT ID NCT05746806

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 trial is testing a new way to treat prostate cancer that returns after the prostate has been removed. It combines a very short course of highly targeted radiation (just 5 sessions) with 6 months of hormone therapy. The goal is to see if this approach can control the cancer with fewer side effects than standard treatments. The study involves 36 men whose cancer has come back only in the prostate bed, as shown by advanced imaging.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
ultrahypofractionated salvage radiotherapy (targeted radiation in 5 sessions) plus short-term androgen deprivation therapy (hormone therapy for 6 months)
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could offer a more precise, shorter treatment option for men whose prostate cancer returns after surgery, potentially delaying further progression.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 36 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Side effects from radiation and hormone therapy, such as fatigue or urinary issues, are possible.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

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

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Written informed consent according to ICH/GCP (International Council for Harmonisation/Good Clinical Practice) regulations before registration and prior to any trial specific procedures 2. Age ≥ 18 years at time of registration 3. WHO performance status 0-1 4. Lymph node negative adenocarcinoma of the prostate treated with radical prostatectomy (RP) at least 6 months before trial.Tumor stage pT2a-3b, R0-1, pN0 or cN0. according to the Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) TNM 2009. 5. Evidence of measurable local recurrence at the prostate bed detected by PSMA PET/CT and mpMRI within the last 3 months. In case of unclear local recurrence, a biopsy confirmation is recommended. 6. Patient must have non-metastatic (N0, M0) disease, as defined by a lack of nodal or distant metastases seen on PSMA PET/CT scan 7. Patients must have non-castrate levels of serum testosterone (≥50 ng/dL). 8. Patients must not have previously received hormonal therapy (LHRH agonists, antiandrogen, or both, or bilateral orchiectomy). 9. Absence of any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule; those conditions should be discussed with the patient before registration in the trial Exclusion Criteria: 1. Persistent PSA (\> 0.4 ng/mL) 4 to 20 weeks after RP 2. Previous hematologic or primary solid malignancy within 3 years prior registration with the exception of curatively treated localized non-melanoma skin cancer 3. Usage of products known to affect PSA levels within 4 weeks prior to start of trial treatment phase including any form of androgen suppression agents and androgen deprivation therapy 4. Bilateral hip prosthesis 5. Severe or active co-morbidity likely to impact on the advisability of SRT 6. Treatment with any experimental drug or participation within a clinical trial within 30 days prior to registration (exception: concurrent participation in the biobank studies is allowed)
