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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 study tests whether using MRI scans to guide radiation can lower the dose to healthy parts of the prostate while targeting cancer spots. The goal is to reduce bowel-related side effects without losing cancer control. About 60 men with intermediate- or high-risk prostate cancer will receive daily radiation for 4 weeks, plus hormone therapy for 6–24 months.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Radiation therapy
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could reduce bowel side effects from radiation while still controlling prostate cancer, improving quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The lower radiation dose might also be less effective at controlling cancer.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

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.

Participants

About 60 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Expected to finish

Oct 2028

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Male participants only

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult (≥ 18 years old) male patients with an ECOG Performance Status 0-2 * Histologically-confirmed, MRI-visible prostate adenocarcinoma with NCCN intermediate- or high-risk disease1 without extra-pelvic metastasis. Exclusion Criteria: * Distant metastases * Prior active treatment for prostate cancer including radical prostatectomy, high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), cryosurgery, ADT, or cytotoxic chemotherapy for treatment of prostate cancer. Patients with prostate cancer on active surveillance prior to the study are not excluded if they have not received active treatment. * Prior pelvic radiotherapy including brachytherapy. * Additional active concurrent malignancies (except localized cutaneous squamous or basal cell carcinomas). * Comorbid conditions that, in the opinion of the treating radiation oncologist, preclude the patient from safely receiving the protocol-specified treatment including RT and/or ADT. * Patients with contraindications to MRI including patients with ferromagnetic materials in their body (e.g. bioimplants, surgical hardware, shrapnel), patients who are unable to receive contrast due to history of allergy or impaired renal function (glomerular filtration rate \< 30 mil/min), and patients unable to tolerate MRI for other reasons (e.g. significant claustrophobia). * Patients for whom hydrogel or hyaluronic acid spacer will be placed. * Patients incapable of giving informed consent. * Patients who are unable to adhere to the experimental protocols for any reason.
