Smart radiation: daily adjustments may spare prostate cancer patients from side effects
NCT ID NCT07276438
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This trial tests whether using daily MRI or CT scans to adjust radiation plans in real time can lower side effects for men with localized prostate cancer. 186 participants will receive standard stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) either with or without daily plan adaptation. The main goal is to see if fewer men experience urinary problems within 90 days of treatment.
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 daily image-guided adaptation
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could reduce urinary and bowel side effects from radiation therapy for prostate cancer, making treatment safer and more comfortable.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage trial focused on side effects, not cure rates. The daily adaptation process is complex and may not significantly improve outcomes for all patients.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥ 18 * Histologically confirmed, clinically localized adenocarcinoma of the prostate * Staging workup as recommended by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) on the basis of risk grouping * Advanced imaging studies (i.e. prostate-specific membrane antigen \[PSMA\] positron emission tomography \[PET\]/CT and fluciclovine PET/CT scan) can supplant a bone scan if performed first * No evidence of metastatic disease in lymph nodes above the bifurcation of the renal arteries, or in bones or visceral organs (nodal disease identified on a PSMA PET/CT scan below the bifurcation of the renal arteries are amenable) * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2 * No indication for urgent or emergent radiation * Written informed consent obtained from participant or participant's legal representative and ability for participant to comply with the requirements of the study Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with neuroendocrine or small cell carcinoma of the prostate * Patients with any evidence of distant metastases except that evidence of lymphadenopathy below the level of the renal arteries can be deemed locoregional per the discretion of the investigator * Prior cryosurgery, high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), brachytherapy, or other ablative treatments of the whole prostate * Prior pelvic radiotherapy * History of Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or ataxia telangiectasia * Presence of a condition or abnormality that in the opinion of the Investigator would compromise the safety of the participant or the quality of the data
