New MRI-Guided radiation aims to tame tough prostate cancer
NCT ID NCT07132073
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a combination of two radiation techniques—brachytherapy and SBRT—guided by MRI for men with unfavorable prostate cancer. The goal is to achieve high cancer control rates while keeping serious side effects low. About 40 participants will be enrolled to see if this approach is both effective and convenient.
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 (brachytherapy and SBRT)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a more convenient and precise radiation treatment for aggressive prostate cancer, potentially reducing severe side effects.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Radiation can still cause urinary or rectal side effects.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients with unfavorable intermediate, high and very high risk PCa as per the NCCN stratification criteria . * Suboptimal candidates for high-dose therapy such as elderly, frail patients or patients with large volume glands (i.e, \>60cm3) or extensive TURP in the prior 6-12 months should be considered cautionary indications. * Patients with low risk of nodal spread may be treated on a MRI-guided local SBRT program. Exclusion Criteria: * No prior radiation therapy to the target areas * Patient able to undergo a MRI exam
