MRI-Guided radiation zaps prostate tumors with fewer side effects?
NCT ID NCT05183074
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new type of radiation therapy for prostate cancer that uses an MRI machine to guide the beam in real time. The goal is to deliver high doses of radiation more precisely to the tumor while sparing healthy tissue. The trial will enroll 50 men with localized or limited spread (oligo-metastatic) prostate cancer to see if the treatment is safe and tolerable.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- MR-linac guided stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a more precise and less toxic radiation option for prostate cancer, potentially improving quality of life and tumor control.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase trial (50 participants) focused on safety and feasibility. It may not show clear benefit, and side effects from radiation are still possible.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age≥18 years。 * Histology confirmed prostate cancer. * Risk stratification, localised disease including patients with low-risk(cT1-T2a,PSA \<10ng/mL,Gleason score≤6) who refuse active surveillance, favorable or unfavorable intermediate-risk and selected high-risk(cT2b-T3a or minimally T3b,PSA 10-40ng/mL,Gleason score 7-8) disease. * Oligo-metastatic disease including patients with prostate in-situ and oligometastatic disease (no limit to mets number and organs, with all metastatic foci can be safely treated by radical SBRT dose) * ECOG 0-2 * Postate gland volume ≤100cc * IPSS score of \<18 * Informed consent: All patients must sign a document of informed consent indicating their understanding of the investigational nature and risks of the study before any protocol related studies are performed Exclusion Criteria: * Contraindications to MRI. * TURP within the past 6 months * Ulcerative colitis, Crohn's Disease, ataxia telangiectasia, or systemic lupus erythematosus * Previous pelvic irradiation * Refuse contraception
