NCT ID NCT02307058

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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 study tests whether giving an extra-high dose of radiation to the most aggressive parts of prostate tumors, guided by MRI, can better control cancer while reducing side effects. About 164 men with prostate cancer will receive either the standard radiation or the standard plus a targeted boost. The goal is to improve tumor response and preserve quality of life by protecting nearby organs.

Study facts

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 164 people

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

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.

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

Eligibility Criteria: * A. Biopsy confirmed adenocarcinoma (including ductal) of the prostate. * B. T1-T3 disease based on digital rectal exam. * C. No evidence of metastasis by any clinical criteria or available radiographic tests (N0M0 by clinical or imaging criteria). * D. Gleason score 6-10. * E. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is at the discretion of the treating physician; but, must be decided (none, short-term or long-term as counted from the luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist or antagonist injection) prior to enrollment. An anti-androgen (e.g., bicalutamide at 50 mg per day po) is recommended to start prior to LHRH agonist injection (not recommended for LHRH antagonist injection) and is recommended to not be administered for more than 4 months. If ADT is planned, the following restrictions apply: * i. It may be initiated no more than 3 months prior to the signing of consent * ii. It must be started prior to the start of radiotherapy and * iii. The total length planned must be ≤ 30 months * F. Prostate-specific Antigen (PSA) ≤ 100 ng/mL within (+/-) 4 months of signing of consent. If PSA was above 100 and drops to ≤ 100 with antibiotics, this is acceptable for enrollment. * G. Subjects with T3 disease based on digital rectal exam (DRE), Gleason 8-10 or a PSA of \>15 ng/ml, should have a bone scan within (+/-) 4 months of signing of consent that is without evidence of metastasis. A questionable bone scan is acceptable if additional imaging studies (e.g., plain x-rays, CT, or MRI) do not confirm for metastasis. * H. Suspicious peripheral zone or central gland lesion on MP-MRI * i. Peripheral zone: Distinct lesion on dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) with early enhancement and later washout (Note: contrast not required for enrollment), and/or distinct lesion on the ADC map (Value \<1000). * ii. Central gland: A suspicious central gland lesion on MP-MRI must have a distinct lesion on the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) map (Value \<1000) * I. No previous pelvic radiotherapy. * J. No previous history of radical/total prostatectomy (suprapubic prostatectomy is acceptable). * K. No concurrent, active malignancy, other than nonmetastatic skin cancer or early stage chronic lymphocytic leukemia (well-differentiated small cell lymphocytic lymphoma). If a prior malignancy is in remission for ≥ 5 years then the patient is eligible. * L. Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document. * M. Zubrod performance status ≤ 2. (Karnofsky or Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status may be used to estimate Zubrod). * N. Willingness to fill out quality of life/psychosocial forms. * O. Age ≥ 35 and ≤ 85 years at signing of consent.
