New registry aims to make repeat radiation safer for cancer patients
NCT ID NCT07528339
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will collect data from 500 Danish cancer patients who need repeat radiation therapy (reirradiation). Researchers will track side effects, tumor control, and survival to build a database that can guide safer treatment in the future. The goal is to help doctors decide when and how to safely give radiation again to patients whose cancer has returned.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- reirradiation (radiation therapy)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this registry could help doctors better understand how to safely deliver repeat radiation to cancer patients, potentially expanding treatment options.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational registry, not a treatment trial. It will not directly test a new therapy, and results may take years to influence practice.

Inclusion Criteria: * High dose reirradiation (reirradiation type I or II or repeat organ irradiation delivered with the aim of local control) Read Danish (for questionnaires + patient information) Life expectancy due to age and co-morbidity of ≥6 months. The general condition must be sufficient to tolerate persistent significant side effects Histological or imaging verified loco-regional recurrence, solitary oligo metastasis or new primary Age ≥18 years Signed informed consent, updated annually Expected follow up physical, by video, by phone or likely contact at a relevant oncological department Available dose plan(s) from primary (and prior) radiotherapy course(s) (with 3D reconstruction of previous plans, available port film, or drawings). Multiple re-treatments are allowed (new inclusion and baseline registration) Exclusion Criteria: * The primary and reirradiation treatments may not be quasi-simultaneous (i.e. the two treatments should be planned independently) Inability to attend full course of radiotherapy Purpose of radiotherapy is ONLY palliation of symptoms
