New trial aims to halt spread of aggressive prostate cancer with precision radiation
NCT ID NCT07426094
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This clinical trial is for men with prostate cancer that has spread to nearby pelvic lymph nodes but not further. It compares two radiation strategies: one that gives a higher dose to the prostate only, and another that boosts both the prostate and the affected lymph nodes. All participants receive whole-pelvis radiation and hormone therapy. The goal is to see which approach better prevents the cancer from spreading to distant parts of the body.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Ultrahypofractionated whole-pelvis radiotherapy with optional prostate boost (via brachytherapy or SBRT) and nodal boost
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this trial could show the best way to intensify radiotherapy for node-positive prostate cancer, potentially improving metastasis-free survival and guiding future treatment standards.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-to-mid-stage trial (phase II/III) with 1600 participants, and results may not confirm superiority of one approach. Long-term androgen deprivation therapy is required, and side effects from intensified radiation could be significant.

Inclusion Criteria: * Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate. * Prostate cancer with clinically positive pelvic lymph nodes (cN1) without evidence of distant metastatic disease. * Pelvic lymph node involvement limited to regional pelvic lymph nodes (obturator, internal iliac, external iliac, presacral), as assessed by conventional imaging and/or PSMA PET/CT. * No evidence of distant metastatic disease (M0), including absence of non-regional nodal, bone, or visceral metastases. * Candidate for definitive radiotherapy to the prostate and elective pelvic lymph nodes. * Planned treatment with androgen deprivation therapy with or without androgen receptor pathway inhibitors according to protocol. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2. * Adequate organ function allowing delivery of protocol-defined radiotherapy and systemic therapy. * Age ≥18 years. * Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Evidence of distant metastatic disease (M1), including non-regional lymph node, bone, or visceral metastases. * Prior definitive local therapy for prostate cancer, including radical prostatectomy, whole-gland radiotherapy, or brachytherapy. * Prior pelvic radiotherapy for any indication that would overlap planned treatment fields. * Prior systemic therapy for prostate cancer other than protocol-allowed neoadjuvant androgen deprivation therapy. * History of castration-resistant prostate cancer. * Concurrent malignancy requiring active treatment, except non-melanoma skin cancer or other malignancies with negligible risk of interference with study outcomes. * Severe uncontrolled comorbidities that would preclude safe delivery of radiotherapy or systemic therapy. * Any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with patient safety or compliance with the study protocol.
