NCT ID NCT04465500

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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 phase 2 trial tests a combination of hormone therapy, external beam radiation, and MRI-guided internal radiation implants for men with unfavorable-intermediate to very high-risk prostate cancer. The goal is to see if this precise approach causes fewer urinary side effects than standard treatments. Sixty participants will be followed for outcomes like cancer control, quality of life, and survival.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Combination of external beam radiation therapy (EBRT), MRI-guided high dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy, and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT)
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could offer a more precise radiation treatment for high-risk prostate cancer with fewer severe side effects.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center phase 2 trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The combination therapy also carries risks of urinary, bowel, and sexual 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: 1. Provision of signed and dated informed consent form. 2. Stated willingness to comply with all study procedures and availability for the duration of the study. 3. Male, aged 18 or above. 4. Histologic proven diagnosis of cancer of the prostate up to one year before registration. 5. Unfavorable-intermediate risk, high risk, or very high-risk prostate cancer as determined by the NCCN Guidelines Version 4.2019 (Section 12.4). 6. History and physical exam completed up to 6 months before registration. 7. PSA value \< 50 ng/mL prior to androgen deprivation therapy and up to 12 months before registration. Subjects who do not meet this criteria's timeframe due to extenuating circumstances (i.e. COVID-19 quarantine, changes to their treatment plan, etc) but meet all other eligibility criteria may still be eligible. The PI will review each case and decide 8. ECOG performance status 0 or 1. 9. Pelvic MRI obtained up to 12 months before registration. 10. Candidate for receiving the combination of HDR brachytherapy and EBRT, with or without ADT. The ADT may have begun prior to study enrollment. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Evidence of bone metastases. 2. Diagnosis of a prior invasive malignancy (except for non-melanoma skin cancer), unless the participant has been disease-free for at least 3 years. 3. Patient has had previous radical surgery (prostatectomy) or cryosurgery for prostate cancer. 4. Patient has had previous pelvic irradiation, prostate brachytherapy, or bilateral orchiectomy. 5. Patient has had prior radiotherapy, including brachytherapy, to the region of this study cancer that would result in overlap of radiation therapy fields. 6. Patient has had previous or concurrent cytotoxic chemotherapy for prostate cancer (prior chemotherapy for different cancer is allowed). 7. Patient has MRI incompatible metallic implant(s) that cannot be removed. 8. The patient has severe or active co-morbidities as defined by the following: * Unstable angina and/or congestive heart failure requiring hospitalization up to 6 months (180 days) before registration * Transmural myocardial infarction up to 6 months (180 days) before registration * Acute bacterial or fungal infection requiring intravenous antibiotics at the time of registration * Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation or other respiratory illness requiring hospitalization or precluding study therapy at the time of registration * Hepatic insufficiency resulting in clinical jaundice and/or coagulation effects or severe liver dysfunction. * Acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) based upon current CDC definition. The need to exclude patients with AIDS from this protocol is necessary because the treatments involved in this protocol may be slightly immunosuppressive. Protocol- specific requirements may also exclude immuno-compromised patients.
