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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 a method called KIM that tracks the prostate's position during radiation using implanted gold markers. If the prostate moves more than 3mm, the radiation beam stops and is repositioned. The goal is to see if this technique is feasible in 100 men receiving radiation for prostate cancer.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
kV intrafraction monitoring (KIM) with radiation gating
What this could lead to
If successful, this technique could make prostate cancer radiotherapy more precise, reducing damage to healthy tissue.
What could go wrong
This is a small early feasibility study, not designed to prove treatment effectiveness. The technique may not work in all patients or may add time to procedures.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

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

100 people

The number who actually took part.

Started

Jan 2013

Expected to finish

Jun 2028

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.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

Children (under 18), adults (18 to 64) and older adults (65 and over)

Sex

Male participants only

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients undergoing definitive external beam radiotherapy; * Histological proven prostate adenocarcinoma * Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA),within 3 months prior to enrolment * Patient must be able to have gold fiducial markers placed in the prostate (if on anticoagulants, must be approved for procedure by Cardiologist) * Artificial hips * Lymph Node irradiation * Patient Dimensions \>40cms * ECOG 0-2 * Ability to understand and willingness to sign informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: * Altered fractionation * Fiducials must be no less than 1cm apart
