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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 trial compares two common radiotherapy schedules for prostate cancer: 70 Gy in 28 sessions versus 60 Gy in 20 sessions. Both are already used in clinics, but it is not clear which one works better or causes fewer side effects. The study involves 400 men with early-stage prostate cancer and will track cancer recurrence over 5 to 10 years.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Radiation therapy (hypofractionated intensity-modulated radiotherapy using helical tomotherapy)
What this could lead to
If this trial succeeds, it could help doctors choose the best radiotherapy schedule for prostate cancer, improving cancer control and reducing side effects.
What could go wrong
This is a phase 2 trial, so results are not definitive. Both schedules are already standard, so the difference may be small, and long-term outcomes are still being tracked.

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
