Simple blood test may predict prostate cancer radiation risks
NCT ID NCT07145437
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a blood test, called the RILA assay, can predict which prostate cancer patients will have late side effects from a precise type of radiation therapy (SBRT). About 220 men with low- or intermediate-risk prostate cancer will give a blood sample before treatment and be followed for 5 years. The goal is to personalize treatment and reduce severe side effects.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Radio-induced Lymphocyte Apoptosis (RILA) Assay
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this blood test could help doctors identify which prostate cancer patients are at higher risk for side effects from radiation, allowing for more personalized and safer treatment plans.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage study focused on prediction, not treatment. The test may not accurately predict side effects in all patients, and results may not change outcomes directly.
