New radiation technique aims to cut prostate cancer treatment side effects
NCT ID NCT06995053
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a new way to deliver radiation for prostate cancer that hasn't spread. By using real-time motion tracking during treatment, doctors hope to target the tumor more precisely and reduce common side effects like urinary and bowel problems. About 80 men with early-stage prostate cancer will take part. The goal is to see if this approach is safer and just as effective as standard radiation.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Histologically confirmed, clinically localized adenocarcinoma of the prostate * No evidence of metastatic disease in lymph nodes above the bifurcation of the renal arteries, or in bones or visceral organs (nodal disease identified on a prostate-specific membrane antigen \[PSMA\] positron emission tomography \[PET\]/CT scan below the bifurcation of the renal arteries are amenable) * Staging workup as recommended by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) on the basis of risk grouping * Advanced imaging studies (i.e. PSMA PET/CT and fluciclovine PET/CT scan) can supplant a bone scan if performed first * Age ≥ 18 * Written informed consent obtained from participant or participant's legal representative and ability for participant to comply with the requirements of the study Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with neuroendocrine or small cell carcinoma of the prostate * Patients with any evidence of distant metastases except that evidence of lymphadenopathy below the level of the renal arteries can be deemed locoregional per the discretion of the investigator * Prior whole gland cryosurgery, high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) or brachytherapy of the prostate * Prior pelvic radiotherapy * History of Crohn's Disease, ulcerative colitis, or ataxia telangiectasia * Presence of a condition or abnormality that in the opinion of the investigator would compromise the safety of the participant or the quality of the data
