Can we safely zap more cancer spots? new study pushes radiation limits
NCT ID NCT06978296
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is for people with advanced prostate cancer that has spread to bones or lymph nodes and is no longer responding to standard treatments. Researchers want to find the largest total volume of cancer spots that can be safely treated with a precise type of radiation called stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT). The goal is to see if treating more cancer at once can delay pain and complications without causing severe side effects. About 18 participants will receive gradually increasing volumes of radiation to determine the safest limit.

Inclusion Criteria: * Metastatic prostate cancer with clinical progression after the use of androgen-receptor pathway inhibitor, chemotherapy or any other life-prolonging therapy. Patient could have been treated previously by RadioLigand Therapy (RLT). * Performance Status \< 3 * Bone and/or lymph node metastases based on conventional (CT and bone scan) or metabolic imaging * Bone and/or lymph node metastases suitable for SRT, according to the investigator * Adequate organ function: 1. Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) ≥ 1000/mm3 or 2. Platelet Count ≥ 50 000/mm3 or 3. Haemoglobin ≥ 8 g/dL (allowing transfusion or other intervention to achieve this minimum haemoglobin) * Age ≥ 18 years at time of study entry * Written informed consent obtained from the patient prior to performing any protocol-related * Patient is willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study including undergoing treatment and scheduled visits and examinations including follow up. * Patient has valid health insurance * Life time expected \> 3 months Exclusion Criteria: * Evidence of symptomatic metastases to the lungs, brain, peritoneum or liver * Evidence of diffuse metastatic spread to the bone marrow (e.g. positive super bone scan) or the cerebral spinal fluid as per bone scan (no lumbar puncture required). * Evidence of presence of symptomatic spinal cord compression with indication of neurosurgical decompression. * Patient with symptomatic and/or high-risk tumor volume-to-bone marrow reserve ratio \> 50% * Concurrent enrolment in another clinical study, unless it is a non-therapeutic clinical study * Mental impairment (psychiatric illness/social situations) that may compromise the ability of the patient to give informed consent and comply with the requirements of the study; * Patient who has forfeited his/her freedom by administrative or legal award or who is under guardianship; * Patients unable to undergo medical follow-up in the study for geographical, social or psychological reasons. * History of another primary malignancy except for 1. Malignancy treated with curative intent and with no known active disease ≥2 years before the first dose of SRT and of low potential risk for recurrence 2. Adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer or lentigo maligna without evidence of disease 3. Adequately treated carcinoma in situ without evidence of disease * Uncontrolled pain that contraindicates patient positioning on the radiotherapy table according to investigator * Patient indicated to or currently treated by cytopenic treatment as chemotherapy or RadioLigand Therapy * Patient under concomitant treatment that may generate severe gastro-intestinal disorder or genito-urinary disorder
