NCT ID NCT07153094

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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 new proton therapy device, PROTEUS PLUS, in 47 adults with solid tumors. The goal is to see if it safely controls tumor growth. Participants receive targeted radiation, and researchers track side effects and disease response over time.

Why investors are watching

Ion Beam Applications is running a small trial of its PROTEUS PLUS proton therapy system in Shenzhen, testing safety and efficacy in 47 oncology patients. For a small-cap company, this readout matters because a positive result supports a product registration application, which could open the Chinese market for its device.

If it works: A positive result could help Ion Beam Applications secure regulatory approval to sell PROTEUS PLUS in China, expanding its customer base beyond existing markets. That approval could lead to new hospital sales and recurring service revenue.

If it fails: The trial could fail to show the device is safe and effective, or regulators could delay approval, which would slow the company's entry into China. Trials fail often, and a negative result would leave Ion Beam Applications without a key growth driver.

Started

Aug 2025

Expected to finish

Jul 2031

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

A company

The lead sponsor is a pharmaceutical, biotech, or medical-device company.

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

Inclusion Criteria (main): * Clinically diagnosed with benign/malignant intracranial tumor and malignant solid tumor of head and neck, chest, abdomen, spine, pelvic cavity and limbs * At least 1 lesion of the tumor to be treated is measurable according to RECIST criteria * Expected survival time of more than 6 months * ECOG performance status of 0 to 2 * Negative pregnancy test (HCG) results within 7 days prior to the first treatment for females of childbearing potential Exclusion Criteria (main): * Contraindications to radiation therapy * Presence of other uncontrolled tumors other than the tumor to be treated * Implants and devices in the treatment area * Re-irradiation * Other conditions that are not suitable for inclusion, as judged by the investigator
