What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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

Summary

This phase II trial is testing whether using a special PET/MR scan (PSMA) to guide radiation therapy can improve outcomes for men with high-risk prostate cancer. Fifty participants will receive targeted radiation boosts to areas identified by the scan. The main goal is to see if this approach increases the number of men who remain cancer-free two years after treatment.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Gallium-68 labeled PSMA-HBED-CC (a radioactive tracer for imaging)
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could offer a more precise radiation treatment for high-risk prostate cancer, potentially reducing recurrence rates.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 50 participants. It may not show a significant benefit over standard treatments, and there are risks from radiation exposure.

Inclusion Criteria: * Male aged 21 years or older. * Ability to provide signed informed consent and willingness to comply with protocol requirements. * Pathologic confirmation of high-risk adenocarcinoma of the prostate gland as follows: a. Gleason 8-10 or tertiary component 5 disease and/or b. PSA of 20 ng/ml or greater and/or c. Tumor stage of T2c or greater; OR Unfavorable intermediate risk (Gleason 4+3=7, \>50% of cores involved, or 2 or more intermediate risk factors which include Gleason 7 disease, PSA 10-20, or T2b disease) * Participants must agree to use an acceptable form of birth control and utilize condoms for a period of seven days after each PSMA injection, if engaged in sexual activity. * No evidence of metastatic disease, including pelvic lymph nodes. Exclusion Criteria: * Clinical and/or technical factors that would compromise statistical analysis of the PET and/or MR. * Contraindications to PSMA IV administration * Contraindications to prostate SBRT (history of transurethral resection of prostate; prostate size greater than 150 cc; AUA score greater than 20; history of prior radiation to the prostate) * Other unspecified reasons that, in the opinion of investigators, make the subject unsuitable for enrollment * Patients on or intending to take abiraterone will be excluded
