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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 compares two types of radiation therapy for low- or intermediate-risk prostate cancer in Asian men. One method, SBRT, delivers high-dose radiation in fewer sessions, while the other, IMRT, uses more standard daily doses. The main goal is to see which approach better preserves quality of life and controls the cancer.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
radiation therapy (SBRT or IMRT)
What this could lead to
If SBRT works as well as IMRT with fewer side effects, it could become a shorter, more convenient treatment option for prostate cancer.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study with only 68 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. Both treatments carry risks of urinary and bowel side effects.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 68 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

Expected to finish

Dec 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Inclusion Criteria: * Histological confirmation of prostate adenocarcinoma * Low or intermediate risk prostate cancer patients (i.e. T1-T2c and PSA 20 and Gleason score \< 8) with the risk of pelvic node metastasis 15% as calculated by Roach's formula * ECOG performance score 0-1 * Age ≥ 18 * History/physical examination within 2 weeks prior to registration * Able to sign informed-consent Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with previous diagnosis of cancer other than prostate cancer and non-melanoma skin cancer. * Evidence of distant metastases * Regional lymph node involvement * Previous radical surgery (prostatectomy), cryosurgery, or HIFU for prostate cancer * Previous pelvic irradiation, prostate brachytherapy, or bilateral orchiectomy * Previous hormonal therapy, such as LHRH agonists (e.g., goserelin, leuprolide) or LHRHantagonists (e.g., degarelix), anti-androgens (e.g., flutamide, bicalutamide), estrogens (e.g.DES), or surgical castration (orchiectomy) * Unstable angina and/or congestive heart failure requiring hospitalization, transmural myocardial infarction within the last 6 months, acute bacterial or fungal infection requiring intravenous antibiotics, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation or other respiratory illness requiringhospitalization or precluding study therapy at the time of registration * Patients who have received prior chemotherapy.
