Radioactive microspheres aimed at prostate cancer: early safety trial underway

NCT ID NCT06192758

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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 early study tests the safety of TheraSphere PCa, tiny radioactive glass beads injected into the prostate to treat localized prostate cancer. The trial involves 36 men with favorable intermediate-risk cancer and aims to find the maximum safe radiation dose. Researchers will monitor side effects and adverse events over 90 days.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Yttrium-90 Glass Microspheres (TheraSphere PCa)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a new, less invasive treatment option for localized prostate cancer using targeted radiation.
What could go wrong
This is an early feasibility study with only 36 participants, focused on safety and dosing. It is too small and early to know if it will be effective or widely applicable.

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 36 people

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