About this study

Official title: Feasibility Trial of Individualized Daily Dose Adaptation for Localized Prostate Cancer by Online MR-guided SBRT

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a technical feasibility of MR-guided SBRT fraction dose adaptation for low-risk, intermediate-risk and low-volume metastatic prostate cancer. .

Read the detailed description

Hypofractionated SBRT to 36.25 Gy in 5 fractions (fraction dose 7.25 Gy) for low- and intermediate risk prostate cancer is standard of care. Using higher fraction doses that might be beneficial for disease control is not safe in all patients, unless adaptive treatment is performed. In this clinical trial the feasibility of online MR-guided SBRT fraction dose adaptation (between 7 and 8 Gy) for prostate cancer will be investigated. A fraction dose to the planning target volume (PTV) will be adapted to organs-at-risk (OAR) geometry (position, shape and volume) on online planning MRI scans of the treatment day ("geometry-of-the-day"). Thus the investigators hope to maximize treatment individualization.

Receives: Radiation: Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Feasibility of online MR-guided SBRT: Number of fractions

    Number of fractions when a new online plan on the new patient geometry was successfully generated and applied according to the dosimetric protocol requirements

    Measured: At the treatment end (treatment duration 2 weeks)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Rates of adverse events

    Adverse and severe adverse events measured with Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) (version 5.0)

    Measured: weekly during treatment and up to 3 months after the treatment end

  2. Quantifying intrafraction motion of the prostate (in mm) and organs-at-risk (in mm)

    Changes in the organ motion (in mm) during a treatment session

    Measured: During each treatment session (treatment duration of 2 weeks)

  3. Quantifying interfraction motion of the prostate (in mm) and organs-at-risk (in mm)

    Changes in the organ (the prostate and organs-at-risk [in mm]) motion between treatment sessions

    Measured: Before each treatment session (treatment duration of 2 weeks)

  4. Quality of the adapted treatment plan vs. the initial treatment plan

    Comparison of radiation doses delivered to the targets and organs-at-risk with the adapted treatment plan vs. the initial treatment plan

    Measured: At the treatment end (treatment duration 2 weeks)

  5. Duration of an online adaptive procedure

    Time needed for adapting a treatment plan

    Measured: Before each treatment session (treatment duration 2 weeks)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) in people with Prostate Cancer, run by University of Zurich.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Nocolaus Andratschke, MD (+41 44 255 31 50, nicolaus.andratschke@usz.ch), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Feasibility of online MR-guided SBRT: Number of fractions (time frame: At the treatment end (treatment duration 2 weeks)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 May 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
