Adaptive radiotherapy boost for prostate and bladder cancer
Official title: Prospective Study of siMultaneous Adaptive RadioTherapy for Local Boost for Prostate and Bladder Cancers (SMART-B01)
Run by Cancer Institute and Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences · NCT07324798 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial tests whether an adaptive radiation boost delivered with a 1.5‑Tesla MR‑Linac helps people with post‑prostatectomy prostate cancer relapse and those receiving bladder‑conserving treatment.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults with post‑prostatectomy local prostate cancer relapse or bladder cancer planned for bladder‑conserving radiotherapy who are MRI‑compatible, have ECOG 0–2, and have not received prior radiotherapy to the treatment field.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with MRI contraindications, prior radiotherapy to the same field, poor performance status, or disease not suitable for local radiotherapy are unlikely to benefit.

What this trial studies
This interventional protocol delivers an adaptive radiation boost using a 1.5‑T MR‑Linac to patients with post‑prostatectomy local relapse of prostate cancer or bladder cancer treated with bladder‑conserving radiotherapy. Treatment planning is adjusted using on‑board MRI, with patients attending the clinic about once every two weeks during radiotherapy and returning for follow‑up every three months after adaptive radiotherapy. The study will collect safety and toxicity data, clinical efficacy outcomes, and regular quality‑of‑life questionnaires to determine whether the adaptive boost lowers side effects while maintaining or improving tumor control. Key eligibility includes adults with confirmed urological tumors, ECOG 0–2, no prior radiotherapy in the current field, and no contraindications to MRI or radiotherapy.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could reduce radiation‑related side effects while keeping or improving tumor control for selected prostate and bladder cancer patients.
How similar studies have gone: MR‑guided adaptive radiotherapy has shown promising early results in improving targeting and reducing toxicity in other tumor types, but adaptive boost specifically for post‑prostatectomy relapse and bladder‑conserving therapy is still relatively novel.
