Daily adaptive radiation therapy for prostate cancer
Official title: Daily Adaptive Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Prostate Cancer With Urethral Sparing: A Prospective Trial Using an Individualized Approach to Reduce Urinary Toxicity
Run by Varian, a Siemens Healthineers Company · NCT05804318 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new daily radiation treatment for men with low to intermediate risk prostate cancer to see if it can reduce urinary side effects while still effectively targeting the cancer.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include men aged 18 and older with biopsy-proven NCCN low or intermediate risk prostate cancer and specific eligibility criteria regarding prostate volume and urinary function.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with high-grade gastrointestinal or genitourinary toxicity, prior pelvic radiotherapy, or node-positive prostate cancer may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of daily adaptive stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) with a focus on sparing the urethra in patients with low to intermediate risk localized prostate cancer. It aims to reduce the incidence of acute urinary side effects as reported by patients using the EPIC-26 questionnaire. The study is designed as a prospective, single-arm, multi-center trial, meaning it will involve multiple locations and will assess outcomes based on patient feedback. Participants will receive individualized treatment plans tailored to their specific prostate cancer characteristics.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly reduce urinary side effects for patients undergoing radiation therapy for prostate cancer.
How similar studies have gone: While adaptive radiation therapy is an evolving field, this specific approach focusing on urethral sparing in prostate cancer is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
