Daily adaptive radiotherapy for prostate cancer patients after surgery
Official title: Daily Adaptive RadioTherapy in Postoperative HypofrActionated Salvage radiothERapy for Prostate Cancer Patients
Run by IRCCS Sacro Cuore Don Calabria di Negrar · NCT05884632 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new daily radiation treatment for men with prostate cancer that comes back after surgery to see if it causes less side effects.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are men aged 18 to 80 with a diagnosis of prostate cancer who have undergone radical prostatectomy and are experiencing biochemical recurrence.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with distant metastases, those under 18 years old, or those who have received prior radiation in the same area will not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This pilot study evaluates the treatment-related toxicity of a daily-adaptive hypofractionated postoperative salvage radiotherapy in patients with biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer. Participants will receive a total dose of 59 Gy in 20 fractions, with the treatment tailored daily based on individual patient responses. The study is monoinstitutional and will compare outcomes with existing literature rather than using a control group.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to reduced toxicity and improved outcomes for prostate cancer patients undergoing salvage radiotherapy.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is innovative, similar studies have shown promising results with adaptive radiotherapy techniques in other cancer types.
