MR‑guided short-course high-dose radiation for prostate cancer (SMART‑P01 & P02)
Official title: Phase II Prospective Trial of MR-linac Based Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy for Patients With Localized (SAMRT-P01) and Oligo-metastatic (SMART-P02) Prostate Cancer
Run by Cancer Institute and Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences · NCT05183074 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial tests MR‑guided, very short-course high‑dose radiation for men with localized or limited metastatic prostate cancer to see if it is tolerable and effective.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Men aged 18 or older with histologically confirmed localized prostate cancer (including selected low-, intermediate-, and some high‑risk cases) or prostate in‑situ with limited oligometastatic disease, who have ECOG 0–2, prostate volume ≤100 cc, IPSS <18, and can undergo MRI and provide informed consent.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with contraindications to MRI, recent TURP within 6 months, active ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease, ataxia telangiectasia, systemic lupus erythematosus, very poor performance status, or otherwise ineligible per protocol are unlikely to benefit from this protocol.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
Participants receive MR‑linac guided stereotactic ablative radiotherapy delivered in a small number of high‑dose sessions with adaptive planning on the machine before or during treatment. The protocol may include a simultaneous higher‑dose boost to MRI‑visible tumor foci when feasible. Investigators will record acute and late side effects, cancer control outcomes, and patient quality of life, and will collect blood and tissue samples alongside mp‑MRI before and after treatment. Correlations between imaging changes and biomarker dynamics will be explored to identify predictors of persistent or recurrent disease.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could shorten treatment to a few high‑dose visits while maintaining cancer control and potentially reducing some side effects compared with longer courses of radiation.
How similar studies have gone: Other centers have reported promising early tolerance and disease control with MR‑guided SBRT for prostate cancer, but the combination of MR‑guided simultaneous boosts and integrated biomarker–mpMRI correlation is relatively novel.
