Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are men diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer who have achieved a stable PSA response to systemic therapy and have PSMA-PET detected disease suitable for SABR.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with hormone-resistant metastatic prostate cancer who do not meet the eligibility criteria may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This phase II clinical trial investigates the effectiveness of Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiotherapy (SABR) in men with metastatic prostate cancer who have achieved a maximal systemic response to standard therapy. Eighty participants will be randomly selected to receive SABR based on disease detected by PSMA-PET imaging. The primary goal is to evaluate the rate of freedom from progression (FFP) at one year, with patients categorized by hormone sensitivity prior to randomization. The study aims to provide insights into the potential benefits of consolidative radiotherapy in this patient population.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly improve progression-free survival in men with metastatic prostate cancer.
How similar studies have gone: Similar studies using SABR for metastatic prostate cancer have shown promising results, indicating potential for this approach.
