Comparing two radiation planning methods for prostate cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests two ways to plan radiation treatment for prostate cancer: one using a computer program (RapidPlan) and the other using human experts. The goal is to see if the computer-assisted method works as well or better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have prostate cancer that has been confirmed by a biopsy
- Your cancer stage is T1c to T3b (cancer is in the prostate or nearby tissues) and may have spread to lymph nodes or other parts of the body (N0-1, M0-1)
- You are scheduled to receive radiation to the prostate or where the prostate was removed
- You are able to start radiation within 6 months of joining the study
- You do not have severe bowel disease, a hip replacement, penile implant, or need a urinary catheter

This trial compares two types of radiation therapy for prostate cancer that has come back or spread to a few places after surgery. The goal is to see which radiation schedule works better with fewer side effects.
This study compares two ways of giving radiation to the prostate, including a “boost” using a special internal radiation treatment. It’s meant to see which radiation schedule works better and is safer for certain prostate cancer patients.
This early-phase study tests a prostate radiation approach given in two treatments, planned using MRI. It’s designed for men with lower-to-intermediate risk prostate cancer and aims to see if this method is safe and works well.
This study tests how well new computer methods (called algorithms and machine learning) can support radiation therapy decisions. You might benefit by helping improve how radiation is planned and checked, especially for cancers treated with curative-intent therapy.
This trial compares two ways of giving radiation to the prostate and pelvic lymph nodes. It also tests two different instructions for how full your bladder should be during treatment. The goal is to see which approach works better and is easier for patients.
This trial is comparing two different MRI-guided radiation treatment plans to see which one better improves sexual quality of life in prostate cancer. It may help people decide between shorter or more treatment-session radiation approaches.
