New treatment option for Prostate Cancer
Official title Artificial Intelligence to Personalize Prostate Cancer Treatment (the HypoElect Trial)
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06582446
What this study is testing
What is Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) - Goserelin?
Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) - Goserelin is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for prostate cancer.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- A prospective, single-arm phase II study is the individualization of RT for patients with high-risk localized PCa based on multimodal artificial intelligence (MMAI). All patients will receive the current standard of care: (i) a dose escalation to the prostate via HDR brachytherapy, (ii) two years of ADT and (iii) whole-pelvis UHF-RT (5 fractions).
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
- Which group you join is decided by chance.
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.

- Expected patient survival \<5 years
- Bilateral hip prostheses or any other implants/hardware that would introduce substantial CT artifacts
- Contraindication to undergo a MRI scan
- Contraindication to undergo HDR brachytherapy (brachytherapy not feasible due to large prostate volume, prostate anatomy, tumor in distant seminal vesicles and/or unfit for anesthesia)

- Previous malignancy within the last 2 years (except basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin), or if previous malignancy is expected to significantly compromise 5 year survival
- Any other contraindication to external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) to the pelvis
- Participation in any other treatment clinical trial within the last 30 days before the start of this trial
- Simultaneous participation in other treatment trials which could interfere with this trial; simultaneous participation in registry and diagnostic trials is allowed
