Proton Boost in Prostate Cancer
NCT03564275 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This study uses photon radiation with a proton boost to treat prostate cancer. The purpose of this study is to determine if proton therapy as a boost following photon intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) produces decreased toxicity as compared to conventional photon IMRT alone in the treatment of prostate cancer. Our secondary objective is to determine the effectiveness of this treatment regimen. Effectiveness will be determined by length of time to progression or recurrence of disease and overall survival. Patients on this study will be treated with a course of photon radiation therapy followed by a boost course of proton radiation.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT03564275
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT03564275 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 10 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Cincinnati, which has 179 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Cancer of the Prostate appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Proton Boost is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT03564275 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Ohio. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
