NCT06787053
Approximately 50% of cancer patients with solid tumours will be treated with radiotherapy. A significant proportion (\>25%) of patients have hypoxic tumours which respond poorly to radiotherapy. Hypoxic tumours have a poor prognosis. This can be improved with treatment intensification. Treatment intensification can be modification with CON (breathing O2-enriched air + oral administration of nicotinamide), chemoradiosensitisation, radiation dose-escalation or additional systemic treatments, significantly improving response of the tumours to radiotherapy. However, there are currently no clinically approved biomarkers to identify hypoxic tumours. Our group has developed and validated gene-expression signature-based biomarkers that identify patients with hypoxic bladder, head and neck , prostate, sarcoma and lung cancers. The bladder cancer gene-expression hypoxia signature has been shown to predict benefit from hypoxia modification using RNA from archived tumour tissue. The main purpose of this study is to demonstrate in at least two cancer types that the hypoxia biomarker predicts benefit from hypoxia modification in real-time.
NCT07580196
BALANCE is a multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled trial enrolling men with unilateral high-risk localized prostate cancer identified by prostate biopsy, multiparametric MRI, and PSMA PET imaging. Eligible patients scheduled for robot-assisted radical prostatectomy will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to undergo either unilateral extended pelvic lymph node dissection or bilateral extended pelvic lymph node dissection. Pelvic lymph node dissection is commonly performed in high-risk prostate cancer for staging purposes, but its therapeutic benefit remains uncertain and the procedure may increase operative time, costs, and postoperative morbidity. Modern imaging techniques may improve the identification of patients with predominantly unilateral disease and support a more selective surgical approach. The co-primary objectives are to compare 3-year biochemical recurrence-free survival and early postoperative PSA persistence between the two surgical strategies. Secondary objectives include comparison of perioperative complications, operative time, blood loss, length of hospital stay, quality of life, long-term oncologic outcomes, and costs. This study is designed to determine whether unilateral extended pelvic lymph node dissection can reduce surgical morbidity while preserving oncologic outcomes in appropriately selected patients with high-risk prostate cancer.
