GU013: High Five Trial — Evaluating 5-Fraction SBRT vs. Conventional Radiation for High-Risk Prostate Cancer
Study Overview:
This Phase III trial compares three radiation strategies for men with high-risk prostate adenocarcinoma:
Ultrahypofractionated SBRT (5 sessions)
Moderate hypofractionation
Conventional fractionation
The goal is to determine whether fewer, higher-dose treatments can achieve the same or better cancer control while improving convenience and quality of life.
Key Study Details:
Phase & Design: Phase III, randomized
Population: Men with high-risk localized prostate adenocarcinoma
Treatment Arms: SBRT vs. moderate hypofractionation vs. conventional fractionation
Primary Objective: Compare metastasis-free survival
Why It Matters: Shorter treatment schedules reduce burden, cost, and hospital visits without compromising effectiveness.
