PIVOTAL
A randomised phase II trial of Prostate and pelvIc Versus prOstaTe ALone radiotherapy treatment volumes using high dose IMRT for locally advanced prostate cancer.
Disease site: Urological Prostate cancer
Treatment modality: Radiotherapy
Status: In active follow-up
Trial details
PIVOTAL is a phase II trial randomising between prostate and prostate + pelvic Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) in patients with locally advanced prostate cancer.
The primary objective is to evaluate the acute side effects of prostate + pelvic IMRT in a multi-centre setting. Should the level of side effects fall within a predefined acceptable range, the intention is to progress to a phase III trial investigating treatment efficacy.
