Oligometastatic Cancer

This single-arm phase 2 trial investigates whether a single high-dose radiotherapy treatment can safely treat men whose prostate cancer has come back in a small number of lymph nodes in the pelvis or abdomen after curative treatment. Participants receive one fraction of 24 Gy delivered with MR-guided stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), which uses MRI to visualise the tumour and surrounding organs during treatment. The main goal is to assess safety (severe side effects). The trial also evaluates local tumour control, longer-term side effects, time until hormone (androgen deprivation) therapy is needed, survival, and quality of life. The trial aims to enrol 48 patients.

This prospective observational study investigates the clinical utility of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in patients with oligometastatic disease (OMD) undergoing definitive-intent local ablative treatment (LAT). The study aims to evaluate ctDNA as a prognostic and response biomarker before, during, and after LAT across cancer types and treatment modalities. Serial plasma samples and archival tumor tissue will be analyzed to assess ctDNA detection rates, elimination patterns, minimal residual disease, and association with recurrence, progression, and survival outcomes.
