About this study
Official title: Randomized Phase II Study Evaluating Late Toxicity Following Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy and Two Image-Guided Strategies With Corresponding Treatment Margins. (RCMIGI)
The Calypso® System (Varian Medical Systems, Inc., Palo Alto, CA) is a recent technology using electromagnetic transponders implanted within the prostate. It is a real-time target tracking system that takes into account both inter- and intrafractional target motion. So the exact position and movement of the prostate can be determined during radiation therapy treatment.
The aim of this study is to assess pelvic late toxicity rate after intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) when using the Calypso® System with a reduction of treatment margins. In this randomized study, patients will receive IGRT treatment using the Calypso system or a conventional IGRT treatment.
Read the detailed description
Prostate cancer is the most frequent cancer in men. Radiotherapy is one of the reference treatments for localized prostate cancer. Prostate was initially thought to be a non-moving target, but the newest reports have raised the contrary as evidence. Image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) is a current standard treatment for localized prostate cancer which enables to take into account interfractional prostate motion before treatment.

It is a real-time target tracking system that takes into account both inter- and intrafractional target motion. So the exact position and movement of the prostate can be determined during radiation therapy treatment.
As Planned Target Volume (PTV) margins integrate set-up margins and the management of organ motion, margin reduction can reasonably be considered in case of target motion management improvement.
To date, no prospective randomized clinical data is available using this technique for the treatment of low- or intermediate-risk prostate cancer patients with modern standard fractionation radiotherapy and image guidance.

What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Feb 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Assessment of Grade > 2 Late Pelvic Toxicities (time frame: between 3 months and 2 years after radiation period). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03254420, which also lists 43 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Jun 2026.
