Comparing Moderately Ultra Hypofractionated Radiation Treatments for Prostate Cancer (AMPORA)

March 18, 2026 updated by: University Health Network, Toronto

A Phase II Randomized Trial: ALTERNATE DAY ULTRAHYPOFRACTIONATED OR DAILY MODERATELY HYPOFRACTIONATED POST OPERATIVE RADIOTHERAPY

This is a multi-institution, randomized, non-inferiority Phase II trial comparing external beam radiotherapy delivered as 54 Gy in 20 fractions to prostate bed +/- 44 Gy in 20 fractions to pelvic lymph nodes delivered daily with external beam radiotherapy delivered as 30 Gy in 5 fractions to prostate bed +/- 25 Gy in 5 fractions to pelvic lymph nodes delivered on alternate days.
