RAIDER

A randomised phase II trial of adaptive image guided standard or dose escalated tumour boost radiotherapy in the treatment of transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder.

Disease sites: Bladder cancerurological cancers

Treatment modality: Radiotherapy

Status: In follow-up

Trial details

RAIDER is a phase II, international, parallel cohort, three arm, two stage randomised trial of adaptive tumour focused radiotherapy for bladder cancer. Stage I will investigate the feasibility of dose escalated tumour boost radiotherapy delivery at multiple centres and Stage II will assess long term side effects of this treatment. 

At least 240 participants with muscle invasive bladder cancer will be randomised to one of three treatment groups: standard radiotherapy, standard dose tumour focused adaptive radiotherapy and dose escalated tumour boost adaptive radiotherapy. Participants will have daily radiotherapy for 4 or 6 weeks (depending on standard regimen in use at their hospital) and will be followed up after treatment for a minimum of 5 years.
