Establishing evidence-based indications for proton therapy: An overview of current clinical trials

There has been a public mandate for the development of evidenced-based guidelines to define appropriate use of proton beam therapy. The current study provides an overview of active proton therapy clinical trials. Although the majority of ongoing studies are interventional, the majority of patients will be accrued to observational studies. There are multiple ongoing randomized studies, but future efforts should focus on strategies to encourage optimal patient enrollment and retention.
