Prostate Carcinoma, Stage I Prostate Cancer AJCC v8, Stage II Prostate Cancer AJCC v8
Conditions
Brief summary
This clinical trial tests whether the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided transurethral ultrasound ablation (TULSA) procedure is safe and effective in treating patients with low to intermediate grade prostate cancer. MRI-guided TULSA ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that uses an ultrasound device guided by MRI imaging to deliver high-energy sound waves, producing very high temperature to ablate (destroy) tumor cells in a targeted manner. The MRI-guided TULSA procedure may help patients avoid surgery and help improve prostate cancer patients' quality of life.
Detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To perform the TULSA procedure for safety and efficacy outcomes in men aged 45 to 80 years with biopsy-confirmed, National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) low to intermediate-risk prostate cancer. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: I. To assess patient-reported metrics for quality of life (QOL). II. To assess return to normal activity. III. Compare economic benefit as noted from Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC) questionnaire. OUTLINE: Patients undergo MRI-guided TULSA. Patients may also undergo digital rectal exam (DRE), cystoscopy, biopsy, bone scan, prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET), and/or multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) at screening. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 and 24 months.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Male * Age 45-80 years, with \> 10 years life expectancy * Biopsy-confirmed, NCCN \[Gleason Grade (GG) 1, favorable GG 2 and unfavorable GG3\] intermediate-risk prostate cancer * Stage =\< T2c, N0, M0 * International Society of Urological Pathology (ISUP) grade group 1, 2, or 3 disease on transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS)-guided biopsy (minimum 8 cores, combination of systematic and MRI fusion-guided) or in-bore biopsy \[minimum 3 cores from each Prostate Imaging-Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) version (v)2 category \>= 3 lesion\]. Biopsy reported within 12 months of baseline visit, with minimum 6-week interval between biopsy and baseline * Prostate specific antigen (PSA) =\< 20 ng/mL reported within 3 months of baseline * Treatment naive * Planned ablation volume \< 3.0 cm axial radius from the urethra on mpMRI acquired within 6 months of baseline
Exclusion criteria
* Inability to undergo MRI or general anaesthesia * Suspected tumour \> 30 mm from the prostatic urethra or \< 14 mm from the prostatic urethra * Prostate calcifications \> 3 mm in maximum extent obstructing ablation of tumor on low-dose pelvic computed tomography (CT) * Criteria subject to additional review and approval by sponsor. Alternatively, prospective TRUS to query calcifications or susceptibility-weighted MRI if available may be used to assess calcification. Imaging for calcification screening must be dated within 1 year of baseline visit * Unresolved urinary tract infection or prostatitis * History of proctitis, bladder stones, hematuria, history of acute urinary retention, severe neurogenic bladder * Artificial urinary sphincter, penile implant or intraprostatic implant * Less than 10 years life expectancy * Patients who are otherwise not deemed candidates for radical prostatectomy (RP) * Inability or unwillingness to provide informed consent * History of anal or rectal fibrosis or stenosis, or urethral stenosis, or other abnormality challenging insertion of devices
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Proportion of patients free from treatment failure | At 24 months post-treatment | Failure is defined as: delivery of any additional intervention for prostate cancer (local or systemic, including adjuvant therapy); or metastatic disease; or prostate cancer-specific death. |
| Proportion of patients who maintain both urinary continence and erectile potency | At 12 months | Continence is defined as 'pad-free' (0 pads/day), and potency is defined as erection firmness sufficient for penetration (Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite \[EPIC\]). Two-sided, 95% Pearson-Clopper confidence interval (CI) will be calculated for each intervention arm separately, and the difference in safety outcomes, along with exact 95% two-sided CI will be calculated. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Histologic failure | At 12 months | The proportion of patients with clinically significant disease on targeted +/- systematic biopsy at 12 months. Clinically significant disease is defined as Gleason grade group 2 or higher. It is measured using scale Grade Group 1, 2, 3, and 4. |
| Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) Prostate Imaging and Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) version 2 score for each visible lesion | At 24 months post-treatment | These data will also be collected at 24 months post-initial treatment, for patients who receive repeat TULSA procedure. Findings from for-cause mpMRI will also be captured using Pi-Rads 1-5, 1 being most likely not cancer to 5 being very suspicious. |
| Total prostate volume | At 24 months post-treatment | These data will also be collected at 24 months post-initial treatment, for patients who receive repeat TULSA procedure. Findings from for-cause mpMRI will also be captured. |
| Salvage-free survival | Up to 24 months | Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. |
| Biochemical failure-free survival | Up to 24 months | Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. |
| Change in patient-reported genitourinary function | Baseline up to 24 months | Change from baseline in the EPIC questions 8-21 will be measured using Scale Grade Group 1, 2, 3, and 4. |
| Metastasis-free survival | Up to 24 months | Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. |
| Prostate cancer-specific survival | Up to 24 months | Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. |
| Overall survival | Up to 24 months | Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. |
| Change in quality of life | Baseline up to 24 months | Change from baseline in the EPIC questions 1-7 domains and in the visual analog score will be measured at baseline, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months using Scale Grade Group 1, 2, 3, and 4. |
| Histologic failure-free survival | Up to 24 months | Will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. |
| Biochemical failure | Up to 24 months | In the absence of a validated threshold for biochemical failure in the setting of ablative therapies, the Phoenix criteria will be adopted for the transurethral ultrasound ablation (TULSA) procedure (nadir + 2 ng/mL). Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is measured at baseline/procedure, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, and 24 months. It's measured using Scale Grade Group 1, 2, 3, and 4. |
