About this study

Official title: A Multicenter Clinical Study of the Sonablate® 500 (SB-500) for the Treatment of Localized (T1c/T2a) Prostate Cancer With HIFU

This study will compare high intensity focused ultrasound to standard brachytherapy in the treatment of primary, organ confined prostate cancer.

Read the detailed description

The proposed study is a prospective, non-randomized concurrently controlled study. The active treatment arm uses the HIFU procedure with the Sonablate device. The control arm uses the brachytherapy procedure. The safety and effectiveness of the Sonablate arm will be compared with the brachytherapy arm. The control arm of the study will be conducted at clinical sites different from the Sonablate arm.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The primary endpoint will be the absence of biochemical failure, which is defined as a rise of 2.0 ng/mL or more above the PSA nadir and negative biopsy at 24 months.

    Measured: 24 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing HIFU (Sonablate® 500) and Brachytherapy in people with Prostate Cancer, run by SonaCare Medical at 6 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 22 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Apr 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

The primary endpoint will be the absence of biochemical failure, which is defined as a rise of 2.0 ng/mL or more above the PSA nadir and negative biopsy at 24 months. (time frame: 24 Months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 10 Apr 2019.
