About this study

Official title: Irreversible Electroporation(IRE) For Unresectable Prostatic Neoplasms: Phase I and Phase II Clinical Trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of irreversible electroporation (IRE) for unresectable Prostatic Neoplasms.

Read the detailed description

By enrolling patients with unresectable Prostatic Neoplasms adapted to enrolled criteria, this study will document for the first time the safety and the short and long term efficacy of percutaneous IRE for unresectable Prostatic Neoplasms.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participants with Adverse events

    Measured: 6 month

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Percentage of lesions that show no sign of recurrence 12 months after IRE

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Voltage (A minimum and maximum range of voltage for safe and effective IRE)

    A minimum and maximum range of voltage for safe and effective IRE will be analyzed for optimal choice.

    Measured: 3 months

  3. Progress free disease (PFS)

    Measured: 12 months

  4. Overall survival (OS)

    Patients will be followed for 36 months after IRE for OS analyzed.

    Measured: 36 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Irreversible electroporation (IRE) and NanoKnife in people with Prostatic Neoplasms, run by Fuda Cancer Hospital, Guangzhou at 1 site in China.

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 5 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 May 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Number of participants with Adverse events (time frame: 6 month). 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 27 May 2020.
