  • PSA ≥ 15 ng/mL.
  • Clinical stage >T2b or evidence of nodal
  • Patients who are on anticoagulants or high dose aspirin therapy that cannot be safely stopped for greater than 10 days prior to treatment should be excluded to limit increased risk for urinary obstruction.

About this study

This clinical research study tests the Uronav system. Patients with prostate cancer will be asked to take part in this study.

Uronav system is an investigational device that is used on this study to help place markers in the patient. These are called fiducial markers and they are placed in the patient to help plan radiation treatment. Radiation therapy treatment will be planned by the treating physician and will not be experimental or part of this research study.

This study will also test the similarities and differences of biopsy tissue structures and the findings from the intraprostatic MRI (internally guided MRI).

Study Objectives

Specific Aim 1: Evaluate final pathology post-operatively for histopathology confirmation of multiparametric MRI targets detected during treatment planning. This will be accomplished by using transperineal biopsies obtained prior to interstitial brachytherapy during the procedure, while under anesthetic just prior to the placement of the brachytherapy needles and sources.

Specific Aim 2: Evaluate the ability of the Uronav system in a transperineal setting to guide biopsy needle placement using the electromagnetic guidance system and transperineal ultrasound probe stabilization device and stepper.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Uronav guided biopsyDevice

    Also called Phillips Medical's Uronav

    All biopsies will be completed in the outpatient setting in the ambulatory operating room prior to routine prostate brachytherapy under general anesthesia.

    Patients will be prepped in a dorsal lithotomy position with insertion of a Foley catheter. The perineum will be shaved as needed, and cleansed with antiseptic solution, and the scrotum will be elevated with a towel roll to expose the perineum.

  • Magnetic resonance imagingDevice

    Also called MRI

    An MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is a scan that uses radio waves and a strong magnetic field to provide images of internal organs and tissues. This is not part of the study but will have been done per standard treatment. An MRI will occur at the screening visit and last visit of the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Who Had Biopsies With True Positives Between Biopsy Tissue and Intraprostatic MRI

    Number of participants who had biopsies with true positives between biopsy tissue and intraprostatic MRI (sensitivity of the intraprostatic MRI)

    Measured: Within 15 days of screening

  2. Number of Biopsies With True Negatives Between Biopsy Tissue and Intraprostatic MRI

    Number of biopsies with true negatives between biopsy tissue and intraprostatic MRI (specificity of the intraprostatic MRI)

    Measured: Within 15 days of screening

  3. Number of Biopsies With False Positives Between Biopsy Tissue and Intraprostatic MRI

    Number of biopsies with false positives between biopsy tissue and intraprostatic MRI (positive predictive values of MRI)

    Measured: Within 15 days of screening

  4. Number of Biopsies With False Negatives Between Biopsy Tissue and Intraprostatic MRI

    Number of biopsies with false negatives between biopsy tissue and intraprostatic MRI (negative predictive values of MRI)

    Measured: Within 15 days of screening

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Number of Participants With Infections Within 30 Days

    The infection rate within 30 days due to the procedure will be collected for expected acute events and these data will be used for reporting the study results for specific aim 2 evaluation the transperineal use of Uronav to determine if the transperineal biopsy approach results in a reduced rate of infection compared to standard transrectal biopsies .

    Measured: Up to 30 days post biopsy

  2. Number of Hospitalizations Within 30 Days

    The hospitalization rate within 30 days due to the procedure will be collected for expected acute events and these data will be used for reporting the study results for specific aim 2 evaluation the transperineal use of Uronav to determine if the transperineal biopsy approach results in a reduced rate of hospitalization compared to standard transrectal biopsies .

    Measured: Up to 30 days post biopsy

  3. Number of Participants Who Had Successful Completion of Transperineal Biopsy Procedure

    The study will be to report the incidence of successful completion of the transperineal biopsy procedure using the Uronav system which is provided by Philips Medical as part of the support for this study

    Measured: Up to 15 days after screening

  4. Dosimetric Coverage of Brachytherapy Implant Described by Mean V100 (% Volume)

    Post-operative radiation dose coverage reported as volumes of prostate receiving a percentage of the prescribed dose, described by mean V100 (% volume)

    Measured: Up to 15 days after screening

  5. Dosimetric Coverage of Brachytherapy Implant Described by Mean D90 (% Rx)

    Dosimetric coverage of brachytherapy implant described by mean D90 (% Rx), which refers to the main dose in the hottest 90% of the post-implant prostate volume (given as a percent of the RX dose)

    Measured: Up to 15 days after screening

  6. Dosimetric Coverage of Targeted Lesion Described by Mean V100 (% Volume)

    post-operative radiation dose coverage reported as volumes of targeted lesion receiving a percentage of the prescribed dose, described by mean V100 (% Volume)

    Measured: Up to 15 days after screening

  7. Dosimetric Coverage of Targeted Lesion Described by Mean D90 (%Rx)

    Dosimetric coverage of target lesion described by mean D90 (% Rx), which refers to the main dose in the hottest 90% of the targeted lesion volume (given as a percent of the RX dose)

    Measured: Up to 15 days after screening
