About this study

Official title: Study of Erectile Dysfunction, Urinary Incontinence and Related Quality of Life After TOOKAD® Vascular Targeted Photodynamic Therapy (VTP) for Minimally Invasive Treatment of Unilateral Low Risk Prostate Cancer

Multiple center, single-arm, open-label, 12-month follow-up phase IV pragmatic clinical trial in men with unilateral prostate cancer meeting eligibility criteria for the drug (as per the European Economic Area (EEA) Marketing Authorisation) to assess the occurrence and dynamics of the time with toxicities (urinary incontinence Grade 2 and over and/or erectile dysfunction Grade 2 and over) in patients 12 months following TOOKAD® VTP.

Read the detailed description

This is a multiple center, single-arm, open-label, 12-month follow-up phase IV pragmatic clinical trial. Men with unilateral prostate cancer meeting eligibility criteria for the drug (as per the EEA Marketing Authorisation) will receive TOOKAD® VTP under general anesthesia. The primary objective is to assess the occurrence and dynamics of the time with toxicities (urinary incontinence Grade 2 and over and/or erectile dysfunction Grade 2 and over) in patients 12 months following TOOKAD® VTP. Prior to the TOOKAD® VTP, patients will undergo routine ultrasound examination in the operating room for morphometric description of the prostate and to facilitate accurate treatment guidance for the treatment with TOOKAD® VTP. Treatment will then be applied to the prostate gland as a hemi-ablation procedure designed to destroy the lobe of the prostate gland that contains the cancer. Afterwards, patients will be followed for 12 months with clinical evaluation, data collection on erectile and urinary functions at 1, 2, 3 6 and 12 months, using the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC), International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) and International Prostate Score Symptom (IPSS) questionnaires on Quality Of Life (QOL) and Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) testing at 3, 6 and 12 months.

The clinical follow-up of patients will follow local standard of care processes, based on recommendations in the European Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC).

This study is a phase IV pragmatic trial using optimal dose of TOOKAD® and optimal light-energy level conditions that were determined during development and approved by the European Commission.

What participants receive

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

  • TOOKAD VTPDrug

    TOOKAD® VTP consists of the combination of a single, 10-minute IV infusion of TOOKAD® at the dose of 3.66 mg/kg, followed by the illumination of the zone to be treated with a 753-nm laser light delivered through transperineal interstitial optical fibers at a power of 150 mW/cm and light energy of 200 J/cm applied over 22 minutes and 15 seconds.

  8. PSA density

    Average changes from baseline in PSA density at month 12

    Measured: 12 months

  9. Rate of Adverse Events

    Measured: 12 months

  10. Time to resolution of Adverse events

    Time to resolution of adverse events for each adverse event reported

    Measured: 12 months

  11. Additional prostate cancer treatments

    Rate of additional treatment as decided by local practice, such as radical therapy (surgical removal of the prostate gland, radiation treatment to the prostate gland) or other intervention therapy to the ipsilateral and/or contralateral lobe, use of hormone or chemotherapies.

    Measured: 12 months

  12. Extension of prostate cancer

    Rate of reported extension of prostate cancer based on locally decided investigations (such as clinical examination, biopsy, Magnetic resonance Imaging (MRI), other).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing TOOKAD VTP in people with Low Risk Prostate Cancer, run by Steba Biotech S.A. at 1 site in France.

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 14 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Mar 2021. 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 France. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Early end of enrolment with regards to difficulty met to enrol patients). 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?

Cumulated time with toxicity (duration) (time frame: 12 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 23 Mar 2021.
