About this study

Official title: An Evaluation of the Efficacy of Partial Gland Ablation (PGA) With TOOKAD® Vascular Targeted Photodynamic Therapy (VTP) Versus Active Surveillance for Men With Intermediate Risk Localized Prostate Cancer

Multi-center, prospective, randomized controlled clinical trial that will compare two treatment methods (PGA with TOOKAD® VTP and Active Surveillance) for treating localized prostate cancer. The study will include criteria for evaluation, biopsy, eligibility, informed consent, subsequent management and decision making conducted based on data provided locally at each center that follow a set of standardized criteria.

Read the detailed description

The primary endpoint requires follow-up through 30 months, but all subjects will be followed for 72 months regardless of initiation of other local or systemic prostate cancer treatments, which will allow assessments of recurrence rates and morbidity after conversion to radical therapy, long-term safety and tolerability, as well as oncologic outcomes.

This is multi-center, prospective, randomized controlled phase III clinical trial that will compare two treatment methods (PGA with TOOKAD® VTP and Active Surveillance) for treating localized prostate cancer who meet the inclusion criteria will be approached for participation in the clinical study. Patients consenting to participate will be individually randomized to TOOKAD® VTP or Active Surveillance with a 1:1 ratio. Central randomization will be performed using an independent web-based allocation system. Randomization will be stratified by center using minimization. Ongoing assessment of patients in both arms will be balanced, including follow up examinations, PSA testing, MRI and biopsies at defined intervals.

Subjects in the experimental arm will receive the experimental treatment consisting of unilateral TOOKAD® VTP treatment applied to the index lobe containing pattern 4 cancer. The treatment will be administered under general anesthesia. Routine ultrasound examination in the operating room will be performed for morphometric description of the prostate and to facilitate accurate treatment planning and probe placement. Ultrasound will not be used for diagnostic purposes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing TOOKAD® in people with Localized Prostate Cancer, run by Steba Biotech S.A. at 1 site 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 10 inclusion and 19 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 13 Nov 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 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 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?

Rate of objective progression (time frame: over 30 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 13 Nov 2020.
