About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Single-center, Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing the Functional and Oncological Outcomes of High-frequency Irreversible Electroporation and Laparoscopic Radical Prostatectomy in Men With Localized Prostate Cancer

This trial is comparing the functional and oncological outcomes in treating men with prostate cancer between high-frequency irreversible electroporation and laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.

Read the detailed description

Two hundred and sixteen patients with localized prostate cancer will include in this study. The clinical trial validation process will be as follows: (1) all patients are randomly divided into two arms: arm 1, high-frequency irreversible electroporation; group 2, laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. The primary outcome is the urinary function and sexual function.

Being tested
Focal therapy(high-frequency irreversible electroporation), laparoscopic radical prostatectomy
Keywords

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Focal therapy(high-frequency irreversible electroporation) and laparoscopic radical prostatectomy in people with Prostate Cancer and Treatment, run by Shanghai East Hospital 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 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Jun 2022. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Biming He, MD (+8615502139410, 190589109@qq.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

urinary function measured by ICIQ (time frame: 4 weeks). The study lists 36 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 2 Jun 2022.
