About this study

This patient registry will capture data from patients who have been or who are undergoing the transurethral ultrasound ablation (TULSA) procedure as part of their routine clinical care. The registry will shed light on real-world outcomes of safety and efficacy of the procedure and understand how a patient's quality of life is affected throughout their follow-up and lifetime.

Read the detailed description

This registry will capture data on patients undergoing customized transurethral ultrasound ablation (TULSA) as part of their routine clinical care. The aim of collecting such data is to further evaluate real-world outcomes of safety and efficacy of this treatment. The collection of this data is intended to form an evidence-base from which conclusions can be drawn on how to optimize outcomes to improve patient care and QOL, and further expand on knowledge of practice trends and treatment costs.

The primary safety objective is to estimate the rate of complications attributable to the TULSA Procedure. The primary efficacy objective is estimating the proportion of patients who are free from primary treatment failure after the TULSA Procedure.

Patients being offered TULSA Procedure will be invited to participate in the registry. Patients who have already undergone TULSA will also be allowed to join the registry. Hundreds to thousands of patients across sites in US, Canada and Europe will be followed as per routine clinical care at 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, 5 years and annually lifelong thereafter. Patients will remain active in the registry until they voluntarily withdraw or die. At each visit, patients will complete a set of questionnaires that is sent to them by email.

  • Informed consent will be collected prior to enrolling the patient into the Registry.
  • Initial baseline information will be collected (eg. demographics, medical history, concomitant medication, prostate MRI, prostate biopsy, PSA, and QOL Questionnaires)
  • TULSA Procedure treatment assessment and complications will be collected from clinic records from treatment day. Optional financial tracking information may also be collected if patient consents to this portion of the registry.
  • At follow-up visits, a set of data points will be collected (eg. PSA, complications, QoL Questionnaires, survival assessments, and optional financial tracking information)

All Registry data will be collected and stored in an electronic database capture system called Castor. Castor is validated and compliant with all applicable laws and regulations, including ICH E6 GCP, 21 CFR Part 11, EU annex II, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), HIPAA (US), ISO 9001 and ISO 27001. Only sites and sponsor personnel will have access to the database. On site and/or remote study monitoring will be undertaken to check source documents and accuracy of data entry. All reasonable methods will be used to try to minimize missing data, however, some missing data is expected to occur. No interpolation of missing data will occur. Standard descriptive statistics, including the mean, standard deviation, median, range, proportion and frequency, will be used throughout to summarize results. Measures will be presented, and 95% confidence intervals will be constructed for selected measures, such as efficacy and safety. As a primarily descriptive study, analyses will be performed at the p=0.05 level of significance and exact analyses will be used wherever possible.

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of complications

    estimating the rate of complications (Clavien-Dindo grades III - IV) attributable to the TULSA Procedure

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Freedom from treatment failure

    Estimating the proportion of patients who are free from primary treatment failure after the TULSA Procedure.

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (18)
  1. Complications Data

    complications arising from TULSA-PRO treatment, categorized based on the type of corrective therapy needed using the Clavien-Dindo classification system

    Measured: Lifelong up to 99 years

  2. Biopsy Data

    in men with prostate cancer, biopsy data to assess if there are changes to either cancer or clinically significant cancer in the treatment region.

    Measured: Between 6 and 18 months post TULSA Procedure

  3. Prostate Volume Reduction on MRI

    Multi-parametric prostate MRI data to measure prostate volume reduction

    Measured: Between 6 and 18 months post TULSA Procedure

  4. Suspicious cancerous lesions on MRI

    Identify presence of any suspicious (i.e. suspected for cancer) lesions.

    Measured: Between 6 and 18 months post TULSA Procedure

  5. PSA Data

    PSA data to identify changes in PSA from baseline.

    Measured: Lifelong up to 99 years

  6. QoL (IIEF-5) Data-Evaluation of Erectile Dysfunction, Ejaculatory function and erection firmness

    Patient-reported qualify of life (QoL) questionnaire answers to assess changes in erectile dysfunction, ejaculatory function and erection firmness:

    IIEF-5 (International Index of Erectile Function) Minimum score=5, Maximum score=25. Lower scores indicate a worse outcome.

    Measured: Lifelong up to 99 years

  7. QoL (IIEF-15) Data-Evaluation of Erectile Dysfunction, Ejaculatory function and erection firmness

    Patient-reported qualify of life (QoL) questionnaire answers to assess changes in erectile dysfunction, ejaculatory function and erection firmness.

    2 questions from IIEF-15 (International Index of Erectile Function) Low scores indicate a worse outcome.

    Measured: Lifelong up to 99 years

  8. QoL (IPSS) Data- Evaluation of Urinary Symptoms and Incontinence

    Patient-reported qualify of life (QoL) questionnaire answers to assess changes in urinary symptoms and urinary incontinence:

    IPSS (International Prostate Symptom Score) Minimum score=0, Maximum score=35. Higher scores indicate a worse outcome.

    Measured: Lifelong up to 99 years

  9. QoL (EPIC) Data- Evaluation of Urinary Symptoms and Incontinence

    Patient-reported qualify of life (QoL) questionnaire answers to assess changes in urinary symptoms and urinary incontinence:
