About this study

Official title: Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE) for the Treatment of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) in Prostate Cancer Patients Undergoing Radiation Therapy

The purpose of this study is to learn if the prostatic artery embolization procedure can reduce urinary tract symptoms in patients with enlarged prostates and prostate cancer.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE

  1. To evaluate the symptomatic improvement in lower urinary tract symptoms after prostatic artery embolization (PAE)

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES

  1. To evaluate objective measures of improved urinary obstruction after PAE: urine flow rate, prostate volume, and post-void residual
  2. To measure effects of PAE on prostate specific antigen (PSA).
  3. To evaluate if PAE reduces the prostate volume and simplifies radiation therapy
  4. To evaluate the safety of PAE performed in this patient population

What participants receive

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

  • Prostatic artery embolizationProcedure or surgery

    Patients will undergo PAE with 100-300 µm or 300-500 µm Embospheres following standard PAE technique performed by Interventional Radiology at Stanford University

Receives: Procedure: Prostatic artery embolization

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean change from baseline in symptom score using the International Prostate Symptom Scale (IPSS)

    Patients will be classified into one of 3 symptom severity categories based on their total IPSS score as follows:

    Mildly symptomatic: 0-7 Moderately symptomatic: 8-19 Severely symptomatic: 20-35

    Measured: 2 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Mean change from baseline in maximal urinary flow measured

    Measured: at baseline, 2 months, and 12 months after intervention

  2. Mean change from baseline in post-void residual measured

    Measured: at baseline, 2 months, and 12 months after intervention

  3. Mean change from baseline in prostate volume measure

    Measured: at baseline, 2 months, and 12 months after intervention

  4. Mean change from baseline in international prostate symptom scale to measure long term subjective outcomes measured

    Patients will be classified into one of 3 symptom severity categories based on their total IPSS score as follows:

    Mildly symptomatic: 0-7 Moderately symptomatic: 8-19 Severely symptomatic: 20-35

    Measured: at baseline, 2 months, and 12 months after intervention

  5. Mean change from baseline prostate specific antigen measure

    Measured: at baseline, 2 months, and 12 months after intervention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Prostatic artery embolization in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Stanford University 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 8 inclusion and 8 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 9 Aug 2024. 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.

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?

Mean change from baseline in symptom score using the International Prostate Symptom Scale (IPSS) (time frame: 2 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 9 Aug 2024.
