About this study

Official title: A Prospective Registry and Longitudinal Study of Patients Undergoing Focal Therapy for Localized Prostate Cancer

This prospective registry and longitudinal study that is designed to carefully measure details of prostate cancer patients' outcomes with focal therapy. The goal of which is to improve patient care.

Read the detailed description

This observational study will serve to collect data from medical record and review questionnaires before and after focal ablation of prostate tissue. All enrolled subjects will have already undergone or scheduled to receive the focal therapy as part of their prostate cancer treatment.

What participants receive

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

  • Focal TherapyProcedure or surgery

    Focal ablation of prostate cancer using different modalities. These modalities include:

    • Cryoablation or Cryotherapy
    • Irreversible Electroporation - Nanoknife
    • High Intensity Frequency Ultrasound - FocalOne
    • Transurethral Ultrasound Ablation - TULSA - PRO

What is being measured

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

  1. Oncological Response

    The following definitions will be used for evaluation of oncological response:

    Complete response: Ablation of prostate tissue in targeted biopsy cores at 12 months.

    Incomplete response: Residual disease at 12 months compared to baseline in target biopsy cores or systematic biopsy cores.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Erectile Dysfunction

    Assess impact on erections after ablation. The Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite for Clinical Practice (EPIC-CP) questionnaire will be used to evaluate sexual health quality-of-life symptoms for participants pre- and post-ablation.

    Patients will receive a score between 0 and 12, 0 being low with a better outcome and 12 being high with a worse outcome.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Incontinence

    Assess impact on continence after ablation. The Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite for Clinical Practice (EPIC-CP) questionnaire will be used to evaluate urinary health quality-of-life symptoms for participants pre- and post-ablation.

    Patients will receive a score between 0 and 12, 0 being low with a better outcome and 12 being high with a worse outcome.

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Prostate cancer recurrence. Patients will be monitored with a Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) every 6 months until 10 years from the intervention. Patients with a rising PSA will receive a prostate biopsy to determine if they have a recurrence.

    Assess long-term recurrence risk after ablation

    Measured: 10 years

Where can I read the original study information?
