Study Overview

Brief Summary

Evaluate the safety of the SpaceOAR System when the hydrogel is injected between the rectum and prostate in men undergoing radiation therapy (IG-IMRT)

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of the SpaceOAR System when the hydrogel is injected between the rectum and prostate in men undergoing radiation therapy (IG-IMRT) and to evaluate whether use of the SpaceOAR hydrogel results in a reduction of radiation exposure to the anterior rectum.

Inclusion Criteria

  • •Subjects greater than 18 years old
  • •Subjects must have pathologically confirmed invasive adenocarcinoma of the prostate and must be planning to undergo IMRT
  • •Subjects must have clinical stage T1 or T2 as determined from a biopsy taken within 6 months of the baseline/screening visit with Gleason Score less than or equal to 7
  • •Subjects Screening/Baseline laboratory testing must meet the following laboratory value criteria: PSA less than or equal to 20 ng/mL,hematocrit greater than 30%,serum creatinine less than 2.0 mg/dl, serum AST and ALT less than 2.5 times upper limit of institution normal, and serum bilirubin less than 2.0 mg/dl
  • •Subject or authorized representative, has been informed of the nature of the study and has provided written informed consent, approved by the appropriate Institutional Review Board (IRB) of the respective clinical site

Exclusion Criteria

  • •Prostate greater than 80cc documented within 3 months preceding the Screening/Baseline visit
  • •Subjects with extracapsular extension of the prostate cancer, with greater than 50% of the number of biopsy cores positive for cancer, metastatic disease, other ongoing cancers which will be treated during the study, or subjects for whom pelvic lymph node radiotherapy is planned
  • •Subjects with any prior invasive malignancy (except non-melanomatous skin cancer) unless the subject has been disease free for a minimum of 5 years.
  • •Subjects who are indicated for androgen deprivation therapy or who have been treated with androgen therapy within the prior 3 months.

Arms & Interventions

SpaceOAR

Experimental

Men meeting the study eligibility criteria will be scheduled for fiducial marker placement using a transperineal approach with ultrasound guidance. Following successful fiducial marker placement, subjects will be randomized (2:1) to the treatment group or control group. Subjects randomized to the treatment group will undergo placement of 10 mL of SpaceOAR hydrogel

Intervention: SpaceOAR System (Device)

Control

No Intervention

Men meeting the study eligibility criteria will be scheduled for fiducial marker placement using a transperineal approach with ultrasound guidance. Following successful fiducial marker placement, subjects will be randomized (2:1) to the treatment group or control group. Subjects randomized to the control group will not receive injection of the SpaceOAR hydrogel.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Number of Subjects Achieving a Reduction of 25% or Greater in Percent Volume of the Rectum Receiving at Least 70 Gy Measured From CT Scans Acquired Pre and Post SpaceOAR Hydrogel Injection

Time Frame: 3 months post index procedure

Measurements calculated and documented by the Core Lab. Measurements performed with the Core Lab blinded to subject identification. Results based on the Core Lab computation are considered as primary.

Percentage of Subjects Experiencing Grade 1 or Greater Rectal or Procedure Adverse Events Post Index Procedure

Time Frame: 6 months post index procedure

The primary safety endpoint was the occurrence of Grade 1 or greater rectal adverse events or procedure adverse events in the 6 months following the Index Procedure. The numbers reflect the percent of subjects in each arm/group that experienced grade 1 or greater rectal or procedure adverse events post index procedure.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Percentage of Subjects Experiencing Grade 2 or Greater Rectal or Procedure Adverse Events in the 6 Months Following the Index Procedure(6 months post index procedure)
  • Change From Baseline in Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC) Score Following Index Procedure(3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 15 months)
  • Number of SpaceOAR Subjects Experiencing a Procedure-Related Adverse Event (AE) Prior to Initiation of Radiation Therapy(21 days post index procedure, prior to initiation of radiation therapy)
  • Number of Subjects Experiencing a Delay in Radiation Therapy Associated With a Procedure or Device-Related Adverse Event(21 days post index procedure)
  • Percentage of Subjects Requiring at Least One Medication Change for Mitigation of Rectal or Urinary Symptoms or for Procedure-related Events in the 6 Months Following the Index Procedure(6 months post procedure)
