Safety Study of MRI-guided Transurethral Ultrasound Ablation of Prostate Tissue to Treat Localized Prostate Cancer
- Conditions
- Prostate Cancer
- Interventions
- Device: MR-Guided Transurethral US Ablation of Prostate Tissue
- Registration Number
- NCT01686958
- Lead Sponsor
- Profound Medical Inc.
- Brief Summary
This study is to evaluate that the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided transurethral ultrasound therapy system is safe and feasible to ablate prostate tissue in men with localized prostate cancer.
- Detailed Description
Profound Medical Inc. has developed a novel technology called the MRI-guided transurethral ultrasound therapy system. The technology is developed for patients with organ confined prostate cancer. The therapeutic endpoint of this technology is thermal coagulation of prostate tissue.
The treatment is conducted completely within an MRI suite, which enables real-time temperature images of the heated region to be acquired as the ultrasonic treatment is delivered. Using MRI thermometry during treatment, dynamic temperature feedback control over the intensity of the ultrasound beams and rotation of the Ultrasound Applicator can shape the pattern of thermal coagulation accurately and precisely in the prostate gland, thereby reducing the risk of possible damage to important surrounding anatomy such as the rectum, urinary sphincters, neurovascular bundles and pelvic bone. This coagulation method, therefore, has the potential to have lower complication rates than conventional therapies.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Safety - Evaluate the Frequency of Treatment Related Adverse Events 12 months from the Treatment Date All reported adverse events were recorded. The frequency was measured as the number of study participants who experienced a treatment/device related adverse event after receiving treatment delivery with PAD-105, the investigational device.
Safety - Evaluate the Severity of Treatment Related Adverse Events 12 months from the Treatment Date Severity of treatment/device related adverse events were evaluated in accordance with the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) standard (version 4), published by the National Cancer Institute (NCI).
There was no intraoperative complication, no rectal injury or fistula and no severe urinary incontinence. No Grade 4 (G4) or higher adverse events and only one attributable Grade 3 (G3) event; reported below. The common and significant Grade 1 (G1) and Grade 2 (G2) genitourinary events have also been reported.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Feasibility - Evaluate the Effectiveness of the Investigational System to Thermally Coagulate Prostate Tissue Conforming to the Target Volume With a High Degree of Accuracy and Precision On Treatment Date Conformal thermal coagulation of prostate tissue will be determined quantitatively using measures of targeting accuracy which compare the spatial difference between the target volume and target temperature isotherm determined from MR thermometry images acquired during treatment.
