New gel shield may make prostate freezing safer
NCT ID NCT07567027
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This early study tests whether a gel called Barrigel can stay unfrozen and protect the rectum during prostate cancer cryoablation (freezing treatment). About 20 men with localized or recurrent prostate cancer will receive the gel before the procedure. The main goal is to see if the gel resists freezing, which could reduce side effects and improve safety.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Male patients aged 40-95 years. * Biopsy-confirmed localized prostate cancer (Grade Group ≥ 2). Salvage cryoablation cases may be included. * Unifocal disease visible on multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) and amenable to focal or whole gland cryoablation. * Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) \< 20 ng/ml. * No metastatic disease on Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) PET/CT, when recommended per National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines. * Eligible for and consenting to transperineal cryoablation under anesthesia. * Willingness to comply with post-procedure follow-up, including PSA testing and imaging. * Cryoablation which requires treatment of the posterior prostate as per clinician judgement. Exclusion Criteria: * Evidence of metastatic disease. * Prior radiation therapy to the area of the prostate. * Active rectal or urinary tract infection. * Known allergy to hyaluronic acid products or contrast agents. * Inability to tolerate MRI. * Inability or unwillingness to comply with study follow-up.
