Sound waves vs. prostate cancer: new MRI-Guided treatment tested

NCT ID NCT04808427

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused This study
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests a procedure called TULSA that uses MRI images to guide high-energy ultrasound waves to destroy prostate cancer tumors. About 21 adults with early-stage prostate cancer that shows up on MRI will receive this heat-based treatment. The goal is to see if the approach is safe and feasible, with follow-up over three years to monitor results.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 21 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Started

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

A government research agency

The lead sponsor is the US National Institutes of Health.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

* INCLUSION CRITERIA: Subjects must have prostate cancer amenable for ultrasound ablation defined as: * diagnosed by transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy via standard 12 core biopsy and targeted biopsy of any MRI-visible or tracked lesions; pathological diagnosis must be confirmed by Laboratory of Pathology, NCI; * Gleason Score \<= 7; * MRI-visible or MRI-tracked prostate cancer. This includes prostate cancer found on targeted biopsy of MRI-visible or MRI-tracked lesion. Histologically positive standard biopsy cores of Grade Group \>= 2 prostate cancer must be from an area overlying or within 1cm of an MRI-visible or tracked lesion(s) and reviewed by NCI urologic pathologist. (Left / Right, Base, Mid-Gland, Apex). Systematic and targeted cores of Grade Group 1 prostate cancer outside of proposed ablation zone do not affect inclusion status, as these can be observed by conventional guideline management. * organ confined clinical T1c or clinical T2a prostate cancer that is visualized on MRI. Note: Participants after prostate cancer treatment with local recurrence or residual tumor which is visible on MRI are eligible. * PSA \< 20 ng/ml or PSA \>20 with a PSA density \<0.15. * Adults (\>= 18 years of age) * Participants must have adequate organ and marrow function as defined below: Platelets \>= 50,000/mcL Hemoglobin \>= 8 g/dL Measured or calculated creatinine clearance (CrCl) (eGFR may also be used in place of CrCl)\* \>= 30 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 GFR=glomerular filtration rate; ULN=upper limit of normal. \*Creatinine clearance (CrCl) or eGFR should be calculated per institutional standard. * Subjects must be able to understand and willing to sign a written informed consent document. * Subjects must be co-enrolled to NCI protocol 16-C-0010 "Care of the Prostate Cancer Patient and Prospective Procurement of Prostate Cancer Tissue." EXCLUSION CRITERIA: * Targeted lesion ablation length from apex to base of \>5 cm or lesion extending \>3 cm from the urethra. * Target ablation volume greater than 100 ml. * Presence of calcifications that would impede ultrasound transmission between the urethra and ablative target. * Participants are unable to tolerate MRI (foreign body, i.e., pacemaker or other implanted device; claustrophobia; inability to tolerate rectal coil; etc.) * Acute urinary tract infection * Lower urinary tract symptoms defined by an IPSS \> 20 * Participants with uncontrolled coagulopathies (including liver dysfunction, or untreated hereditary coagulopathies which have a standard of care treatment) per surgeon discretion based on bleeding risk. * Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situation (within time frame) that would limit compliance with study requirements.
