Study Summary

Multicenter, prospective, European, single-arm, open-label, 12-month follow-up clinical trial. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a 3D cartography-based targeted microwave ablation for the treatment of the index lesion in patients with intermediate risk prostate cancer.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient aged from 45 to 76 years old
  • Life expectancy >10 years at the inclusion time
  • Patient diagnosed with an intermediate-risk prostate cancer, defined by:
  • A T1c or T2a clinical stage
  • A unique cancer focus of Gleason (3+4) (Grade Group 2)
  • A PSA level <20 ng/mL
  • Cancer focus identified on a multiparametric MRI of the prostate no more than 3 monthsbefore inclusion
  • Confirmation of the suspicion of cancer identified on the MRI with transrectal ortransperineal targeted and systematic biopsies performed with the KOELIS TRINITYsystem (no more than 3 months before inclusion)
  • Patient suitable for IV sedation or general anesthesia and focal microwave ablation
  • No debilitating medical or psychiatric illness that would preclude giving informedconsent or receiving optimal treatment and follow-up
  • Known coagulopathy or bleeding disorders are controlled
  • Free, informed and written consent, dated and signed before the enrollment and beforeany exam required by the trial
  • Patient affiliated to social security regimen or beneficiary of such regimen for localregions

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Past medical history of prostate surgery
  • Past medical history of radiotherapy or pelvic trauma
  • Past medical history of acute prostatitis
  • Presently taking hormonal manipulation or androgen supplements.
  • Past medical history of cancer in the 5 previous years, excluding a non-metastaticbasal cell carcinoma of the skin
  • Severe BPH-related urinary tract symptoms, defined by an IPSS score >18
  • Serious medical illness, including any of the following: uncontrolled congestive heartfailure, uncontrolled angina, myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular event within 6months prior to the screening visit
  • Contraindications for MRI exam
  • Extracapsular cancer extension or seminal vesicles or pelvic lymph node invasionsuspected on prostate MRI
  • Presence of two or more clinically significant cancer foci in the inclusion biopsyexam
  • Presence of a clinically significant cancer with a Gleason score ≥8 (Grade Group ≥4)
  • Tumor largest axis >12 mm on the prostate MRI
  • Distance between the cancer focus and the apex <10 mm on the prostate MRI
  • Distance between the cancer focus and the rectum <5 mm on the prostate MRI
  • Patient already participating in an interventional clinical trial
  • Patient protected by law

Study Description

European and American guidelines recommend several therapeutic alternatives: radical surgical treatment, external beam radiotherapy or brachytherapy. However, whole-gland treatment induces significant morbidity and burden on quality of life. Targeted treatments of the index tumor are currently under investigation to decrease morbidity while proposing active treatment.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of a novel ablation treatment using microwaves, delivered transrectally or transperineally under real-time guidance with MRI-transrectal ultrasound image registration. The index tumor will be detected with prostate MRI and characterized with targeted biopsies using Organ Based Tracking (OBT) fusion with the TRINITY system (KOELIS, Meylan, France). The same system will be used to identify the index lesion and guide the targeted microwave ablation performed with the TATO3 device (Biomedical Srl, Florence, Italy).

All patients will undergo biopsy at 12 months of follow-up. A biopsy session will also be performed at 6 months, but only for patients with imaging results suspicious for cancer within the ablated area on the mpMRI.
