Measure
SpaceOAR
Subjects 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 SpaceOAR System: Fiducial marker placement followed by randomization to treatment group, i.e., 10mL SpaceOAR hydrogel injection, or control group, i.e., no injection of SpaceOAR hydrogel.
Control
Subjects 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.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months post index procedure

Population: Intent-to-Treat (ITT) population was defined to be all randomized subjects (SpaceOAR and Control group).

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 outcome

Timeframe: 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 15 months

Population: Intent-to-Treat (ITT) population was defined to be all randomized subjects (SpaceOAR and Control group). Mean change in score was calculated for the number of subjects providing data at each follow-up visit.

Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC) is a comprehensive survey instrument designed to assesses the disease-specific aspects of prostate cancer and its therapies and comprises four domains. Scores for each domain (urinary, sexual, bowel, hormonal) range from 0-100, with higher scores indicating improved quality of life. Scores are reported as mean change from baseline at each time point.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 21 days post index procedure, prior to initiation of radiation therapy

Population: SpaceOAR treated subjects experiencing a procedure related AE prior to initiation of radiation therapy.

An event was classified as a Procedure AE if it occurred during during and immediately after the Index Procedure or was deemed to be associated with the Index Procedure by the Clinical Events Committee (CEC). Per protocol subjects were to begin intensity modulated radiation therapy within 21 days following fiducial marker and/or SpaceOAR placement.
