Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate if placing a dehydrated human amnion chorion membrane (dHACM) over the nerves after removal of the prostate during surgery (radical prostatectomy) will allow an earlier recovery of erectile function and urinary control after surgery.

Study Design

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Primary Study Purpose

SUPPORTIVE_CARE

Blinding Strategy

DOUBLE

Participants Caregivers
Participants will be blinded to the treatment they receive. To minimize bias on the surgical team during the nerve sparing process, the surgical team will be blinded to arm allocation until after the prostate is removed.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Membrane Arm: dHACM Group

Participants will undergo standard of care robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) surgery and the dehydrated Human Amnion Chorion Membrane (dHACM) membrane placed after removal of the prostate. Participants will be in the group for approximately 12 months.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

BioDFence G3 Placental Tissue Membrane

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

The BioDFence G3 Placental Tissue Membrane is a three-layer tissue allograft consisting of amnion-chorion-amnion. Amniotic membranes will be placed over the neurovascular bundle after extirpative RARP. The membrane will be cut into two longitudinal pieces and placed over each neurovascular bundle separately.

Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Robot-assisted surgical removal of the prostate, administered standard of care.

Control Arm: No dHACM Group

Participants will undergo standard of care RARP surgery but will have no dehydrated Human Amnion Chorion Membrane (dHACM) placed after removal of the prostate. Participants will be in the group for approximately 12 months.

Group Type OTHER

Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Robot-assisted surgical removal of the prostate, administered standard of care.
