Brief Summary

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

This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of focal ablation with either focal cryotherapy or high intensity frequency ultrasound for the treatment of men with localized prostate cancer. Focal cryotherapy kills tumor cells by freezing them. High intensity frequency ultrasound uses highly focused ultrasound waves to produce heat and destroy tumor cells.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To determine the efficacy of focal therapy for treatment of prostate cancer.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Patient reported urinary, sexual function and quality of life (QOL) at 1 year.

II. To assess safety.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo focal cryotherapy or high intensity focused ultrasound on study.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 7-14 days and periodically for up to 3 years.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Ability to understand and willingness to sign an informed consent form
* Clinically localized grade group 1, 2, or 3 prostate cancer and unilateral magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) visible lesion(s). Up to 3 lesions will be allowed for focal treatment
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 1 (Karnofsky ≥ 70%)
* Patients ≥ 18 years of age at time of consent
* Life expectancy ≥ 5 years
* Ability and stated willingness to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol procedures/requirements for the duration of the study

Exclusion Criteria

* Nodal or distant metastases
* Prior treatment for prostate cancer
* Anticipated treatment with any cancer intervention, including radiation, hormonal therapy or surgery ≤ 6 months prior to focal therapy in this study
* Known contraindications to general anesthesia
* Uncorrectable coagulopathy
* Significant active cardiac disease within the previous 6 months including: New York Heart Association (NYHA) class 4 congestive heart failure (CHF), unstable angina, or myocardial infarction
* Any condition that would prohibit the understanding or rendering of informed consent
