Filter by:This is a multi-center clinical study enrolling up to 10 participants. The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility and safety of intratumoral DaRT seeds implantation for the treatment of locally recurrent prostate cancer. Secondary objectives are to 1. To evaluate feasibility of interstitial radiotherapy using DaRT seeds. Feasibility will be determined according to the rate of successful placement of DaRT seeds via imaging [Timeframe: immediately following the insertion procedure 2. To assess the impact of DaRT seeds on patient reported quality of life.
Men diagnosed with significant cancer confined to the prostate currently undergo radical therapy directed to the whole prostate (radiotherapy or prostatectomy). These provide good cancer control but can cause significant side effects. Focal Therapy involves targeting the cancer alone, whilst leaving healthy prostate gland alone. Case series have shown similar cancer control over 5 years with a much better side effect profile. However, there have been no randomised control trials (RCTs) comparing the success in cancer control and the quality of life in patients that undergo radical therapy vs those that undergo focal therapy. Further, there is a need to assess the use of additional therapies that may improve the cancer control outcomes following focal therapy. By having a trials platform with two RCTs (CHRONOS-A and CHRONOS-B) that reflect best patient and physician preferences/ equipoise, the investigators aim to answer these questions. To improve acceptability, recruitment and compliance, the investigators have an embedded study aimed at reviewing clinician and patient perspectives and trial acceptability. CHRONOS-A will compare radical therapy to focal therapy, whilst CHRONOS-B will compare focal therapy alone to focal therapy with various therapies targeting the testosterone pathway that can shrink the cancer before it is treated. The investigators think this might improve outcomes further for men that definitely want focal therapy.
The pupose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of Samarium 153 administration, as determined by a 30% decline in the PSA within 12 weeks, as compared to baseline, in a population of men with high risk, clinically non-metastatic prostate cancer after a radical prostatectomy.
