Clinical Trial Summary

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of MRI-guided focal laser ablation (Laser-Induced Interstitial Thermal Therapy, LITT) to treat low-risk native prostate cancer.

Description:

The study is being done to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)-guided focal laser therapy with the Visualase Thermal Therapy System to treat low-risk prostate cancer tumors. Unlike surgery or radiotherapy which affects a large portion of the prostate or the entire organ, localized or focal therapy is intended to treat a small portion of tissue in which the cancer has been found by biopsy.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Success rate	To evaluate the procedural success rate of using the MR-guided laser ablation to target, access, thermally monitor, and focally ablate MR-visible prostate cancer lesions.	3 years
Primary	Incidence of treatment emergent adverse events	To evaluate patient-related safety by monitoring short and long-term complications related to the procedure such as but not limited to incontinence, impotence, and urethral fistulas.	3 years
Secondary	Short- and mid-term ablative success	To obtain preliminary data on ablative success using longitudinal MR imaging assessment of treated areas.	3 years
