Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

UroLift System implant will be implanted transurethrally under cystoscopic guidance with a UroLift System Delivery Device by a trained provider. Optimal placement of the implants will be verified cystoscopically. On average, 4-6 UroLift System implants are typically implanted but more or less can be placed per provided discretion, up to a maximum of 10 implants per manufacturer specifications.

Given that patients will also undergo UroLift System placement, patients will be offered to undergo UroLift System, fiducial marker placement and rectal gel spacer placement in one single procedure, under general anesthesia.

SAbR will be performed following placement of UroLift System, prostate fiducials, rectal spacer, and MR/CT simulation, using stereotactic immobilization/localization, rectal enema, prophylactic medication support (tamsulosin, dexamethasone unless contraindicated), bladder filling protocol, and appropriate imaging verification.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

45 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

See Appendix I for details on AJCC 8th Edition staging criteria. T-staging may be assessed by multi-parametric imaging alone if digital rectal examination was deferred
  • Histologic confirmation of prostate cancer is required by biopsy performed within 18 months of registration.

  • Baseline AUA symptom score ≥ 17 regardless of medical therapy
  • The serum PSA should be ≤ 20 ng/ml within 120 days of registration
  • Study entry PSA must not be obtained during the following time frames: (1) 10-day period following prostate biopsy; (2) following initiation of ADT or anti-androgen therapy; (3) within 30 days after discontinuation of finasteride; (4) within 90 days after discontinuation of dutasteride; (5) within 5 days of a digital rectal examination
  • Ultrasound or MRI based volume estimation of prostate gland < 100 grams, regardless of cytoreduction with pharmacotherapy
  • Ability to undergo general anesthesia for <60 minutes
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent.
  • All men must agree to use adequate contraception (barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry, for the duration of study participation, and for 90 days following completion of therapy.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Contraindications to UroLift System placement including:
  • Prostate volume >100 cc based on imaging-based estimation
  • Urethral conditions (e.g. urethral strictures and neoplams) that may prevent insertion of UroLift System delivery system into the bladder
  • Urinary incontinence due to incompetent sphincter
  • An active urinary tract infection
  • Current gross hematuria

In addition to the contraindications if there is a known allergy to nickel, titanium, or stainless steel these patients should be excluded

  • Prior transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), median lobe manipulation, simple prostatectomy, or other ablative procedures for benign prostatic hyperplasia.
  • Foley / self-catheterization in the last 12 months.
  • Patients with all three intermediate risk factors (PSA >10 and ≤ 20, Gleason 7, clinical stage T2b-T2c) who ALSO have ≥50% of the number of their template biopsy cores positive for cancer are ineligible.
  • Prior pelvic radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or surgery for prostate cancer.
  • Current active androgen deprivation therapy

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Safety of UroLift implant when combined with SAbR for men with prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia
Time Frame: 90 days
Analyses will be performed for all subjects having received at least one fraction of radiation therapy. The study will use CTCAE version 5.0 for reporting of adverse events and, for reporting purposes, will also capture Clavien-Dindo grading system for the classification of surgical complications for reporting adverse events related to the UroLift System procedure.
90 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Quality of Life with UroLift System
Time Frame: 90 days
AUA, EPIC-26 questionnaires and Noninvasive urodynamics will be obtained, these data will be analyzed once all patients have completed the scheduled trial visits.The aggregate score will be done for (urinary, sexual, bowel, and health-related) associated with UroLift System when administered prior to SABR.
