Alpha Radiation Emitters Device (DaRT) for the Treatment of Non-Metastatic Locally Recurrent Prostate Cancer.

A Feasibility and Safety Study of Focal Interstitial Radiotherapy Using Diffusing Alpha Emitters Radiation Therapy (DaRT) Seeds in Men With Non-metastatic Locally Recurrent Prostate Cancer.

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.

Study Overview

• Status: Recruiting
• Conditions: Non-metastatic Prostate Cancer; Locally Recurrent Prostate Cancer
• Intervention / Treatment: Device: Experimental: DaRT seeds

Detailed Description

This study is a prospective multicenter, single arm, open label , interventional clinical study to assess the feasibility and safety of intratumoral Alpha DaRT seeds for the treatment of men with non metastatic locally recurrent prostate cancer.

Diffusing Alpha emitters Radiation Therapy (DaRT). Treatment will be delivered through radioactive sources [Ra-224 containing Stainless steel 316LVM tubes- (Alpha DaRT seeds)] inserted into the tumors.

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. The secondary objectives is 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.

Participation Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

• Ages Eligible for Study: Adult; Older Adult
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers: No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

• Histologically confirmed locally recurrent prostate adenocarcinoma cancer confined to at least 1 hemi-gland with concordant pathology and imaging findings within 6 months prior to consenting
• Targetable lesion by either PSMA PET-CT according to PERCIST v1.0 or by multiparametric MRI according RECIST v1.1
• Patient being considered for focal salvage brachytherapy
• Lesion size ≤ 3 cm in the longest diameter
• Target lesion technically amenable for full tumor coverage with the Alpha DaRT seeds

• Age ≥ 18 years old
• ECOG Performance Status Scale ≤ 2
• Subjects' life expectancy is more than 6 months
• Negative metastatic workup on at least standard imaging (CT CAP and bone scan). Other metastatic screening studies allowed in lieu of standard imaging including multiparametric MRI prostate/whole body, PSMA PET, F18 PET or Axumin PET within 3 months before visit 0
• Platelet count ≥100,000/mm3
• Subjects are willing and able to sign an informed consent form.

Exclusion Criteria:

• High probability of protocol non-compliance (in opinion of investigator)
• Subjects not willing to sign an informed consent
• Patients with significant comorbidities that the treating physician deems may conflict with the endpoints of the study (e.g., poorly controlled autoimmune diseases, vasculitis, etc.)
