Transurethral Periprostatectomy Treatment of Cancerous Prostate Tissue (PERI III)

April 24, 2026 updated by: Francis Medical Inc.

Transurethral Periprostatectomy Treatment of Cancerous Prostate Tissue (Peri III Study)

This goal of this clinical trial is to determine if the Vanquish System can safely and effectively treat cancerous tissue in the prostate. Researchers will also determine the best treatment dose, monitor safety during and immediately after the procedure, and examine prostate tissue after surgical removal to confirm how well the treatment destroyed targeted tissue. Patients enrolled have been diagnosed with prostate cancer and will undergo treatment with the Vanquish System before their scheduled radical prostatectomy.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Lesion Characterization by Location and Thermal Damage
Time Frame: Evaluated immediately post procedure.
The primary efficacy endpoint is a lesion characterization from the Peri III Study vapor treatment as evaluated by TTC stain. Immediately following treatment and surgical extirpation, the prostate was examined for any external thermal injury followed by whole mount sectioning and staining using tetrazolium chloride (TTC). The whole mount sections were photographed before and after TTC staining. The sections and photographs were examined for ablation within all anatomic regions of the prostate and the ability to ablate to different regions and zones of the prostate.
Evaluated immediately post procedure.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Adequacy Scale to Measure Visualization During Procedure
Time Frame: From the beginning to the end of the treatment procedure.
Visualization during the procedure is important to ensure proper placement of the needle. Ultrasound was evaluated for visualization and graded by operator. Visualization adequacy was assessed in real time by the physician using a categorical scale (adequate/somewhat adequate/inadequate), based on subjective evaluation of target and instrument visibility on the ultrasound image.
From the beginning to the end of the treatment procedure.
Safety Measurements
Time Frame: Through 30 days following procedure.
Any procedure-related AEs were collected and reported through 30 days.
Through 30 days following procedure.
