Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- Serious medical illness, including any of the following: uncontrolled congestive heart failure, uncontrolled angina, myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular event within 6 months prior to the screening visit
Other illness
- Past medical history of prostate surgery
- Past medical history of radiotherapy or pelvic trauma
- Past medical history of acute prostatitis
- Past medical history of cancer in the 5 previous years, excluding a non-metastatic basal cell carcinoma of the skin
- Extracapsular cancer extension or seminal vesicles or pelvic lymph node invasion suspected on prostate MRI
- Presence of two or more clinically significant cancer foci in the inclusion biopsy exam
- Presence of a clinically significant cancer with a Gleason score ≥8 (Grade Group ≥4)
- Distance between the cancer focus and the apex \<5 mm on the prostate MRI
- Distance between the cancer focus and the rectum \<5 mm on the prostate MRI
Other
- Presently taking hormonal manipulation or androgen supplements.
- Severe BPH-related urinary tract symptoms, defined by an IPSS score \>18
- Contraindications for MRI exam
- Tumor largest axis \>15 mm on the prostate MRI
- Patient already participating in an interventional clinical trial
- Patient protected by law
Who the study is looking for
- Patient aged from 45 to 80 years old
- Life expectancy \>10 years at the inclusion time
- Patient diagnosed with an intermediate-risk prostate cancer, defined by:
- A T1c or T2a clinical stage
- A unique cancer focus of Gleason (3+4) (Grade Group 2). In addition to the index lesion intended for treatment, the presence of additional microfoci \< 10mm on mpMRI, for which biopsies present no evidence of cancer or a Gleason score of 3+3, is accepted
- A PSA level \<20 ng/mL
- Cancer focus identified on a multiparametric MRI of the prostate no more than 3 months before inclusion
- Confirmation of the suspicion of cancer identified on the MRI with transrectal or transperineal targeted and systematic biopsies performed with the KOELIS TRINITY system (no more than 3 months before inclusion)
- Patient suitable for IV sedation or general anesthesia and focal microwave ablation
- No debilitating medical or psychiatric illness that would preclude giving informed consent or receiving optimal treatment and follow-up
- Known coagulopathy or bleeding disorders are controlled
- Free, informed and written consent, dated and signed before the enrollment and before any exam required by the trial
- Patient affiliated to social security regimen or beneficiary of such regimen for local regions
