Phase II Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Prostatic Artery Embolization

Phase II Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Prostatic Artery Embolization in Patients With Localized Prostate Carcinoma and Obstructive Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 30 Jul 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This is a Phase II prospective clinical trial in which patients with prostate carcinoma and obstructive lower urinary tract symptoms electing for radiation therapy will undergo Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE) prior to treatment. PAE will be administered by Interventional Radiology. Patients will be seen for follow-up at 6 weeks and 12 weeks following PAE after which they will start definitive radiotherapy. After completion of radiotherapy the patient will be seen at 12 weeks

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Receiving androgen deprivation therapy (ADT)
  • Receiving any investigational agents for the explicit purpose of prostatic size reduction
  • Inability to receive prostatic artery embolization (PAE) within 6-12 weeks of definitive radiation therapy
  • History of severe allergic reaction to intravenous contrast media (iodinated and gadolinium- based) or any agents used during the PAE; patient cannot be medicated against allergic reaction prior to PAE.
  • Prior transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) within 2 years

Other illness

  • Patients with Gleason Grade Group 1 or 2 PCa who select active surveillance as their cancer management method.
  • Active urinary tract infection (UTI)

Other

  • Patients with unfavorable intermediate (Gleason Grade Group 3) or high risk localized PCa (Gleason Grade Groups 4 and 5)
  • Active cystolithiasis or prostatitis
  • Inability to have multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI)
  • Prostate size greater than or equal to150 grams
  • Vulnerable subjects (e.g., inmates and developmentally delayed adults) who are subjects for whom the study may be unsafe or whose rights may be violated with enrollment.

Who the study is looking for

  • Histologically or cytologically confirmed prostate adenocarcinoma in the very low or low or favorable intermediate risk risk stratification groups (i.e. Gleason Grade groups 1 and 2) who are eligible for and who select XRT as their cancer management method.
  • Ability to receive prostatic artery embolization within 6-12 weeks of definitive radiation therapy.
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document
  • Prostate larger than 60 grams but less than 150 grams, as assessed by imaging scans
  • American Urologic Association (AUA) or International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) Score ≥ 15
