Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- Any prior or current local or systemic treatment for prostate cancer, including but not limited to surgery, radiation therapy (external or brachytherapy), tissue ablation, hormone therapy or chemotherapy.
- Patients with previous surgical or minimally invasive treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia within the prior 3 months of study treatment.
Other illness
- Any condition or history of illness or surgery that may pose an additional risk to patients undergoing the Aquablation or radical prostatectomy procedure such as:
- 5a. Medical conditions that preclude the use of anesthesia; 5b. Any condition or history of active rectal inflammatory bowel disease or other factors which might increase the risk of rectal injury (i.e. fistula formation); 5c. Patient is unable to stop anticoagulants or antiplatelet agents prior to study treatment per standard of care; 5d. Any other condition or history of infection, illness or surgery that in the opinion of the investigator might affect the outcome of the study procedure, study conduct, and study results; or pose additional risks to the patient (e.g., other cancer, active urethral stricture disease).
- 6\. Patients who are unable to provide informed consent due to cognitive impairment, legal status (such as incarceration), or other factors limiting autonomy or unwilling or unable to follow study instructions including randomization and complete all required study visits through 10 years. This includes individuals with severe cognitive disabilities, those under legal guardianship, or those currently incarcerated.
- 7\. Patient currently participating in other studies unless approved by Sponsor in writing.
- 8\. More than one complete biopsy beyond the diagnostic biopsy comprising both a systematic biopsy and biopsy of any MRI visible lesion (PI-RADS/Likert ≥ 3).
- 9\. GG2 disease with PSA ≥ 10 OR stage ≥ T2b OR ≥ 50% of biopsy cores positive (multiple cores taken from any MRI visible lesion are counted as one continuous core).
Other
- Evidence of lymph node, bone metastasis, extracapsular extension or seminal vesicle invasion.
- Patient is unwilling to accept a blood transfusion if required.
