Study population: prostate cancer patients treated by radiotherapy and prophetically by SpaceOAR™

Who may be able to join

  • Patient is suffering from pathologically confirmed T1-T2, N0, M0 prostate adenocarcinoma.
  • Patient is intended to receive radiation therapy (3D-computerized radiotherapy, intensity-modulated radiotherapy, and/or brachytherapy) and this will be the first prostate or pelvic radiation therapy.
  • Patient is intended to receive SpaceOAR™ Gel therapy.
  • The patient is official patient of the clinical investigator in the study centre.
  • Patient agrees to fully participate in the clinical trial and give informed consent in writing.

Who cannot join

  • Anatomic abnormality, physical or pathological condition precluding the implantation.
  • Failure in the wall of the perineum room (with the risk that the hydrogel escapes).
  • History of prostate surgery or local prostate cancer therapy.

About this study

Official title: Prospective National Post-marketing Surveillance for the Investigation of the Efficacy and Safety of SpaceOAR™ to Maintain Space Between the Rectum and Prostate During Radiation Therapy

Read the detailed description

The degradable SpaceOAR™ hydrogel establishes for the time of radiotherapy a distance between the prostate and the rectum

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. the rectal complication rate (late toxicity)

    the rectal complication rate following the common toxicity criteria (CTC) v. 2.0

    Measured: 6 months and yearly for 5 years thereafter

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Quality of Life

    The validated Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC) questionnaire in combination with the validated Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) will be used to document the influence on the quality of life (QoL).

    Measured: 6 months and for 5 years yearly thereafter

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prostate Cancer Patients Treated by Radiotherapy, run by CS Diagnostics GmbH at 1 site in Germany.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jul 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: PI did leave hospital (retired)). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the rectal complication rate (late toxicity) (time frame: 6 months and yearly for 5 years thereafter). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Jul 2021.
