Pivotal Study Of The NanoKnife System For The Ablation Of Prostate Tissue
Overview
Tab Title Description
Study type
InterventionalDescribes the nature of a clinical study. Types include:
- Observational study — observes people and measures outcomes without affecting results.
- Interventional study (clinical trial) — studies new tests, treatments, drugs, surgical procedures or devices.
- Medical records research — uses historical information collected from medical records of large groups of people to study how diseases progress and which treatments and surgeries work best.

About this study
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of the NanoKnife treatment in prostate cancer tissue when used in a low and intermediate risk patient population.
Participation eligibility
Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Is ≥ 50 years of age.
- Has at least a 10-year life expectancy.
- Has histologically confirmed organ-confined prostate cancer, clinical stage ≤ T2c.
- Has a PSA ≤ 15 ng/mL or PSA density < 0.15 ng/mL2 if PSA is > 15 ng/mL.
- Has Gleason score 3+4 or 4+3.
- Has no evidence of extraprostatic extension by mpMRI.
- Has no evidence of seminal vesicle invasion by mpMRI, and if suspected, confirmed by biopsy.
- Physician is able to visualize prostate gland adequately on transrectal ultrasound imaging during enrollment evaluation.
- Transperineal or transrectal targeted prostate biopsies of lesion, plus 10-14 core systematic biopsies to include adequate sampling of the peripheral zone correlating with an intermediate risk lesion* in the area of the MR-visible lesion.
- A visible lesion on mpMRI that is accessible to Irreversible Electroporation (IRE) treatment.
- Note: If prostate cancer is detected via systematic standard biopsy outside of the MRI visible lesion it will not be considered an exclusion criterion provided the positive core is singularly located in the contralateral hemisphere of the prostate; is Gleason 6; and comprises no more than 6 mm linear extent of neoplasia in a single core on standard biopsy.
- Has signed a written informed consent and in the judgment of the physician, the study is in the best interest of the subject.
- Understands and accepts the obligation and is logistically able to present for all scheduled follow-up visits.
*An intermediate risk lesion is defined as Gleason score 3+4 or 4+3, PSA < 15 ng/mL or PSA density < 0.15 ng/mL2 if PSA is > 15 ng/mL, and ≤ clinical stage T2c.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Has known hypersensitivity to pancuronium bromide, atricurium or cisatricurium.
- Is unfit for anesthesia or has a contraindication for agents listed for paralysis.
- Has an active urinary tract infection (UTI).
- Has a history of bladder neck contracture.
- Is interested in future fertility.
- Has a history (within 3 years) of inflammatory bowel disease.
- Has a concurrent major debilitating illness.
- Had active treatment for a malignancy within 3 years, including malignant melanoma, except for prostate cancer or other types of skin cancer.
- Has any active implanted electronic device (e.g., pacemaker).
- Is unable or unwilling to catheterize.
- Has had prior or current prostate cancer therapies:
- Biologic therapy for prostate cancer;
- Chemotherapy for prostate cancer;
- Hormonal therapy for prostate cancer within three months of procedure;
- Radiotherapy for prostate cancer;
- Surgery for prostate cancer.
- Has had prior transurethral prostatectomy (TURP), stricture surgery, urethral stent or prostatic implants.
- Has had prior major rectal surgery (except hemorrhoids).
- Is unfit for pelvic MRI scanning (e.g., severe claustrophobia, permanent cardiac pacemaker, metallic implants that are likely to contribute significant image artifacts, allergy or contraindication to gadolinium (to enhance MRI)).
- Is actively bleeding, is anticoagulated or on blood thinning medications, or has a bleeding disorder.
- Is a member of a vulnerable population such as prisoners, handicapped or mentally disabled persons, or economically or educationally disadvantaged persons.
- In the opinion of the treating physician, has a contraindication listed in the current NanoKnife System User Manual.
