Prostate Cancer Trial, Recruiting

Written by an AI model from ClinicalTrials.gov eligibility criteria and checked on a sample basis. Please confirm against the original criteria.

Who might be able to join this trial:

• People who were assigned male at birth and are 18 years of age or older.
• People who are able to understand the study information and sign a written consent form.
• People who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer confirmed through a specific type of biopsy procedure, where tissue samples were taken both randomly across the prostate and from targeted areas using MRI imaging — and that biopsy must have been done within the past year.
• People who have decided to have focal therapy (a treatment that targets only part of the prostate) and have a procedure scheduled within 6 months of joining the study.
• People whose prostate cancer has been confirmed as non-metastatic (has not spread to other parts of the body) through recent scans such as a CT scan, bone scan, or PSMA-PET scan taken within the past 6 months — this applies particularly to those with intermediate or high-risk prostate cancer.
• People whose general health and physical functioning meets a minimum level as assessed by a standard medical scoring system (confirm with trial site for specific score thresholds).
• People who are considered medically suitable to undergo general anaesthesia and the focal therapy procedure, including being able to tolerate the required body positioning during surgery, as determined by the treating doctor.

Who may not be able to join:

• People who have received prostate cancer treatments — such as chemotherapy, hormone therapy, radiation, biological therapy, or surgery — within the past 12 months. (Note: People who received radiation or hormone therapy more than 12 months before a recurrence diagnosis may still be considered eligible — confirm with trial site.)
• People whose prostate cancer has spread locally beyond the prostate, to nearby lymph nodes, or to other parts of the body.
• People who are unable to have a pelvic MRI scan, for example due to severe claustrophobia, a permanent cardiac pacemaker, certain metal implants in the body, or an allergy or medical reason preventing the use of the contrast dye used in MRI.
• People who have a serious or uncontrolled ongoing illness that is significantly affecting their health.
• People whom the treating doctor considers unsuitable for the study, or who are unlikely to be able to follow the study requirements.

Important: Always verify eligibility with the trial site directly before applying.
