EvaluatioN of HIFU Hemiablation and Short Term AndrogeN Deprivation Therapy Combination to Enhance Prostate Cancer Control.

Sponsor: Institut Mutualiste Montsouris

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The current study aims to examine the hypothesis that combining the focal effects of HIFU with the systemic effects of androgen deprivation therapy might eradicate the prostatic cancer cells by targeting the 'visible' index focus (by HIFU) and the tumour surrounding microenvironment which may contain 'invisible' foci and aberrant PCa related signalling (by androgen deprivation therapy) to enhance oncological outcomes of HIFU hemi-ablation in men with localized PCa, and consequently reducing treatment failures.

Official title: EvaluatioN of High-intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) Hemiablation and Short Term AndrogeN Deprivation Therapy Combination to Enhance Prostate Cancer Control for Intermediate Risk Localized Prostate Cancer: the ENHANCE Prospective Feasibility Trial.

Interventions

DRUG

HIFU hemi-ablation combined with ADT.

Hemi-ablation of the cancer-harbouring prostatic lobe will be carried out using HIFU energy. Short-term 3-month ADT will be administered concomitantly. Short-term ADT is administered as a single subcutaneous injection of 3-month depot of 22.5 mg of leuprolide acetate (luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone \[LHRH\] agonist). The ADT protocol starts within 1 month prior to the scheduled HIFU session
