Phase II Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Prostatic Artery Embolization
Sponsor: H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute
Summary
This is a Phase II prospective clinical trial in which patients with prostate carcinoma and obstructive lower urinary tract symptoms electing for radiation therapy will undergo Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE) prior to treatment. PAE will be administered by Interventional Radiology. Patients will be seen for follow-up at 6 weeks and 12 weeks following PAE after which they will start definitive radiotherapy. After completion of radiotherapy the patient will be seen at 12 weeks

Interventions
Merit Medical Embospheres
Prostatic Artery Embolization will performed as an outpatient procedure in Interventional Radiology. Bilateral selective pelvic angiograms will be performed to localize the prostatic arteries. Cone-beam or 3D computed tomography (CT) will be performed prior to embolization, if technically feasible and necessary. Embolization will be performed using Merit Medical Embospheres.
Radiation Therapy
Patients will undergo standard of care definitive radiation therapy.
