Brief Summary
The study is a prospective, single-arm, non-randomized, unblinded trial to determine the safety and efficacy of MRI guided focal laser ablation of localized low and intermediate risk prostate cancer. All subjects meeting the inclusion exclusion criteria and are enrolled will undergo a MRI guided focal laser ablation procedure. The primary aim of the study is to study the safety and efficacy of the procedure.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (4)
Number of Recurrences of Prostate Cancer at the End of 1 Year Among the Subjects Treated With MRI Guided Focal Laser Interstitial Thermal Ablation
Efficacy is assessed by recurrence rate at 1 year, defined as the number of recurrences divided by the number of patients treated with MRI Guided Focal Laser Interstitial Thermal Ablation
Up to 12 months
Percentage of Grade 3 or Higher Complications as Defined as National Cancer Institute's Common Toxicity Criteria Version 4 Among the Subjects Treated With MRI Guided Focal Laser Interstitial Thermal Ablation
Safety is assessed by percentage of grade 3 or higher complications or adverse events (AE) as defined as National cancer institute's common toxicity criteria version 4: incontinence or urinary retention necessitating surgical intervention or new-onset erectile dysfunction not responsive to medication.Grade refers to the severity of the AE. Grade 1 Mild; asymptomatic or mild symptoms; clinical or diagnostic observations only; intervention not indicated.Grade 2 Moderate; minimal, local or non invasive intervention indicated; limiting age appropriate instrumental ADL. Grade 3 Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self care ADL. Grade 4 Life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated. Grade 5 Death related to AE.
Up to 24 months
Number of Subjects Experienced Change in Erectile Function
Change in erectile function is assessed using Sexual Health Inventory For Men (SHIM) for erectile function. There are 5 questions and each question has 5 possible responses. If the patient's score is 21 or less, erectile dysfunction (ED) is present.
3 weeks follow up
Number of Subjects Experienced Change in Urinary Function
Urinary function will be assessed using International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) assessment for urinary function. The International Prostate Symptom Score (I-PSS) is based on the answers to seven questions (maximum score 35) concerning urinary symptoms and one question concerning quality of life. Any score \> 1 indicates presence of urinary dysfunction, higher score indicates increased severity.
3 weeks follow up
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Number of Recurrences of Prostate Cancer at the End of 2nd Year Among the Subjects Treated With MRI Guided Focal Laser Interstitial Thermal Ablation
Up to 24 months
Study Arms (1)
MRI-guided focal laser ablation
EXPERIMENTALSubjects will undergo MRI Guided Focal Laser Interstitial Thermal Ablation of localized low and intermediate risk prostate cancer.
Interventions
The procedure is done under general anesthesia. Laser fiber placement will be performed by one of two approaches (Trans gluteal or trans rectal) based on the target location within the prostate gland. When the needle position is deemed satisfactory, a 1.5-cm-active tip diode laser fiber will be introduced within an internally cooled catheter through the introducing sheath. The catheter tip location will be confirmed on Turbo Spin-Echo (TSE) T2-weighted images in the axial and sagittal oblique planes.The introducer sheath will be withdrawn to allow contact of the active laser tip with the lesion. A laser test dose will be done at 9 Watts for about 30 seconds to confirm the site of fiber placement with the subsequent delivery of full dose ablation at 12-27 Watts. Ablation duration is determined based on real time feedback of response using real time temperature and damage estimate maps.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Age ≥18 years
- Patients with primary organ confined prostate cancer (≤T2c) and Gleason score ≤4+3=7
- Lesions visible on multiparametric MRI and subsequently diagnosed by targeted MRI guided biopsy
You may not qualify if:
- Multifocal intra-prostatic disease, defined as the presence the presence of ≥ 3 non- contiguous pathologically proven foci of cancer.
- Gleason score \>4+3=7.
- Extracapsular spread.
- Nodal or distant metastasis
- Contraindications to MRI or general anesthesia.
- Uncorrectable Coagulopathy.
- Refusal of participation.
- Lesions not visualized on the multiparametric MRI
