What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

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

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

Men with low to intermediate-risk prostate cancer who choose radiation therapy and have a prostate size between 60-150 grams. They must understand the study and consent to participate, have normal organ function, an AUA or IPSS Score of 15 or more, and be able to undergo PAE within 6-12 weeks before radiotherapy.

Inclusion Criteria

I can undergo a procedure to block blood flow to my prostate within 6-12 weeks after my radiation therapy.

You have a high score on the AUA or IPSS test measuring urinary symptoms.

My organ and bone marrow functions are normal.

Exclusion Criteria

Inability to have multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI)

I am currently on hormone therapy for my cancer.

I have low-grade prostate cancer and chose to monitor it rather than treat it immediately.

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

• Prostatic Artery Embolization

Trial Overview The trial is testing if Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE) performed prior to radiation therapy can improve outcomes for patients with prostate cancer.
