Study of Erectile Dysfunction, Urinary Incontinence and Related QoL After TOOKAD® VTP for Low Risk Prostate Cancer
Study of Erectile Dysfunction, Urinary Incontinence and Related QoL After TOOKAD® VTP for Low Risk Prostate Cancer
Multiple center, single-arm, open-label, 12-month follow-up phase IV pragmatic clinical trial
 in men with unilateral prostate cancer meeting eligibility criteria for the drug (as per the
 European Economic Area (EEA) Marketing Authorisation) to assess the occurrence and dynamics
 of the time with toxicities (urinary incontinence Grade 2 and over and/or erectile
 dysfunction Grade 2 and over) in patients 12 months following TOOKAD® VTP.
This is a multiple center, single-arm, open-label, 12-month follow-up phase IV pragmatic
 clinical trial. Men with unilateral prostate cancer meeting eligibility criteria for the drug
 (as per the EEA Marketing Authorisation) will receive TOOKAD® VTP under general anesthesia.
 The primary objective is to assess the occurrence and dynamics of the time with toxicities
 (urinary incontinence Grade 2 and over and/or erectile dysfunction Grade 2 and over) in
 patients 12 months following TOOKAD® VTP. Prior to the TOOKAD® VTP, patients will undergo
 routine ultrasound examination in the operating room for morphometric description of the
 prostate and to facilitate accurate treatment guidance for the treatment with TOOKAD® VTP.
 Treatment will then be applied to the prostate gland as a hemi-ablation procedure designed to
 destroy the lobe of the prostate gland that contains the cancer. Afterwards, patients will be
 followed for 12 months with clinical evaluation, data collection on erectile and urinary
 functions at 1, 2, 3 6 and 12 months, using the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite
 (EPIC), International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) and International Prostate Score
 Symptom (IPSS) questionnaires on Quality Of Life (QOL) and Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA)
 testing at 3, 6 and 12 months.

 The clinical follow-up of patients will follow local standard of care processes, based on
 recommendations in the European Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC).

 This study is a phase IV pragmatic trial using optimal dose of TOOKAD® and optimal
 light-energy level conditions that were determined during development and approved by the
 European Commission.
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  Men over 18 years of age with a life expectancy ≥ 10 years

 -.Unilateral adenocarcinoma of the prostate accurately located and confirmed as
 unilateral using high resolution biopsy strategies based on current best practice,
 such as multi- parametric MRI based strategies or template-based biopsy procedures.

 -  Clinical stage T1c or T2a,

 -  Gleason Score ≤ 6, based on high-resolution biopsy strategies

 -  3 positive cancer cores with a maximum cancer core length of 5 mm in any one core or 1
 -2 positive cancer cores with ≥ 50 % cancer involvement in any one core or a PSA
 density ≥ 0.15 ng/mL/cm3.

 -  PSA ≤ 10 ng/mL

 -  If the patient is sexually active with women who are capable of getting pregnant, he
 and/or his partner should use an effective form of birth control to prevent getting
 pregnant during a period of 90 days after the VTP procedure.

 -  Signed Informed Consent Form

 Exclusion Criteria:

 GENERAL EXCLUSION CRITERIA :

 -  Unwillingness to accept the treatment;

 -  Any previous prostatic interventions where the internal urinary sphincter may have
 been damaged, including trans-urethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for benign
 prostatic hypertrophy.

 -  Participation in another clinical study involving an investigational product within 1
 month before study entry;

 -  Inability to understand the informed consent document, to give consent voluntarily or
 to complete the study tasks, especially inability to understand and fulfill the
 health-related QOL questionnaire;

 -  Subjects in custody and or residing in a nursing home or rehabilitation facility;

 -  Biopsy proven locally advanced or metastatic prostate cancer.

 SURGERY AND OTHER TREATMENT-RELATED CONDITIONS OF EXCLUSION

 -  Any condition or history of illness or surgery that in the opinion of the investigator
 might affect the conduct and results of the study or pose additional risks to the
 subject or any medical condition that precludes the administration of a general
 anaesthetic or invasive procedures.

 -  Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to the excipient (mannitol)

 -  Current or prior treatment for prostate cancer.

 -  Patients who have been diagnosed with cholestasis.

 -  Current exacerbation of rectal inflammatory bowel disease.

 -  Anticoagulant medicinal products and those that decrease platelet aggregation (e.g.
 acetylsalicylic acid) should be stopped at least 10 days before the procedure with
 TOOKAD. Medicinal products that prevent or reduce platelet aggregation should not be
 started for at least 3 days after the procedure.
