Study summary

The aims of this study are:

  • to assess the impact of TOOKAD® Soluble-Vascular Targeted Photodynamic Therapy (VTP) on the rate of absence of definite cancer using patients on active surveillance as a comparison (co-primary objective A) and
  • to determine the difference in rate of treatment failure associated with observed progression of disease from low risk prostate cancer to moderate or higher risk prostate cancer in men who undergo TOOKAD® Soluble-VTP compared to men on active surveillance (co-primary objective B).
Read the detailed description

This is a Phase 3, multicentre, open label, randomised controlled study in subjects diagnosed with low risk prostate cancer on TransRectal Ultrasound (TRUS) guided biopsy.

Subjects will be randomised to either Active Surveillance or TOOKAD® Soluble VTP. Subjects will remain in the study for approximately 24 months following randomisation. A total of 400 subjects will be entered into the study; 200 will receive Active Surveillance and 200 will receive TOOKAD® Soluble-VTP.

Inclusion criteria

Subjects will be eligible for inclusion in the study if all of the following criteria are met:

  1. Low risk prostate cancer diagnosed using one transrectal ultrasound guided (TRUS)using from 10 to 24 cores performed less than 12 months prior to enrolment, and showing the following:

    • Gleason 3 + 3 prostate adenocarcinoma as a maximum,
    • Two (2) to three (3) cores positive for cancer
    • A maximum cancer core length of 5 mm in any core.
  2. Cancer clinical stage up to T2a (pathological or radiological up to T2c disease permitted)
  3. Serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) of 10 ng/mL or less
  4. Prostate volume equal or greater than 25 cc and less than 70 cc.
  5. Male subjects aged 18 years or older.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

Subjects will not be eligible for the study if meeting any of the following criteria:

  1. Unwillingness to accept randomisation to either of the two arms of the study
  2. Any prior or current treatment for prostate cancer, including surgery, radiation therapy (external or brachytherapy) or chemotherapy.
  3. Any surgical intervention for benign prostatic hypertrophy
  4. less than 10 years.
  5. Any condition or history of illness or surgery that may pose an additional risk to men undergoing the VTP procedure.
  6. Participation in another clinical study or recipient of an product within 1 month of study entry.
  7. Subject unable to understand the patient's information document, to give consent or complete the study tasks.
  8. Subject in custody and or in residence in a nursing home or rehabilitation facility
  9. to Magnetic resonance Imaging (MRI) (e.g., pacemaker, history of allergic reaction to gadolinium), or factors excluding accurate reading of pelvic MRI (e.g., hip prosthesis)
  10. Any condition or history of illness or surgery that may pose an additional risk to men undergoing the TOOKAD® Soluble VTP procedure.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.

Life expectancy

The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    TOOKAD® Soluble

    TOOKAD® Soluble, lyophilized formulation, given at a dose of 4mg/Kg.

    Drug: TOOKAD® Soluble

  • No intervention
    Active Surveillance

    Active surveillance is one of the management strategy in men who have low-risk prostate cancer

Interventions

  • TOOKAD® Soluble-VTP procedure will consist of an IntraVenous (IV) administration to patients using a 753nm laser light at a fixed power of 150mW/cm and a fixed energy at 200J/cm delivered through transperineal interstitial optical fibers. The needles are positioned in the prostate under ultra sound image guidance

    Also known as: WST11

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Co-primary endpoint 'A': Rate of absence of definite cancer using patients on active surveillance as a comparison.

    Histological changes are assessed using biopsies or any other pathology result obtained during the study planned or not.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jul 11, 2019, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
