Study summary

This is an open observational extended follow-up study of patients originally randomized into TOOKAD® Soluble VTP therapy or active surveillance (control group). Additional 60-month follow-up study

Read the detailed description

This is an open observational extended follow-up study of patients originally randomized into TOOKAD® Soluble VTP therapy or active surveillance (control group). No intervention or further intervention with TOOKAD® Soluble is mandated in this additional 60-month follow-up study where patients in the original TOOKAD® Soluble group and active surveillance (control) group are both managed by their physician as appropriate to their condition using any treatment available following a 'local standard of care' principle from the end of the trial (M24) up to the end of follow-up (M84). Management decisions are entirely left to clinicians and their patients in this pragmatic extension of the trial (no criteria imposed) where standard of care that reflects clinical practice within each centre is applied.

All patients originally randomised in study CLIN1001 PCM301, whether allocated to the TOOKAD® Soluble VTP arm (n=206) or Active surveillance arm (n=207 and who did not withdraw their consent will be included in this extension study.

This extension study consists of 2 different follow-up:

  • a follow-up of patients via investigators
  • and a follow-up via interviews directly with patients

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • All subjects originally randomized in study CLIN1001 PCM301 are included in this follow-up study. As a reminder, they all met the following criteria at entry (from the original protocol):

    1. Low risk prostate cancer diagnosed using one trans-rectal ultrasound guided (TRUS) using from 10 to 24 cores, within 12 months of enrolment and showing the following:

      • Gleason 3 + 3 prostate adenocarcinoma as a maximum,
      • Two (2) to three (3) cores positive for cancer. Patients with only one positive core can be included provided they have at least 3 mm of cancer core length.
      • 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:

  • As a reminder, all subjects originally randomized did not met the following criteria at entry (from the original protocol):

    1. Unwillingness to accept randomization 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. Subject in custody and or in residence in a nursing home or rehabilitation facility.
    8. to MRI (e.g., pacemaker, history of allergic reaction to gadolinium), or factors excluding accurate reading of pelvic MRI (e.g., hip prosthesis).
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.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Mar 2016 to primary completion in Jun 2020, 50 months.

Of 541 non-industry observational studies under Prostatic Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 67 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 29 and three quarters within 162. This study's 50 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 650 studies reached it within 60 months; a quarter within 29 and three quarters within 141.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

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 Mar 22, 2021, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
