WATER IV Prostate Cancer
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Aquablation Therapy: The AquaBeam Robotic System and the HYDROS Robotic System utilize high-velocity sterile saline waterjet to resect prostate tissue, guided by real-time visualization through cystoscopy and transrectal ultrasound imaging. This minimally invasive surgical procedure is called the Aquablation therapy.
Radical Prostatectomy: Radical prostatectomy is a surgery that is performed through an incision in the lower abdomen or perineum, or with a laparoscope or robotic system to remove the entire prostate gland.
Study summary
This is a multicenter, prospective, randomized clinical trial that aims to assess the safety and efficacy of Aquablation Therapy in men with low-risk to intermediate to high-risk localized prostate cancer who are candidates for, or have opted for, prostatectomy. Participants will be randomized to either Aquablation Therapy or radical prostatectomy and followed up to 10 years.
