Clinical Trial of Approaches to Prostate Cancer Surgery
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RP): The conventional approach to prostate cancer surgery
Pelvic fascia-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (PFS-RP): A novel, posterior approach to radical prostatectomy that preserves the dorsal vascular complex, nerves and fascial support structures that overlie the anterior prostate.
Study summary
This is a prospective, randomized controlled trial to compare cancer control and health-related quality of life following pelvic fascia-sparing radical prostatectomy versus standard radical prostatectomy.
The investigators hypothesize that pelvic fascia-sparing radical prostatectomy will have similar cancer control (primary outcome) and sexual function outcomes; and significantly better urinary function, penile shortening/deformity and inguinal hernia risks as compared to radical prostatectomy.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Surgical Margin Status as assessed by surgical pathology results — 1 week post-surgery
Presence of cancer cells at the prostate margin is standardized as a positive surgical margin through professional guideline consensus. - Biochemical Recurrence as assessed by Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) — 6 months post-surgery
Prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels are obtained from standard of care blood tests, and PSA values are measured in ng/mL. In accordance with National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines, investigators will capture PSA persistence as failure of PSA to fall to undetectable levels, and PSA recurrence as an undetectable PSA after surgery with a subsequent detectable PSA that increases on 2 or more determinations. - Biochemical Recurrence as assessed by Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) — 12 months post-surgery
Prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels are obtained from standard of care blood tests, and PSA values are measured in ng/mL. - Biochemical Recurrence as assessed by Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) — 24 months post-surgery
Prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels are obtained from standard of care blood tests, and PSA values are measured in ng/mL.
