Condition(s) studied

Prostate Cancer

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RP)Pelvic fascia-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (PFS-RP)

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.

Inclusion Criteria: * Male sex * Age ≥40 years or ≤80 years * Scheduled for radical prostatectomy for clinically localized prostate cancer * Able to read and speak English or Spanish * Willingness to sign informed consent and adhere to the study protocol Exclusion Criteria: * Prior major pelvic surgery or radiotherapy * Suspicion of N1 disease (i.e., any lymph node greater than 1cm in maximal diameter)

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.
