Purpose
The rationale for the study is to obtain safety data as well as to establish dose parameters
for the SpectraCure P18 System with IDOSE®, with verteporfin for injection (VFI) as
photosensitizer for the treatment of recurrent prostate cancer.
Detailed Description
In 2011, more than 200,000 men in North America alone were diagnosed with cancer of the
prostate, which makes it one of the most common cancer types. It affects the lives of the
subjects in many ways.
After treatment the subjects PSA levels are being closely monitored to detect potential
recurrence. A high number of subjects will get recurrent prostate cancer. The treatment
options for recurrent cancer are more limited than for primary tumors as secondary treatment
partly depends on which treatment the subject has previously undergone.
Treatment of recurrent prostate cancer may, depending on the standard treatment of the
primary disease, include the following:
Radiation therapy.
- Prostatectomy for subjects initially treated with radiation therapy.
- Hormone therapy.
- Pain medication, external radiation therapy, internal radiation therapy with
radioisotopes such as strontium-89, or other treatments as palliative therapy to lessen
bone pain.
The objectives of this study is to demonstrate that the use of the SpectraCure P18 System
(Interstitial multiple diode lasers and IDOSE® Software) and verteporfin for injection (VFI)
is a safe treatment for recurrent prostate cancer.
Trial Arms
Name | Type | Description | Interventions |
---|
PDT and verteporfin dose finding | Experimental | Verteporfin and Interstitial Photodynamic Therapy are the interventions in this dose titration study.
The interventions will be light dose (as laser) using the SpectraCure P18 System and drug intervention with verteporfin as a photosensitizer.
The study will be conducted as a dose titration study to determine the light and drug threshold dose using the SpectraCure P18 System (Interstitial multiple diode lasers and IDOSE® Software) and verteporfin for injection (VFI).
The light is delivered to the tumor via optical fibers and each dose arm will receive Interventional Photodynamic Therapy of Prostate Cancer combined with the drug verteporfin as a photosensitizer . | |
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
1. Males > 18 years who have gone through external or internal, high dose rate (brachy)
radiation therapy for localized prostate cancer with histopathologically verified
local recurrence.
2. Prostate volume less than 50 cm3 defined by transrectal ultrasound
3. Subject not eligible for surgery or curative radiotherapy
4. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1
5. Expected survival ≥ 8 months
6. Sufficient bone marrow reserve as indicated by; granulocyte count ≥ 1500/mm3, platelet
count ≥ 100,000/mm3
7. Adequate renal function as defined by creatinine ≤ 1.5 mg /dl

glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase (SGOT) ≤ 3 times the upper limit of normal, and
alanine transaminase (ALT) ≤ 3 times the upper limit of normal
9. Signed Informed Consent
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Patients with locally advanced (AJCC 7th edition T3/T4) or metastatic disease

3. Gleason score ≥ 8 at initial diagnosis
4. Less than 1 week since surgery (excluding minimal procedures, e.g. vascular access
device insertion)
5. Concomitant infection
6. Subjects with other severe concurrent disease that in the judgement of the
investigator would make the subject inappropriate for entry into this study
7. Mental incapacity or psychiatric illness that would interfere with the subject's
ability to understand and give informed consent or to complete follow-up visits
according to the judgement of the investigator
8. Contraindication for photosensitizer
9. Porphyria or other diseases exacerbated by light
10. Known hypersensitivity to verteporfin for injection (VFI) or to any of the excipients
11. Known allergies to porphyrins
12. Tumours known to be eroding into a major blood vessel in or adjacent to the
illumination site
13. On-going therapy with a photosensitizing agent
14. Enrolment in another therapeutic clinical study within 3 months prior to randomization
and throughout the study.
15. Subjects with a history of CTCAE v4 grade 3 or greater or persistent (>1 separate
episode or symptoms lasting more than 3 months after initiation of medical
intervention) grade 2 proctitis attributed to radiation.
