PROCEPT BioRobotics Received U.S. FDA Approval to Initiate Pivotal Randomized Clinical Study for Prostate Cancer
07 Octubre 2024 - 3:04PM
PROCEPT BioRobotics® Corporation (Nasdaq: PRCT) (the “Company”), a
surgical robotics company focused on advancing patient care by
developing transformative solutions in urology, today announced the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a pivotal
Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) clinical trial comparing
Aquablation therapy to radical prostatectomy. The Company also
recently received Breakthrough Device Designation to investigate
the use of Aquablation therapy for prostate cancer. Breakthrough
Device Designation is awarded in exceptional cases, expediting the
review of novel therapies that can improve the lives of people with
life-threatening or irreversibly debilitating diseases or
conditions.
The trial, known as WATER IV PCa, is a global multicenter,
prospective, randomized clinical study assessing the safety and
efficacy of Aquablation therapy compared to radical prostatectomy
in men with Grade Group 1 to 3 localized prostate cancer. The study
will enroll up to 280 patients at up to 50 centers and follow them
for 10 years. There is a co-primary endpoint based on morbidity
evaluated at the six-month follow-up. Longer-term follow-up focuses
on both the reduction in treatment related harm and oncologic
events.
“WATER IV PCa, a unique and thoughtful trial design focusing on
harm reduction by using Aquablation as first line treatment in
comparison to radical prostatectomy, could potentially change the
way urologists treat localized prostate cancer for millions of
men,” said, Inderbir Gill, MD, founding executive director
of USC Urology, part of Keck Medicine of USC and chairman,
Catherine & Joseph Aresty Department of Urology, Keck School of
Medicine of USC. “It is exciting to see that the FDA approved an
IDE after a prompt and thorough review of the trial design, and we
look forward to seeing the results of the forthcoming trial and are
hopeful about the possibilities of this novel technology.”
“A significant opportunity exists to improve safety and quality
of life outcomes for men needing treatment for prostate cancer. We
believe Aquablation therapy has the ability to become a first line
treatment for localized prostate cancer. Initiating a randomized
trial against radical prostatectomy is the first big step in
pursuing a prostate cancer specific indication– which no other
energy-based treatment has today,” said Reza Zadno, Chief Executive
Officer of PROCEPT BioRobotics.
About Aquablation TherapyAquablation therapy is
the first and only ultrasound guided, robotic-assisted, heat-free
waterjet for the treatment of BPH. The system’s real-time
ultrasound imaging provides the surgeon with a multi-dimensional
view of the prostate enabling personalized treatment planning
tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy. The surgeon can specify
which areas of the prostate to remove while preserving the anatomy
that controls erectile function, ejaculatory function and
continence. Once the treatment plan is mapped by the surgeon, the
predictable robotic-assisted execution enables prostate tissue to
be removed in a precise, targeted, and controlled fashion.
