SpaceIT Hydrogel System for Perirectal Spacing
U0755 (primary)
NCI-2025-01558
Summary
To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the SpaceIT™ Hydrogel System in patients
undergoing External Beam Radiotherapy (EBRT) for the treatment of prostate cancer.
Objectives
HYDROSPACE study is a prospective, randomized, multicenter study to evaluate the safety
and effectiveness of SpaceIT in patients undergoing External Beam Radiotherapy (EBRT) for
the treatment of prostate cancer.
Subjects randomized to the investigational arm will receive SpaceIT Hydrogel System
Subjects randomized to the control arm will receive a commercially marketed Boston
Scientific perirectal hydrogel spacer, SpaceOAR System or SpaceOAR Vue Hydrogel
Eligibility
- Inclusion Criteria:
Subjects must meet the following criteria to be eligible for participation in the study:
1. Age =18 years old
2. Subjects must have had pathologically confirmed (by routine hematoxylin and eosin
[H&E] staining) invasive adenocarcinoma of the prostate and planning to undergo EBRT
3. Subjects must meet ALL of the following:
1. Clinical stage T1-T2c (AJCC Ver. 8) tumor AND
2. Gleason Score 7 or less as determined from a biopsy taken within 12 months of
the Baseline visit AND
3. Demonstrated blood prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels =20 ng/ml as measured
within 6 months of the Baseline visit and prior to commencing androgen
deprivation therapy (ADT)
4. Subject is able to provide written informed consent, approved by the appropriate
Institutional Review Board/Ethics Committee/Research Ethics Board (IRB/EC/REB) of
the respective clinical site
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Prostate > 80 cc
2. Subjects who are planning to undergo brachytherapy or focal boost
3. Subjects who have magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evidence of gross posterior
extracapsular extension (ECE) of the prostate cancer Note: MRI must be taken within
6 months prior to the Baseline visit
4. Subjects who have metastatic disease, other ongoing cancers which are being treated
during the study or subjects for whom pelvic lymph node radiotherapy is planned
5. Subjects with any prior invasive solid tumor malignancy or hematologic malignancy
(except non-melanomatous skin cancer) unless the subject has been disease free and
treatment free for a minimum of 3 years
6. History of radical prostatectomy, other ablative anti-prostate cancer therapy (e.g.,
cryotherapy, high intensity focused ultrasound, irreversible electroporation) or
previous pelvic irradiation (including prior prostate brachytherapy) at any time
prior to screening
7. History of transurethral prostate surgery (e.g., Transurethral Needle Ablation
(TUNA), Transurethral Microwave Therapy (TUMT), Transurethral Resection of the
Prostate (TURP)) if performed within 1 year prior to screening
8. History of prior pelvic surgery requiring low anterior or abdominoperineal
resections or rectal surgery
9. History of or current perirectal disease that may interfere with interpretation of
study outcomes, including anal or perianal diseases such as fistula
10. Bleeding hemorrhoids requiring medical intervention within the prior three months
11. Diagnosed active bleeding disorder or a clinically significant coagulopathy, defined
as PTT > 70s or aPTT>35s or INR > 1.4, or platelet count < 100,000 per mm3 Note:
Subjects on anticoagulants may be included if the anticoagulant medication can be
held for index procedure
12. Active inflammatory or infectious process involving the perineum, GI or urinary
tract based on positive diagnosis or suspected diagnosis in the presence of fever
>38° C, WBC > 12,000/uL
13. Inability to undergo pelvic MRI or presence of implants causing severe artifact
(e.g. bilateral arthroplasty) that interferes with imaging interpretation for this
study at Investigator discretion
14. If a subject was enrolled in another investigational drug or device trial that had
not completed the primary endpoint or that clinically interfered with this study
15. Unable to comply with the study requirements or follow-up schedule
16. Any condition the Investigator believed would interfere with the intent of the study
or would make participation not in the best interest of the patient
17. Known PEG (polyethylene glycol) sensitivity or allergy
18. Known iodine sensitivity or allergy
19. ADT, if applicable, cannot or was not started 15-60 days prior to the pre-index
procedure RT planning imaging and is planned to continue for a total planned
duration greater than 6 months

**Clinical trials are research studies that involve people. These studies test new ways to prevent, detect, diagnose, or treat diseases. People who take part in cancer clinical trials have an opportunity to contribute to scientists’ knowledge about cancer and to help in the development of improved cancer treatments. They also receive state-of-the-art care from cancer experts...
