This Phase 2b trial investigated WST11-VTP for intermediate-risk PC and here we present 36 month follow up. METHODS: 50 men with unilateral Grade Group 2 (GG2) PC evaluated with MRI and ultrasound guided (TRUS) biopsy were treated with up to 2 sessions of unilateral VTP. Eligibility criteria included <cT2b, PSA<10, and fusion biopsy for PIRADS 3+ lesions on pretreatment MRI. Contralateral very low–risk disease (GG1) was observed. MRI and systematic, 14-core TRUS biopsy (+/- fusion) were performed 3 and 12 months after treatment, evaluating for Gleason Grade 4 or 5 (≥GG2) PC as the primary endpoint. Additional biopsies were for-cause (clinical complete response or per standard of care for active surveillance candidates). Treatment safety and patient-reported quality of life for sexual and urinary function were assessed with validated questionnaires (IIEF-15 and IPSS). RESULTS: 48 men (96%) had 36-month data for review. Prior to 12 months, 1 patient had proceeded to radical prostatectomy (treatment failure), 12 patients (24%) underwent per-protocol second hemi-ablation for GG2 found at 3-month biopsy and 1 patient died due to COVID19. 20 patients underwent a subsequent MRI and biopsy. 1 patient had in-field GG3 at 2yr biopsy and underwent cryoablation. At 34 months, two patients underwent biopsy and had GG2; one recurrence was in-field, and one was both in and out of field. Functional outcomes at 36 months post-treatment included a mean decrease in IIEF-6 scores from baseline of 2.6 (±6.3). IPSS demonstrated an average improvement of 1.1 (±4.1); all patients maintained pad-free urinary continence. Overall, 38/48 (79%) evaluable men remained free from evidence of clinical disease progression after 36 months post-treatment. CONCLUSIONS: These positive trial results show that WST11-VTP is effective for PGA of intermediate-risk PC with minimal long-term toxicity and low impact on urinary and sexual function, consistent with the Phase 3 trial results in low-risk disease. Continued follow-up to the protocol defined 5-year endpoint is pending. Based on this data, this therapy bears consideration for approval as a conservative therapeutic option for selected cases of intermediate risk disease.
