However no prospective comparative data has been published. METHODS: HIFI trial (NCT 04307056) is a non-inferiority, prospective, non-randomized, nationwide study performed in 46 French centers comparing HIFU vs RP. Inclusion criteria were age > 69 years in the HIFU arm (2014 French guidelines), low and intermediate risk PCa (cT1-2 NxM0, GG 1 or 2, PSA 3mm and/or pT3b. All decisions were validated by a local tumor board and reviewed by the national scientific board of the study. Secondary endpoints were metastasis, specific and overall survival (OS), safety and functional outcomes. Patients were followed for at least 30 months. RESULTS: From April 2015 to September 2019, 3328 patients were included (1967 consecutive HIFU and 1361 RP). Median PSA was 7.1 vs 6.9 (p=0.54), GG2 were 50% (p=0.25), in HIFU and RP arms respectively. 1859 patients had 1 HIFU session (94.7%) while 108 had 2 sessions (5.5%). Median follow up for censored patients was 30 months in both treatment groups. The 30-month STFS rate was significantly higher in the HIFU arm (89.8%) compared with the RP arm (86.2%; HR 0.76; 95%CI 0.61-0.96, p=0.008). This result was confirmed by using a pre-planned propensity score matching, including age and other covariates (BMI, ASA score, Prostate volume, PSA level, Grade Group, and ICS score at baseline) and an adjusted analysis using the same covariates in a regression Cox model for survival analysis (HR 0.71; 95% CI 0.52-0.97, p=0.03) (Fig 1). There was no influence of age on salvage treatment decision. No distant metastasis or PCa-specific death was reported. When adjusted on age, there was no OS difference between groups (HR=2.53; 95% CI 0.95-6.73, p=0.06). Complications >IIIa were reported in 2.7% and 2.1% of patients after HIFU and RP, respectively (p=0.26). At 12 months, urinary continence (UPS score ≤1) was better in the HIFU group (RR=0.76; 95%CI 0.70 -0.83 p<0.001). IIEF-5 score decreased significantly less after HIFU than after RP (median Δ = - 4 vs - 9 , p<0.001). There was no statistical difference in quality of life (EORTC QLQC-30) despite an age difference of 9.6 years between the two arms. CONCLUSIONS: The HIFI trial is the first prospective study comparing HIFU vs RP as primary treatment for localized prostate cancer. Salvage therapy-free survival after HIFU was not inferior to that reported after RP at the pre- planned 30-month follow-up. Patient-reported outcomes showed a significant lower negative impact of HIFU on functional outcomes such as urinary continence and erectile function.
