SpaceOAR Vue System for Prostate Cancer
(SABRE Trial)
Trial Summary
The trial protocol does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, if you are on anticoagulants (blood thinners), you may need to stop them for the procedure.
Research shows that Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT), a component of the treatment, is safe and effective for low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer, with promising quality of life outcomes. Additionally, Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (SABR) is feasible and well-tolerated for intermediate- and high-risk prostate cancer, although more data is needed for high-risk cases.
12345Research on stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), which is related to the SpaceOAR Vue System, shows that it is generally safe for treating prostate cancer, with safety established through various clinical trials.
24678The SpaceOAR Vue System with SBRT is unique because it uses an iodinated rectal spacer to protect the rectum during radiation therapy, allowing for more precise targeting of the prostate cancer while minimizing damage to surrounding tissues. This approach is particularly beneficial for patients who cannot undergo MRI, as the spacer is visible on CT scans, aiding in accurate treatment planning.

This trial is for men over 18 with invasive prostate cancer who plan to undergo SBRT. They must have a clinical stage T2b-T2c tumor, Gleason Score of 7, or PSA levels between 10-20 ng/ml. Exclusions include PSA >20 ng/ml, metastatic disease, prior malignancies (unless disease-free for 3 years), previous local prostate treatments or pelvic irradiation, compromised immune systems, large prostates (>80 cc), and certain medical conditions.Inclusion Criteria
