What this phase means
This study does not use the classic phase 1–4 drug ladder. It may be a device, a behavior program, a surgery timing study, or an early feasibility test.
Phase labels are FDA/ICH categories applied to the registry Phase field. They are not a finding that this study succeeded.
What the registry says happens
If you join, the listed intervention(s) are Targeted Microwave Ablation (TMA) for localized prostate cancer using organ based tracking (OBT) navigation. The registry lists allocation as na. This study is to investigate the how well it works of Targeted Microwave Ablation (TMA) under MRI-Ultrasound fusion and organ-based tracking (OBT) navigation in localized prostate cancer (PCa) in a multi-centre trial.
They plan to enroll about 110 people at Shatin. Taking part typically means using or being fitted with a device plus check-ins.
