The primary endpoints of the Phase I Clinical Trial at 12-month follow-up were met, and results support the objectives of conservative whole-gland prostate ablation. The upcoming Pivotal Clinical Trial will aim to eliminate the safety margin and completely ablate the prostate to the capsule, measuring oncological outcomes while maintaining a similar well-tolerated safety profile.

"This prospective Phase I study demonstrated clinical safety and precision of TULSA-PRO for whole-gland prostate ablation, with low toxicity and a well-tolerated safety profile. We are pleased to be moving on to our next milestone of a larger multi-jurisdictional study of 110 patients at 10 clinical trial sites in 2016," said Steve Plymale, CEO, Profound Medical Corp.
