Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Devices - Barrigel
Treatment: Devices - Transrectal Ultrasound

Experimental: Treatment Arms - Subjects will be injected Barrigel between the rectum and prostate bed using transrectal ultrasound for guidance.

Sham comparator: Control Arm - Subjects randomized to the control group will not receive Barrigel but will have a Transrectal ultrasound probe inserted to simulate that aspect of the injection of Barrigel.


Treatment: Devices: Barrigel
Barrigel is an absorbable gel based on Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid (NASHA™) that is injected into the peri-rectal space

Treatment: Devices: Transrectal Ultrasound
All subjects will have a transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) conducted. In the control subjects this will act as a sham procedure. For the investigational subjects, the TRUS will be used to visualize the placement of the needle

Key exclusion criteria
1. Known allergy to hyaluronic acid
2. Pathologic T4 disease
3. Prior local prostate cancer therapy including cryotherapy or brachytherapy.

9. Any urogenital abnormality that could limit the ability to access the Barrigel injection site
10. White blood cell count <4000/uL or >12,000/uL.
11. Hemoglobin <10 g/dL (transfusion or other intervention to achieve this is acceptable).
12. Active bleeding disorder or clinically significant coagulopathy defined as PTT >35 seconds or INR >1.4 or platelet count <100,000/mm3.

18. History of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Patients with controlled HIV infection (CD4+ T-cell counts = 350 cells/µL) and no history of AIDS-defining opportunistic infections may be included.
19. Contraindication to having an MRI or PSMA/PET scan (e.g. non-MRI compatible device).
20. Presence of bilateral hip implants, although unilateral hip implant may be permissible if the implant is MRI compatible and does not produce artifact that interferes with any requirements of the study protocol
21. Subject unable or unwilling to comply with study requirements
22. Any condition that in the investigator's opinion would prevent administration or completion of study therapy
