First Clinical Data from the Investigator-initiated study with CLS Focal Laser Ablation system at the University Hospital Magdeburg will be presented at the Nordkongress in Lübeck 13-15 June 2024
Lund, Sweden - CLS today announces that first clinical data from the PRO-FLA study (Fokale Laserablation (FLA) zur fokalen Behandlung des lokal begrenzten Prostata-karzinoms) using the CLS TRANBERG® Thermal Therapy system for focal laser ablation will be presented at the Nordkongress in Lübeck 13-15 June 2024. An abstract with the title “Ultrasound-guided Focal Laser Ablation in Localized Prostate Cancer within the Pro-FLA Study – Oncological outcome after 6 months” has been accepted for an oral presentation to be held 13 June.
The presentation is part of the scientific program of the conference and the abstract is available here https://www.nordkongress-urologie.de/2024/programm/ (in German).
In the abstract the authors (M. Gür, C. Samtleben, A. Fehr, M. Schostak and S. Blaschke) conclude that the PRO-FLA study demonstrates technical feasibility and safety of transperineal focal laser ablation. Early results show promising PSA response as well as good local response, i.e. tumor control.
Based on these positive interim results the clinical team at Otto-von-Guericke University, Magdeburg, Clinic for urology, uro-oncology, robot-assisted and focal therapy has decided to extend the study by 15 additional patients. Local ethical committee approval is received for the study extension.

About prostate cancer
About 1,400,000 new cases per year of prostate cancer are reported worldwide with approximately 350.000 of them within EU. Although the landscape of prostate cancer treatment shows several treatment options, there is still an important unmet need for patients with localized prostate cancer who progressed to intermediate risk stage. The currently available surgical options show significant risks and side effects related to urinary and erectile functions and quality of life.
