Overview
This is a multi-center clinical study enrolling up to 10 participants. The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility and safety of intratumoral DaRT seeds implantation for the treatment of locally recurrent prostate cancer. Secondary objectives are to 1. To evaluate feasibility of interstitial radiotherapy using DaRT seeds.
Feasibility will be determined according to the rate of successful placement of DaRT seeds via imaging [Timeframe: immediately following the insertion procedure 2. To assess the impact of DaRT seeds on patient reported quality of life.
Description
This study is a prospective multicenter, single arm, open label , interventional clinical study to assess the feasibility and safety of intratumoral Alpha DaRT seeds for the treatment of men with non metastatic locally recurrent prostate cancer.
Diffusing Alpha emitters Radiation Therapy (DaRT). Treatment will be delivered through radioactive sources [Ra-224 containing Stainless steel 316LVM tubes- (Alpha DaRT seeds)] inserted into the tumors.

Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- Histologically confirmed locally recurrent prostate adenocarcinoma cancer confined to at least 1 hemi-gland with concordant pathology and imaging findings within 6 months prior to consenting
- Targetable lesion by either PSMA PET-CT according to PERCIST v1.0 or by multiparametric MRI according RECIST v1.1
- Patient being considered for focal salvage brachytherapy
- Lesion size ≤ 3 cm in the longest diameter

- Previous diagnosis of other malignancy < 3 years of enrollment (excluding non-melanomatous skin cancer)
- Volunteers participating in another interventional study in the past 30 days which might conflict with the endpoints of this study or the evaluation of response or toxicity of DaRT
- High probability of protocol non-compliance (in opinion of investigator)
- Subjects not willing to sign an informed consent
- Patients with significant comorbidities that the treating physician deems may conflict with the endpoints of the study (e.g., poorly controlled autoimmune diseases, vasculitis, etc.)
