The TULSA-PRO System is indicated for transurethral ultrasound ablation (TULSA) of prostate tissue.

Device Story

TULSA-PRO system performs thermal ablation of prostate tissue using transurethral directional ultrasound under real-time MRI guidance. System includes transurethral ultrasound applicator (UA) and transrectal endorectal cooling device (ECD) to protect rectal wall. Physician uses console to plan treatment by contouring tissue on high-resolution MR images. Closed-loop software processes real-time MR thermometry data to dynamically adjust ultrasound frequency, power, and rotation rate. UA rotates 360 degrees to deliver continuous thermal coagulation to prescribed volume. Used in MRI suite; operated by physician. Output provides precise thermal ablation of prostate tissue while sparing urethra and urinary sphincter. Benefits include customized treatment planning and real-time monitoring to minimize thermal damage to critical surrounding structures.

Clinical Evidence

Prospective TACT pivotal study (n=115) evaluated safety and effectiveness in patients with organ-confined prostate cancer. Primary efficacy endpoint: PSA reduction ≥75% achieved in 96% of patients. Median prostate volume reduction was 91.4% at 12 months. Safety endpoints included CTCAE-graded adverse events; no rectal injury, fistula, or severe urinary incontinence/dysfunction reported. 7.8% of patients experienced attributable Grade 3 adverse events, all resolved by 12 months. 63% of patients showed complete histological response on 12-month biopsy (ITT analysis).

Technological Characteristics

System comprises console, PC, TULSA-PRO software, water cooling circuit, transurethral UA, and transrectal ECD. UA uses linear array of 10 planar rectangular ultrasound elements (4-4.8 MHz low frequency; 13.4-14.4 MHz high frequency). Closed-loop controller manages frequency, power, and rotation. Complies with IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-62, ISO 10993, and ISO 14971. Sterilization via ethylene oxide. Connectivity includes MRI interface for real-time thermometry.

Device Description The TULSA-PRO system combines real-time Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging and MR thermometry with transurethral directional ultrasound and closed-loop process control software to deliver precise thermal ablation of a customized volume of physician prescribed prostate tissue. The system consists of both hardware and software components. Transurethral ultrasound ablation (TULSA) treatment ablates prostate tissue using in-bore real-time MRI treatment planning, monitoring, visualization, and active temperature feedback control. The closed-loop features of the TULSA-PRO software use a real-time MRI interface to process MRI prostate temperature measurements, and communicate with the TULSA-PRO hardware, thereby controlling frequency, power and rotation rate of ultrasound to ablate physician prescribed prostate tissue with a high degree of precision. The physician inserts two catheters, one transurethral and another transrectal, into the patient before he is moved into the MR bore. The transurethral catheter consists of an Ultrasound Applicator (UA) which delivers energy from the urethra outwards into the prostate tissue, heating it to thermal coagulation. The transrectal catheter is an Endorectal Cooling Device (ECD) which does not emit any energy, and cools the rectal wall adjacent to the prostate. Both catheters have fluid flowing inside throughout the treatment to thermally protect the urethra and rectum, in order to minimize the potential of any thermal damage to either the urinary or rectal pathways. The physician uses the TULSA-PRO console to robotically position the UA in the prostate and plan the treatment by contouring the prescribed tissue on realtime high-resolution cross-sectional MR images of the prostate. These features provide the physician with the ability and the control to customize the treatment plan to minimize thermal impact to critical structures surrounding the prostate including the external urethral sphincter, rectum and neurovascular bundles. The treatment begins based upon the physician's instructions by enabling the software to initiate thermal ablation. The TULSA-PRO closed-loop process control software reads real-time MR thermometry measurements and adjusts automatically and dynamically the frequency, power and rotation rate of ultrasound provided by each {5}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/5/Picture/1 description: The image contains the logo for Profound Medical Inc.

There is a horizontal line going through the "O" in profound. UA transducer, to deliver precise ablation of the prescribed prostate tissue. The software controls automated, continuous and robotic rotation of the transurethral UA by 360 degrees in sync with the process controlled delivery of thermal heating to all the intended regions of the prostate. Following completion of the ablation process, the two catheters are removed from the natural orifices of the patients. #### V.

Clinical Data The TULSA-PRO has been evaluated in prospective clinical trials, including the TACT Pivotal Study which was designed to determine the safety and effectiveness of the device according to the proposed intended use. Between September 2016 and February 2018, the TACT study enrolled 115 patients across the United States, Canada and Europe with biopsy-proven, organ-confined prostate cancer (67.0% and 33.0% of subjects had NCCN intermediate and low risk disease, respectively). All patients received primary treatment of whole-gland prostate ablation with sparing of the urethra and urinary sphincter. The median age of enrolled patients was 65 {8}------------------------------------------------ years, with targeted prostate volume of 40 cc and ultrasound treatment delivery time of 51 minutes. A median of 97.6% of the prescribed prostate volume was heated to an ablative thermal dose with spatial ablation precision of ±1.4 mm measured on MRI thermometry during treatment. The primary efficacy endpoint of TACT was the proportion of patients achieving a post-treatment PSA reduction ≥ 75% of their pre-treatment baseline value. The primary safety endpoint was the frequency and severity of all adverse events graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE). Secondary endpoints included prostate volume reduction, proportion of patients with negative biopsy, patient reported changes in quality of life (erectile, urinary and bowel function), and evaluation of multiparametric prostate MRI. Primary and secondary endpoints were assessed at 12 months after TULSA-PRO treatment, with per-protocol follow-up continuing to 5 years. The TULSA-PRO device used to collect clinical data was developed and manufactured in accordance with requirements of ISO 13485 compliant Quality Management System. The prospective clinical studies were conducted in accordance with 21 CFR 812 regulations. ## Safety: Adverse Events All Adverse Events (AE) were documented during the TACT study regardless of their attribution to the TULSA-PRO procedure. All AE's were evaluated according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) developed by the NCI and were standardized to medical terminology using the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA). Table 1 summarizes all AE observed during the TACT pivotal study through to the 12-month visit, regardless of severity or relation to the TULSA-PRO device or procedure. To 12 months, there was no rectal injury or fistula, and no severe urinary incontinence or erectile dysfunction. There were no Grade 4 or higher AE related or possibly related (attributable) to TULSA-PRO. There was one unrelated Grade 4 event of coronary artery disease resolved with a triple coronary artery bypass. There were 12 attributable Grade 3 AE in 9 patients (7.8%), all resolved by the 12 month follow-up. An additional 10 unrelated Grade 3 events occurred in 7 subjects, of which two were ongoing at 12 months: an upper GI bleed caused by esophageal adenocarcinoma which was resolving as of 12 months, and unrelated pelvic pain caused by a urinary stone which resolved after the 12 month visit. The majority of attributable events were acute Grade 1 and 2 (occurring and resolving within 3 months of treatment), related to the genitourinary system. {9}------------------------------------------------ Urethral stenosis occurred in 3 subjects (one Grade 2 and two Grade 3, all resolved). Urinary tract infections were common and resolved with oral antibiotics in nearly all affected patients. Urinary retention occurred in 9 attributable Grade 2 events (7% of patients) and 2 attributable Grade 3 events (1.7%), all resolved with medication and prolonged catheterization up to a maximum of less than 3 months. Attributable gastrointestinal AE were limited to acute Grade 1 events and 7 acute Grade 2 events: pain/discomfort (3.5% of subjects), nausea (1.7%), and constipation (0.9%), all of which resolved within one month and could potentially be attributed to anesthesia or GI anti-spasmodic medication. Erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence are common events after prostate therapies. Erectile dysfunction after TULSA-PRO in the TACT study was expected due to the whole-gland nature of the ablation. Of the 52 patients (45.2%) with some erectile dysfunction immediately after TULSA-PRO treatment, 49 (42.6%) were assessed by the study investigators as attributable to TULSA-PRO, of which 41 (35.7%) were ongoing at the 12-month follow-visit: 14 patients (12.2%) had mild erectile dysfunction (Grade 1, intervention not indicated), 27 patients (23.5%) had moderate erectile dysfunction (Grade 2, intervention such as medication indicated), and no patient (0%) had severe erectile dysfunction (Grade 3, intervention such as medication not helpful) or permanent disability. Of the 28 patients (24.3%) with some urinary incontinence immediately after TULSA-PRO treatment, 26 (22.6%) were assessed by the study investigators as attributable to TULSA-PRO, of which 12 (10.4%) were ongoing at the 12-month follow-visit: 9 patients (7.8%) had mild urinary incontinence (Grade 1, occasional, pads not indicated), 3 patients (2.6%) had moderate urinary incontinence (Grade 2, spontaneous, pads indicated), and no patient (0%) had severe urinary incontinence (Grade 3, operative intervention indicated) or permanent disability. Ongoing attributable moderate (Grade 2) AE at 12 months included ejaculatory disorder (retrograde ejaculation, 2.6% of subjects), weak urinary stream (2.6%), urinary tract infection (1.7%), and disrupted urethra (0.9%, identified on cystoscopy). 42 ( 36.5 %) 32 ( 27.8 %) 21 ( 18.3 %) 26 ( 22.6 %) | Adverse Event (AE) | Any occurrence, regardless<br>of attribution<br># Subjects (%) (n=115) | Subset of AE attributable to<br>TULSA-PRO<br># Subjects (%) (n=115) | |----------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------| | Total | 109 ( 94.8 %) | 101 ( 87.8 %) | | Erectile dysfunction | 52 ( 45.2 %) | 49 ( 42.6 %) | 48 ( 41.7 %) 42 ( 36.5 %) 29 ( 25.2 %) 28 ( 24.3 %) Haematuria Urinary tract infection Urinary incontinence Dysuria Table 1: Summary of all adverse events in TACT.

As per protocol, the TACT study employed a central radiology core lab to measure prostate volume prior to and after treatment with TULSA-PRO, providing consistent methodology and reducing inter-observer variability. In the TACT study, 106 of the 115 patients had MR image data prior to and after TULSA (at 12 months) that were available and readable by the central radiology core lab. Based on the per-protocol assessment from a central radiology core lab, the median (IQR) perfused prostate volume of patients in TACT decreased 91.4% from 37.3 (27.2 – 47.6) cc pre-treatment to 2.8 (1.7 – 4.7) cc at 12 months on MRI. The mean and 95% confidence interval of the prostate volume reduction was 89% (87 – 91%). Given the treatment intent of whole-gland ablation with sparing of the urethra and urinary sphincter, the prostate volume reduction measurements demonstrate that the TULSA-PRO achieved effective prostate tissue ablation. ## PSA Reduction PSA reduction and stability provide additional evidence of effective prostate tissue ablation. Reduction of PSA was observed in all patients at nadir and at 12 months. Primary endpoint of PSA reduction ≥75% was achieved in 110 of 115 (96%) patients. Mean (95% confidence interval) PSA reduction to nadir was 92% (90 – 94%). Median (IQR) PSA reduction was 95% (91 – 98%) to nadir of 0.34 (0.12 – 0.56) ng/ml. Median (IQR) PSA decreased from 6.26 (4.65 - 7.95) ng/ml to 0.53 (0.30 - 1.19) ng/ml at 1 month, remaining stable to 0.53 (0.28 – 1.25) ng/ml at 12 months. ## Prostate Biopsy at 12 months Negative prostate biopsy outcomes provide additional evidence of effective prostate tissue ablation. Prostate histological response was evaluated through 10core prostate biopsy at 12 months, providing high sampling density of the prostate due to the significant volume reduction after TULSA-PRO treatment. Of 115 patients enrolled in the study, 4 (3.5%) did not undergo follow-up biopsy, all due to patient refusal. Using an intent-to-treat analysis (ITT), of 115 patients enrolled in the study, 72 (63%) had a complete histological response with no evidence of any cancer (95% confidence interval: 54 – 71%). For this ITT analysis, the 4 patients who refused follow-up biopsy were considered "positive". {12}------------------------------------------------ K191200 Page 10 of 13 Image /page/12/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for Profound Medical Inc.

Substantial Equivalence The Ablatherm Integrated Imaging has been selected as a predicate device to establish substantial equivalence to TULSA-PRO. Both the subject and predicate devices are High Intensity Therapeutic Ultrasound devices and are indicated for the ablation of prostate tissue. Both devices are intended for use by physicians who have completed mandatory training for safe operation of the devices. Both the subject and predicate devices are intended for prescription use and are performed as minimally invasive procedures. Although there are differences in technological features that could impact safety or effectiveness, the safety and effectiveness of the TULSA-PRO have been demonstrated through assessment of clinical studies. The substantial equivalence is demonstrated in the Table 2. | Table 2.
