The principal aim of the registry is to collect data on focal therapy (FT) for the treatment of intermediate-risk prostate cancer across Europe. Data will be gathered on cancer absence following treatment, survival rates, and the absence of disease failure or progression. Information will be collected from as many centers as possible over the next 5 years to enhance understanding of when focal therapy should be used, which energy types are most effective, and how patients respond to treatment, including its side effects and impact on quality of life.
This Europe-wide data collection will contribute to improving care by informing the development of enhanced national and international guidelines for prostate cancer treatment with focal therapy.
Focal Therapy has been introduced and evaluated as a minimally invasive treatment aimed at improving management strategies for localized prostate cancer. This technique consists of ablating the dominant lesion while preserving as much of the non-cancerous tissue as possible, and treating only the areas that require intervention.
The aim of the Jupiter Registry is to establish a registry for patients with intermediate-risk prostate cancer undergoing FT. The registry will prospectively gather standardized data from multiple European centers.
The goal is to collect data from as many centers as possible over a 5-year follow-up period to inform clinical practices on FT indications, energy type selection, and patient outcomes, including efficacy, complications, and quality of life. This Europe-wide, reliable data will help develop national and international recommendations and guidelines to improve patient care.
This registry will subsequently enable the development of Jupiter Studies, a series of registry-based studies designed to analyze specific research questions regarding focal therapy in patients with intermediate-risk prostate cancer. The aim is to generate robust evidence on various aspects (efficacy, safety, functional impact, oncological impact) of focal therapy in a real-world evidence context.
Data such as PSA levels, MRI results, and biopsy outcomes will be collected during patient follow-up.
Additionally, data on salvage treatments will be documented, including the type and complications of any salvage treatments performed during follow-up up to 60 months post-FT.
Although the registry provides a uniform data collection on the population of patients with intermediate-risk localized prostate cancer who have undergone FT in accordance with EMA recommendations (Guideline on registry-based studies EMA/426390/2021), the principal and secondary aims defined below will subsequently enable the realization of the Jupiter Studies.

The specific technique will depend on the rules, approvals, and regulations of the country where the treatment is performed. |

The study includes patients with intermediate-risk prostate cancer (PCa), as defined by the European Association of Urology (EAU) risk groups, with a life expectancy of more than 10 years. The criteria for intermediate-risk PCa are: PSA 10-20 ng/mL or GS 7 (ISUP grade 2/3) or cT2b (based on digital rectal examination).
According to the latest EAU guidelines, patients with low-risk localized prostate cancer (PCa) should be offered active surveillance, while those with high-risk localized PCa should receive multimodal treatment. For intermediate-risk patients, alongside prostatectomy and radiotherapy, the EAU guidelines strongly recommend "focal ablative therapy within clinical trials or registries."
The indication for treatment with focal therapy is entrusted to the clinicians of each center.

Local Research Institutions may also use the data that entered in the database for further research, if their research project has been validated by the Scientific Committee. Local Research Institutions may export their data themselves using the exporting tool in Excel, CSV or SPSS format for data. In this case, Research Institutions access the data in the database and undertake to only use these data for the purposes of the research project that has been validated.
During the entire duration of the Jupiter Registry the data will remain pseudonymized in Castor EDC (cool-down period). During this timeframe data is kept in a protected state or with restricted access before it is made available for further analysis or actions such as anonymization or permanent deletion.
At the end of Jupiter registry, EAU-RF will anonymize the Study Data according to Regulations and to actual official European guidelines and create a "Data haven" ensuring that it is impossible to re-identify the data.
