Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Profound Medical Corp. reports new quality-of-life data from the Level 1 post‑market CAPTAIN randomized controlled trial comparing its MRI‑guided TULSA Procedure with robotic radical prostatectomy in men with organ‑confined, intermediate‑risk Gleason Score 7 prostate cancer.

At 1 month, there was no median change in penile length after whole‑gland TULSA, versus a 0.65 cm median reduction after robotic radical prostatectomy, with a 0.42 cm between‑arm difference from a mixed‑effects model (p<0.001). CAPTAIN enrolled 211 patients at 20 U.S. sites, two in Canada and one in Europe, aiming to show non‑inferior cancer control for TULSA with superior quality‑of‑life outcomes, including preservation of erectile function and urinary continence.

  • None.

Negative

  • None.

Filing Explained

The July 24 filing adds six-month quality-of-life results while CAPTAIN’s one-year safety and three-year efficacy milestones remain outstanding.

This July 24, 2026 Form 8-K furnishes a press release under Item 7.01 and says the release is not treated as filed under Section 18 or incorporated into other SEC filings.

The disclosure adds clinical-trial evidence rather than a stated capital, issuance, or ownership event, so it does not identify a structural change for existing common holders.

The release says TULSA had previously shown statistically significant superiority over robotic radical prostatectomy in preserving erectile function and urinary continence at six months, while CAPTAIN's primary safety and efficacy assessments are set for one and three years, respectively.

Those one-year and three-year measures remain the stated trial milestones; this filing does not report them as completed results.

TULSA Procedure medical
"comparing the TULSA Procedure™ with robotic radical prostatectomy"
The Tulsa procedure is a minimally invasive medical treatment for an enlarged prostate that uses targeted pulses of sterile water vapor to destroy excess tissue and relieve urinary blockage. For investors, its clinical adoption, reimbursement status, and ease of use influence demand for the devices, shift patient flow away from long‑term drugs or major surgery, and can materially affect revenue and growth for device manufacturers, hospitals and urology clinics — like a new tool that changes how often and where a condition gets treated.

interventional MRI (iMRI) medical
"a commercial-stage medical device company that develops and markets innovative interventional MRI (iMRI) procedures"
mixed-effects model technical
"between-arm difference in change in penile length estimated from a mixed-effects model"
A mixed-effects model is a statistical tool that estimates relationships in data while accounting for both fixed effects (consistent influences across all observations) and random effects (variations tied to groups or repeated measures). Think of it as separating the general trend from group-specific wiggles, like finding an overall salary pattern while allowing each department to drift up or down. Investors see it in research and regulatory analyses because it helps produce more realistic estimates and uncertainty when data come from multiple groups or repeated measurements.
HDE regulatory
"Sonalleve is approved by the FDA as HDE in the United States"
HDE stands for Humanitarian Device Exemption, an FDA pathway that allows medical devices intended to diagnose or treat rare conditions to reach the market with a lower burden of clinical evidence than usual. Think of it like a special permit for products aimed at very small patient groups; it gives regulatory access more quickly but still limits how the device can be promoted and reimbursed. For investors, an HDE can shorten time to sales and shape the size and predictability of future revenue while carrying specific regulatory and market constraints.

Robotic Radical Prostatectomy Comes Up ‘Short’ in CAPTAIN Trial

– Whole-gland TULSA ablation demonstrates statistically significant superior penile length preservation compared to robotic RP at 1 month –

TORONTO, July 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Profound Medical Corp. (NASDAQ:PROF; TSX:PRN) (“Profound” or the “Company”), a commercial-stage medical device company that develops and markets innovative interventional MRI (iMRI) procedures, today announced new data from the Level 1 post-market CAPTAIN randomized controlled trial comparing the TULSA Procedure™ with robotic radical prostatectomy (“robotic RP”) in men with organ-confined, intermediate-risk, Gleason Score 7 (Grade Group 2 and 3) prostate cancer. At 1 month following the TULSA Procedure, there was no median change in penile length, compared with a median 0.65 cm reduction in penile length after robotic RP.

The new penile length results in favor of the TULSA Procedure were presented for the first time earlier today by Xiaosong Meng, MD, PhD, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Urology at UT Southwestern Medical Center, at the Society of Robotic Surgery (“SRS”) Annual Meeting held in Fort Lauderdale, FL.

Dr. Meng’s SRS presentation highlighted:

  • No median change in penile length at 1 month after whole-gland TULSA, compared with a median 0.65 cm reduction in penile length after robotic RP.
  • A statistically significant between-arm difference in change in penile length estimated from a mixed-effects model (0.42 cm; p<0.001).
  • Additional quality of life context following Profound’s previously announced CAPTAIN primary safety endpoint results, in which TULSA demonstrated statistically significant superiority over robotic RP in preserving both erectile function and urinary continence at 6 months.

“Penile length is not something many men feel comfortable talking about, even in the absence of prostate disease,” said Arun Menawat, Profound’s CEO and Chairman. “Because the penis may be deeply tied to their identity, masculinity, and/or self-worth, even small amounts of penile shrinkage can cause men a lot of additional worry and distress. This new data points to the greater peace of mind that the TULSA Procedure can deliver to patients by gently, safely and precisely ablating prostate tissue while actively protecting surrounding structures.”

About CAPTAIN

CAPTAIN (A Comparison of TULSA Procedure vs. Radical Prostatectomy in Participants with Localized Prostate Cancer) is a prospective, multi-center randomized controlled trial aimed at comparing the safety and efficacy of the TULSA Procedure (performed with the TULSA-PRO® system) with robotic RP in men with organ-confined, intermediate-risk, Gleason Score 7 (Grade Group 2 and 3) prostate cancer. CAPTAIN exceeded its enrollment target, treating 211 patients, instead of the initially planned 201 patients, by August 2025 at 20 sites in the United States, two in Canada and one in Europe. The goal of CAPTAIN is to demonstrate that the efficacy of the TULSA procedure is not inferior to robotic RP, while demonstrating superior quality of life outcomes. The primary safety endpoint is the proportion of patients who preserve both erectile potency and urinary continence at one year after treatment. The primary efficacy endpoint is the proportion of patients who are free from any additional treatment for prostate cancer, free of metastases or prostate cancer related death by three years after treatment. Secondary endpoints include comparison of rates of complications, cost effectiveness, as well as histologic and biochemical failure.
