Primary Outcome Measures:

The primary endpoint will be the absence of biochemical failure, which is defined as a rise of 2.0 ng/mL or more above the PSA nadir and negative biopsy at 24 months. [ Time Frame: 24 Months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment:	466
Study Start Date:	April 2007
Estimated Study Completion Date:	December 2011
Estimated Primary Completion Date:	December 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Device, HIFU High Intensity Focused Ultrasound	Device: HIFU (Sonablate® 500) High Intensity Focused Ultrasound Other Names: SB-500 Sonablate 500 HIFU
Active Comparator: Device, brachytherapy Brachytherapy	Device: Brachytherapy Standard of care Other Names: Raditation Seed Implants Brachy

Detailed Description:

The proposed study is a prospective, non-randomized concurrently controlled study. The active treatment arm uses the HIFU procedure with the Sonablate device. The control arm uses the brachytherapy procedure. The safety and effectiveness of the Sonablate arm will be compared with the brachytherapy arm. The control arm of the study will be conducted at clinical sites different from the Sonablate arm.
