Pilot Study Finds 30-Day Molecular Improvement in Prostate Health Following Intraprostatic Ozone Therapy, Tracked by the EpiSwitch® PSE Blood Test
The EpiSwitch® PSE test is a validated, 94% accurate, blood-based assay that assesses 3D genomic conformations linked to clinically significant prostate cancer. The pilot used paired pre- and post-treatment PSE and PSA measures and included linear discriminant analysis, which demonstrated distinct clustering of pre- versus post-therapy molecular profiles.
"Men deserve better, faster feedback on whether an intervention is moving their biology in the right direction," said
Intraprostatic ozone was administered transperineally (20 μg/mL gamma ozone; 40 mL total) using external landmarking to approximate the bilateral transitional and central zones. Thirty days later, patients repeated PSA and PSE testing. Marker-level patterns included directional changes in regions associated with extracellular matrix remodeling and gene regulation, aligning with the overall PSE score reductions.
"We observed coordinated molecular shifts over a short interval in most participants, findings that were both notable and encouraging," said Dr.
Limitations noted by the authors include the small cohort (n=10), a 30-day observation window, and the exclusion of one older participant from some analyses due to statistical outlier status. The authors emphasize that ozone therapy is investigational in this context and that prospective, controlled studies are needed.
