About this study

Official title: Accuracy of Targeted Biopsies Using MRI-TRUS Fusion Guidance: Pilot Study on Ex Vivo Radical Prostatectomy Specimens

This pilot clinical trial studies magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) fusion image-guided prostate biopsy following radical prostatectomy in patients with prostate cancer. Diagnostic procedures, such as MRI-TRUS fusion image-guided prostate biopsy may help find and diagnose prostate cancer

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate accuracy of the new image-guided targeted needle biopsy using the ex-vivo human prostate as obtained from fresh radical prostatectomy specimens.

OUTLINE: Patients undergo robotic radical prostatectomy, followed by 3 MRI-TRUS fusion image-guided prostate biopsies.

Conditions
Prostate Cancer
Being tested
therapeutic conventional surgery, ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy, magnetic resonance imaging

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of times the first biopsy needle is placed within 3.0 mm of the center lesion

    A likelihood ratio test will be used to test for independence among lesions within a prostate (corresponding to a lack of systematic MRI-TRUS image distortion and implying that, overall, 1st biopsies to a lesion within one prostate are as likely to accurate as in another prostate).

    Measured: One month after last patient enrolled is taken off study

  2. Number of times the second biopsy needle is placed within 3.0 mm of the center lesion

    A likelihood ratio test will be used to test for independence among lesions within a prostate (corresponding to a lack of systematic MRI-TRUS image distortion and implying that, overall, 1st biopsies to a lesion within one prostate are as likely to accurate as in another prostate).

    Measured: One month after last patient enrolled is take off study

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Average distance of the first needle to the center of the lesion

    A nested (random effects) analysis of variance (ANOVA) will be used to analyze the distance of the first needle from the center of the lesion. Standard error or 95% confidence interval will be calculated.

    Measured: One month after last patient enrolled is taken off study

  2. Average distance of the second needle from the first needle minus 2.0 mm

    A nested (random effects) ANOVA will be used to analyze the distance of the first needle from the center of the lesion.

    Measured: One month after last patient enrolled is taken off study

  3. Average distance of the third needle from the first needle minus 2.0 mm

    A nested (random effects) ANOVA will be used to analyze the distance of the first needle from the center of the lesion.

    Measured: One month after last patient enrolled is taken off study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing therapeutic conventional surgery, ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy and magnetic resonance imaging in people with Prostate Cancer, run by University of Southern California at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jan 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of times the first biopsy needle is placed within 3.0 mm of the center lesion (time frame: One month after last patient enrolled is taken off study). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Jan 2014.
