About this study

Official title: Molecular Image-directed, 3D Ultrasound-guided Biopsy of the Prostate

The objective of the proposed study is to evaluate a new, molecular image directed, three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound guided biopsy system in human patients. The current biopsy uses ultrasound imaging as guidance. However, the procedure uses two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound images and has sampling errors thus some cancers can be missed from the standard 2D image-guided biopsy. In this study, an FDA-approved ultrasound device will be used to obtain three-dimensional (3D) images of the prostate from a commercially available ultrasound scanner. The clinician can use the 3D images to guide biopsy, record the core location of the biopsy sites, and perform re-biopsy to the same sites in a patient follow-up examination. This system can also use images from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or positron emission tomography (PET) and then fuse PET or MR images with 3D ultrasound images to guide the needle to a suspicious tumor target as seen on MRI or PET. We think that this fusion targeted biopsy technology will help to improve the accuracy of the current systematic biopsy approach for prostate cancer detection.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • 3D ultrasound-guided biopsyDevice

    Patients will have a PET/CT prior to the biopsy. The CT images will be combined with the PET images for improved localization of suspicious tumors. During the biopsy, the 3-D ultrasound images will be acquired immediately before the biopsy while the patient is on the table. The ultrasound images together with the PET images will be used to guide the targeted biopsy of the prostate.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cancer Detection by Targeted and Standard Biopsy Approaches

    The feasibility of detecting cancer detection with the targeted prostate biopsy was assessed. This study sought only to determine if the targeted biopsy approach was able to detect recurrent prostate cancer and values for the number of samples testing positive for cancer per each biopsy approach are not available. This feasibility study preceded a clinical trial (NCT02744534) assessing the accuracy of prostate cancer detection with targeted biopsies compared to the standard biopsy.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 3D ultrasound-guided biopsy in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Emory University 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 3 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 17 Sep 2019. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Sep 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Cancer Detection by Targeted and Standard Biopsy Approaches (time frame: Up to 2 years). 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 17 Sep 2019.
