About this study

Official title: Pilot Study of Transrectal Multiparametric MRI-Guided Biopsy: Role in Prostate Cancer Evaluation

This pilot clinical trial studies transrectal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided biopsy to see how well it works in identifying cancer in patients with suspected prostate cancer who are scheduled to undergo standard biopsy. Transrectal MRI-guided biopsy uses a thin needle inserted through the rectum into the prostate and takes a sample of tissue, guided by MRI. MRI uses magnets to take pictures of the prostate and may be able to identify cancer. Transrectal MRI-guided biopsy may be more accurate and cause patients less pain than standard ultrasound-guided biopsy. It is not yet known whether transrectal MRI-guided biopsy is more effective than ultrasound-guided biopsy in identifying prostate cancer.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To improve the treatment of patients with prostate cancer utilizing diagnostic multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and MRI-guided prostate biopsy combined with molecular and clinical data to help determine the extent of prostate cancer and risk of disease progression.

II. To determine the relative accuracy of transrectal MRI-guided versus ultrasound-guided biopsy for the diagnosis of prostate cancer in patients with an appropriate dominant target lesion at multiparametric MRI, using pooled cancer diagnoses by either MRI-guided or ultrasound-guided biopsy as the reference standard.

III. To determine the proportion of positive transrectal MRI-guided biopsies that demonstrate a higher Gleason score than contemporaneous transrectal ultrasound guided biopsy.

IV. To determine the management impact of transrectal MRI-targeted biopsy results as compared to transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided systematic biopsy results.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive gadodiamide intravenously (IV) and undergo a diagnostic multiparametric endorectal MRI. Patients with lesions visible on the diagnostic multiparametric endorectal MRI undergo transrectal MRI-guided biopsy within 2 weeks of diagnostic multiparametric endorectal MRI. Patients then undergo TRUS-guided biopsy per standard clinical care approximately 2 weeks after transrectal MRI-guided biopsy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of MRI-guided Biopsies That Demonstrate a Higher Gleason Score Than Contemporaneous TRUS Guided Biopsy

    The proportion of MRI-guided biopsies that demonstrate a higher Gleason score than contemporaneous TRUS guided biopsy for all patients diagnosed of prostate cancer based on the reference standard will be estimated. McNemar's test will be used to assess whether the MRI-guided biopsies are more likely to yield a higher Gleason score compared with TRUS guided biopsy. Simple logistic regression model will be used to assess the association between the higher Gleason score and patient characteristics and/or clinical information for patients diagnosed of prostate cancer.

    Measured: Up to 42 days (6 weeks)

  2. Sensitivity of MRI-guided Biopsy

    The presence of cancer on either biopsy or absence of cancer on both will be used as the reference standard. For comparison of the two methods, the 2X2 matched sample tables will be presented, and the difference in sensitivity estimated. The relative accuracy of MRI- versus TRUS-guided biopsy will be compared using McNemar's test. To explore potential associations between the accuracy of each method with patient characteristics and/or clinical information, a binary endpoint will be created to reflect agreement between each method and the reference standard.

    Measured: Up to 2 weeks after diagnostic MRI

  3. Sensitivity of TRUS-guided Biopsy

    The presence of cancer on either biopsy or absence of cancer on both will be used as the reference standard. For comparison of the two methods, the 2X2 matched sample tables will be presented, and the difference in sensitivity estimated. The relative accuracy of MRI- versus TRUS-guided biopsy will be compared using McNemar's test. To explore potential associations between the accuracy of each method with patient characteristics and/or clinical information, a binary endpoint will be created to reflect agreement between each method and the reference standard.

    Measured: Up to 2 weeks after MRI-guided biopsy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 3 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Gadodiamide and Multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging in people with Health Status Unknown and Prostate Carcinoma, run by OHSU Knight Cancer Institute 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 7 inclusion and 6 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Apr 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 3 Apr 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?

Proportion of MRI-guided Biopsies That Demonstrate a Higher Gleason Score Than Contemporaneous TRUS Guided Biopsy (time frame: Up to 42 days (6 weeks)). The study lists 3 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 3 Apr 2019.
