About this study

To enable the paradigm of mp-MRI before biopsy in all patients with suspected prostate cancer by better selecting patients who will benefit from diagnostic MRI and by improving the performance of the mp-MRI itself

Read the detailed description

Patients will undergo an advanced diffusion-weighted MRI sequence called VERDICT with the intention of better characterising prostate cancer. A panel of serum and urine biomarkers will also be analysed, which we hope will predict those patients who go on have a positive MRI.

OBJECTIVES:

  • To establish a fluidic marker - prostate MRI paradigm which: (i) utilises fluidic markers to rationalise selection of patients with significant prostate cancer; and (ii) improves the diagnostic accuracy of imaging over and above standard multiparametric (mp) MRI
  • Enable a pathway for rapid clinical evaluation of emerging fluidic markers and exosomes
  • Assess the repeatability of VERDICT MRI
  • Ascertain whether VERDICT derived quantitative parameters correlate with quantitative histological parameters
  • Develop a database of fluidic marker and VERDICT characterised, mp-MRI, histologically validated patients for subsequent exploratory and longitudinal outcome analysis

What participants receive

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

  • MRIOther

    VERDICT diffusion-weighted microstructure imaging sequence

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnostic accuracy of VERDICT MRI

    Radiological assessment with added VERDICT MRI improves the specificity of mp-MRI for detection of significant prostate cancer by >10% above standard multi-parametric MRI alone.

    Measured: 3 - 6 months (after targeted biopsy or follow up MRI)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prostate Cancer, run by University College, London at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 1 inclusion and 5 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 27 Mar 2020. 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 Kingdom. 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?

Diagnostic accuracy of VERDICT MRI (time frame: 3 - 6 months (after targeted biopsy or follow up MRI)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02689271, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 27 Mar 2020.
