About this study

Official title: Prostate Cancer Detection Using a Quantitative Screening MRI Protocol

Whether a quantitative detection specfic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocol improves prostate cancer (PCa) detection in biopsy naïve men is not adequately studied.

Read the detailed description

This will be a 2 arm prospective clinical trial. Men with clinical suspicion for PCa but no prior prostate biopsy will be enrolled from the University of Illinois (UI) Health Urology clinics. All eligible men will be screened and enrolled by the clinical research coordinator. Enrolled men will undergo detection protocol MRI at the UIC Advanced Imaging Center (AIC) prior to diagnostic biopsy. The MRI will be processed by the study team and evaluated for areas suspicious for high grade PCa by a board certified clinical radiologist. Subjects with MRI with no suspicious areas for high grade PCa will undergo standard of care (SOC) core transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) biopsy. Subject with MRI suspicious for high grade PCa will have 2-4 biopsies guided toward each suspicious lesion using MRI/TRUS fusion biopsies (maximum of 12 cores). All biopsies will undergo SOC histologic processing and interpretation in pathology. Biopsy results will be communicated to the patients by the Urologist performing the biopsy and all additional management will be SOC. This visit will signify the end of the study

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Any Grade or High Grade (Gleason Score 7 or Higher) Prostate Cancer as Measured by Histopathology

    Per subject prevalence of any grade or high grade (Gleason score 7 or higher) prostate cancer as measured by histopathology. When looking at cells under the microscope, the doctor assigns a grade between 1-5. 1 means almost normal and 5 means very different from normal. Adding to two most common grades determines the Gleason score. Higher numbers indicate a faster growing cancer

    Measured: 19 months

  2. Number of Biopsy Samples With a Prevalence of High Grade (Gleason 7 or Higher) Prostate Cancer as Measured by Histopathology

    Per biopsy sample prevalence of high grade (Gleason 7 or higher) prostate cancer as measured by histopathology. When looking at cells under the microscope, the doctor assigns a grade between 1-5. 1 means almost normal and 5 means very different from normal. Adding to two most common grades determines the Gleason score. Higher numbers indicate a faster growing cancer

    Measured: 19 months

  3. Number of Participants With PI-RADS 4-5 on MRI

    The accuracy of the mpMRI (PI-RADS version 2 score) to accurately characterize Gleason 7 or higher prostate cancer as measured by histopathology. When looking at cells under the microscope, the doctor assigns a grade between 1-5. 1 means almost normal and 5 means very different from normal. Adding to two most common grades determines the Gleason score. Higher numbers indicate a faster growing cancer

    Measured: 19 months

  4. Number of Participants With PI-RADS <4 MRI

    The accuracy of the mpMRI (PI-RADS version 2 score) to accurately characterize Gleason 7 or higher prostate cancer as measured by histopathology. When looking at cells under the microscope, the doctor assigns a grade between 1-5. 1 means almost normal and 5 means very different from normal. Adding to two most common grades determines the Gleason score. Higher numbers indicate a faster growing cancer

    Measured: 19 months

  5. Number of Participants That Had Adverse Events

    Adverse events of prostate biopsy using the Clavien-Dindo scale

    Measured: 19 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ultrasound and MRI and Ultrasound in people with Prostate Cancer, run by University of Illinois at Chicago 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 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 9 Jun 2022. 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 9 Jun 2022). 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?

Number of Participants With Any Grade or High Grade (Gleason Score 7 or Higher) Prostate Cancer as Measured by Histopathology (time frame: 19 months). The study lists 5 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 9 Jun 2022.
