About this study
The proposed project is intended as a prospective study that includes 60 patients with newly diagnosed penile squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) referred to Oslo University Hospital (OUH), Radiumhospitalet, for surgery, primarily organ-sparing surgery (OSS).
OSS may improve not only quality of life, but also quality of sexual function. However, there is a potential for increased risk of local recurrence after OSS compared to the amputation of the penis. Appropriate preoperative staging, including multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI), can substantially improve selection of patients and decrease the recurrence rate after surgery.
MpMRI without artificial erection is promising diagnostic tool that is poised to be all-in-one solution for staging and preoperative assessment of primary penile cancer, especially prior to OSS. The method is non-invasive and thus comfortable to perform for most of the patients. Novel MRI techniques are not incorporated into current clinical recommendations, and the potential of new, functional sequences has not been evaluated before. The accuracy of functional, non-erectile mpMRI for detecting and staging of primary penile cancer is not known. Thus, the main purpose of this study is to assess the diagnostic value of this method for preoperative assessment of penile cancer.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Multi-parametric, functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)Diagnostic test
Multi-parametric, functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will be performed in all included patients prior to surgery.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Patients with penile squamous cell carcinoma. | Patients with penile squamous cell carcinoma. Receives: Diagnostic Test: Multi-parametric, functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Functional imaging
Assess tumor extent and infiltration depth on multi-parametric MRI (mrT-stage) with histopathological evaluation as a reference standard.
Explore usefulness of multi-parametric MRI in assessing inguinal and pelvic lymph nodes (mrN-stage). 2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG PET-CT), sentinel lymph node evaluation and histopathological examination of the resected specimen will be a gold standard.
Measured: 2022-2024
Secondary outcomes (2)
Clinical outcome
Assess the locoregional recurrence rate and 5-year survival rate following OSS. Clinical outcome data will be obtained from 5 years clinical follow-up at the Department of Urology OUH.
Measured: 2022-2030
Functional outcome
Evaluation of urinary and sexual function following surgery. Functional outcome data will be assessed by urologists using a scoring system and according to the clinical practice, and from interviews with clinical sexologist.
Measured: 2022-2030

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Penile Cancer, run by Oslo University Hospital at 1 site in Norway.
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 1 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Apr 2024. 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 Norway. 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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Marta D Switlyk, MD PhD (47 915 02 770, marswi@ous-hf.no), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Functional imaging (time frame: 2022-2024). 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 NCT05447273, which also lists 10 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 3 Apr 2024.
