About this study

This study explores the potential use of DNA markers in the detection of prostate cancer and patient perceptions of this screening approach and other current or future prostate cancer screening and diagnostic tests.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. To assess the accuracy of MDM candidates (individually and in combination) assayed from urine and prostatic fluid (collected following digital prostate massage) for detection of CAP.

OUTLINE: This is an observational study.

PHASE I: Participants undergo urine sample collection on study.

PHASE II: Participants undergo standard prostate massage and collection of prostatic fluid and urine samples on study.

All participants complete a questionnaire and have their medical records reviewed on study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Accuracy of methylated DNA markers (MDMs) for detection of cancer of the prostate (CAP)

    Assessed by instances of CAP detected using MDMs assayed from urine (Phase I) and from urine and prostate fluid (collected following digital prostate massage for participants in Phase II) for detection of CAP.

    Measured: Baseline

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Accuracy of CAP detection

    Assessed by instances of CAP detected and confirmed using MDMs assayed from urine and prostate fluid.

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Comparison of sample volumes

    Variability of sample volumes will be assessed for DNA and MDM yield.

    Measured: Baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prostate Adenocarcinoma and Prostate Carcinoma, run by Mayo Clinic 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 2 inclusion and 14 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 15 Dec 2025. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Closed to consolidate enrollment under another related study). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Accuracy of methylated DNA markers (MDMs) for detection of cancer of the prostate (CAP) (time frame: Baseline). 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 15 Dec 2025.
